INSPIRED BY INDIAN PAINTINGS, December 8, 2016

The Indian theme of this class was inspired by the Rama Epic exhibition at the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco., Students heard a lecture about how art was created during the Mughal and Rajput kingdoms in ancient times. They then selected a postcard image of an Indian Court painting to reproduce or to interpret.

A WINTER VIEW, December 1, 2016

Students viewed a demonstration of how to tone colors to create a wintry palette (by mixing in a small amount of the opposite colors).  They then painted a view from the window of the studio.

The following examples are not complete because the teacher did not have a chance to take a photo of each person's work.
