My parents retired to northeast Iowa - yes Iowa. :) They live on 19 acres of land out in the rolling countryside. On a few of those acres they have planted a prairie - always wonderful photo inspiration.

This article came out this month in The Calmar Courier. Thank you, Joyce E. Meyer (journalist and photographer).

Traveling the World...in Art

8/10/2013

In our last week of summer classes, my students and I traveled around the world in 5 days.
We kept our artwork to 5x7 inches - a lit bit bigger than a post card.

It was exciting to imagine flying around the globe.
I loved seeing the confidence grow as the kids approached drawing a variety of subjects within the week.

There's more to see! Click on each image to the students' work from each continent:

THE AMAZON RAINFOREST in SOUTH AMERICA
Using colored pencil, creating a foreground, middle ground and background &
mixing a variety of greens.

FAMOUS LANDMARKS in EUROPE

THE GREAT BARRIER REEF in AUSTRALIA

Drawing one line at a time - looking at where the line starts and where it finishes.
Looking for light and dark values & mixing blues and greens.

A SAFARI in AFRICA
Building an animal with basic shapes. Comparing sizes and adding details.
Creating light and dark values with pencil.

The HIMALAYAS in ASIA
The same drawing approach as The Great Barrier Reef: one line at a time.
Drawn on black paper with white colored pencil.
Students chose between colored pencil and tempera paint to mix their colors.
