YEStudio in Action

Just a cool way of keeping up with Youthful Expressions Studio's projects, activities and sessions. Here you can see what we are doing as we are doing it. Well... practically. ;-)

The YES-Kids just finished their Op Art project. The sphere looks as if it is actually raising from the paper! How cool is that?

This shows Journey's Op Art piece. She did an excellent job! Journey is a new student to YEStudio. We are excited to see how she progresses. She picked purple and yellow which are complimentary colors. This project was done using colors that are opposite each other on the color wheel.

There is an Op Art piece from another new student, Lauren. She did a very good job and picked the complimentary colors of orange and blue. Looks good!!

The next project begins this Tuesday and Wednesday. It will be Watercolor project called 'The Big Blue Marble'. Should be lots of fun. The YES-kids will be using Watercolor Pencils to do this art project.
Here are a few more pictures of the Op Art Project.
 









Nicole and Kassidi both did a more advanced version of the Op Art Project. Great job, YES-Kids!

 









Here are Shaelyn's and Will's Op Art pieces. They really look like they are raising off the page!  That's an optical illusion!

It is still  not too late to join us for Fall Session here at YEStudio. Just give us a call at: 865-607-4473, or email cindy@yestudio.org. We will pro-rate the cost of the remaining classes! 
Be sure to check back with the blog to see the finished Big Blue Marble Project! See ya!

YES-Kids do "A Day at the Beach" Summer Camp!

Last week was the YEStudio Summer Camp, at FAB's ArtSpace, in Maryville. The students made a diorama in the theme of:
"A Day at the Beach"

Each day, the students used a different art medium. Monday, they used Colored Pencils to fashion a Lighthouse or a Lifeguard's Chair. These were done using the grid method.


Tuesday was Pastel Kites day. Each student drew and designed the kites in their own unique style. Some kites had a different design on each side.

Wednesday was for Watercolor Sand Castles. They drew their own designs, front and back, then sprinkled salt on their wet castles to produce a very cool effect!


On Thursday, the YES-Kids used Acrylic paints to finish their Clay Beach Toys, which were built in spare moments here and there. The Beach Umbrellas, which were also done with Acrylics, were an awesome addition to the diorama! They can be seen on the finished pieces below. Here they are! To see more, please go to www.yestudio.org and click on the gallery at 2010 Summer Camp.


Friday the YES-Kids assembled the projects onto their dioramas. They put some added touches on their sandy beaches with glue and glitter.
 
Since all the students' names begin with 'K', they did a side project using a fiber board 'K'. They painted, glued and papered their 'Ks' to get the following results. Very impressive!

'K' is for Kassidi!   'K' is for Katelyn! 
'K' is for Konner!   'K' is for Kyleigh!
