Claws, spikes, scales and barbels- Year of the Dragon exhibition, Art Gallery of NSW

History, sacred powers and meaning of a Dragon in Chinese culture. A very interesting exposition of Chinese art. Children created their own sketches based on dragon decorated Chinese artifacts.

Plein Air 29th of April 2012- drawing and sketching a real horse.

It was such a successful plein air! Sundance is the name of the 21 years old male horse, we were feeding with carrots and apples first, then started sketching and drawing applying the principles learned during the art classes. I'd like to thank all student and parents, who could make it today, for their participation!

Landscape painting by Nicolas 5 years old.

Landscape painting by Hanle 5 years old

The Art Gallery of NSW

During this visit we learned about the ways to view and study paintings focusing on reading the museum labels, recognizing technique and mediums, getting different impressions by standing closer to or further from the painting, exploring the ways of creating visual impressions of different times of the day.
Children received a sketch book and studied different ways of brush work via copying a painting.
