Lesson 5 Goldfish

We painted goldfish today.  We start with the top view, then we will paint side view and front view in the subsequent lessons.  We enjoy our painting time together, it is so special. Thank you for sharing your students with me to realize joyousbrush painting fun.

Lesson 4 coloring

Look how our black and white paintings are transformed into colorful seascape or under the sea.  This is our abstract painting exploration.  We colored with total freedom and personal expression.

lesson 3 Angel Fish

Lesson 2 dolphins

7 decisive strokes completes the dolphin. Outline is an option.  Because it is so simple, it is very hard. 
We practiced on rice paper stripes before attempt the painting, but there is very little time, so even when your students are not yet ready, they courageously take up the challenge .  You may view their works on the hall way, Let them bless you with delightful conversations.

Lesson 1 fish

We attempt to paint fish with simple 1 swift definite stroke.  We then goes on decorating our stoke with details.  The demonstration seems very simplistic, but the discipline in attaining that simplicity takes drilling.

lesson 12 review and free brush paint

Dear Joyousbrush Club supporters

We have joyously finished our 12 weeks of brush painting fun.  I want to thank you for your support.  The next school year we will work on fish and sea creatures with their habitat.  I will keep you posted after your restful summer.

I hope you enjoy your student's portolio.  We move from one bird to the next.  Each painting is the 1st experience with your student.  If we repeat the subject they will feel much more comfortable,  but to cover the scope and give them a abandoned courage to take on each painting according to my demonstration is to push a breakthrough in their fear of failure and ignite that courage to try new things.   

Ranges of emotion emerged when they paint.  satisfaction amongst disappointment.  Elation amonst trepidation.  But they are actively engaged with themselves and involved in their best effort.  I am totally delighted in walking with them through this growing process.  

Please view http://joyousbrushclubatkincaid.blogspot.com/ to see all that we have covered in these 12 weeks in Joyousbrush Club.  I hope to see your student and may be their friends after summer.

Have a great summer
