MY Comic Book Class @ OWL57

My classroom was held in the fine arts gallery on Thursday evenings.  I made this sign for the door to limit interruptions during this time.

  
     This semester I was given the opportunity to build a class for a group of little boys on the complexities of sequential art, as arranged by the Five Towns Jewish Community Center with Owl57. I was inventing this class from scratch, and was only given a few days notice prior to the first class to have the syllabus written. This was only the first of many trials and adversities on the way to the finish line.

     The goal of our experimental 12 week course was to have a final product of one page completed. This is much different from our other children's fine arts courses, in which we complete 1 project every 2 weeks; each project focusing on one of many different medias, such as acrylic, watercolor, pastels, and clay building...

another post for all you cat-lovers...

Some cute kitties by our little artists @Owl57 !

This is the photo taken by our (now former) head teacher Cindy, that is the inspiration behind the lesson:

Heres a humongous acrylic painting that is hanging in the main classroom, and for sale by the fine arts section of the business. I love it.

And don't forget about "BAD KITTY"!

Plus, here is a card I had to make for my boss on Mothers Day last month :P

student work at Owl Art Center

I'm still teaching kids fine art at Owl57 galleries, these are a few of my favorites from the fall/winter session....

I don't like soccer but this is sweet anyway

Teacher pride!

I'm working on six or seven different drawings and paintings right now, so finishing any of them is a slow process. I have been teaching art classes at Owl57's AfterSchool Program for the new semester and I wanted to post a few of my favorite paintings and works-in-progress. They range in ages 6yrs to 9yrs.

"Robin's Nest"

"Central Park in Winter" I am assisting artist Jeff Webb, who instructs this particular class. He's a really interesting, great great guy.

These city drawings are an homage to a painting by Edward Sokol titled "Inside the City and Out" which is hanging in our fine art gallery. These are not finished yet obviously, but I think the drawings are just too cute!

I got jealous when I saw how much fun they were having so I made one of my own afterwards :)
