le p'tit club d'art des grands: Painting from Observation:Still life and painting from a photography

aRTcLUB," le petit club pour les Grands " is a very very small club for happy children who spend some time during their school week making something fun,ugly or beautiful with their Imagination,their Hands and their Heart !
We do quite a lot of painting because this is something that we don't really do at home...too messy ! And we do a lot of painting because it develops our skills to Watch what is around us,then Compare the colours we see with the colours we have on our palette..then we do a little bit of " Cooking"....a little bit of blue with a pinch of red...then mix and mix and mix...choose the Texture we want and Apply with thick layers of paint or maybe very thin layers with plenty of water.....
NO JOB IS BAD ! WE ALL PROGRESS EVEN IF THE RESULT IS NOT ALWAYS WHAT WE PLANED !
We just DISCOVER and DISCOVER !!
And as we are surrounded by great museums and exhibitions,we do learn who is making what and How !

What Parents say about the Club

" un grand grand merci à Catherine pour ce club. Mes enfants ont adoré. Pour ma fille,

Margot , ce club le mercredi après-midi était le rayon de soleil de la semaine. Les tours de garde étaient aussi un vrai plaisir! Mille mercis!"

Catherine -- Marielle has loved art these past 2 years and will really miss you next year. You have done so much with them this year with the mixing of colours and the shading and the still lifes & portraits - which has helped her out so much technically. And then the exposure to the different mediums which has helped her explore all the options available out there in the art world!

Ca a ete un plaisir de travailler avec toi ces dernieres annees et de constater les progres incroyables des enfants, surtout cette annee. Poppy a enormement aime son club d'art et je sais que tu vas beaucoup lui manquer. J'ai tout particulierement apprecie la facon dont tu l'as toujours doucement poussee pour qu'elle sorte de ses petites bandes dessinees et agrandisse ses interets et ses competences. J'admire ta patience et ton devouement.
