I used to teach quite a few art classes for all different ages, and I stopped a few years ago to take a break. I've had this one particular class in mind for some time though, so I was really excited when the opportunity came up to teach an Art and Design class for teens. I love working with this age group because they are highly creative and old enough to be able to take on challenging work.
This is such a fun class for me because I've been gathering examples from the design world--fashion, architecture, comics, video game design, etc. to illustrate art principles. Gives me a fresh perspective on things.
And the students' work is inspiring!
Here are some of the results from a negative space exercise I gave. Students start with a 6" black square, cut out shapes and flip them onto a white background.
This must be so exciting Robin....how creative this group are. I love this negative space exercise.

These are really great. It makes me want to run to the studio, get a piece of black paper and some scissors!
ReplyDeleteFabulous creativity! I love this exercise, your students really did well with it.
ReplyDeleteThey are lucky to have you but how nice for you to be able to be around all their energy.
ReplyDeleteVery exciting results! love them.
ReplyDeleteHow great to work with a group of creative people of whatever age - sometimes it seems as if one is all alone, and perhaps slightly mad to be thinking outside the box.Your colours cheered me up this morning.
