9th lesson!
Today, Quyen was assigned a black and white still-life drawing of an apple.
She felt a bit unsure at first, but she worked through it with patience. The final result turned out very nice! Despite the initial confusion, she managed to capture the form and shading quite well.
She also took the initiative to draw a fish and shaded it with pencil. This is very surprising! The fish looks very lively and full of character.
Keep exploring and pushing your skills, Quyen! -

8th lesson!
Today’s lesson explored Expressionism. The class took inspiration from Edvard Munch’s The Scream, focusing on expressing feelings of characters through their surroundings.
Quyen chose to draw her character with friends outdoors, under a bright sky filled with colorful sunlight. She also used glitter, which made the painting feel even more vibrant and joyful, as we intended!
She was also very cooperative with the class. All in all, great job, Quyen! Keep exploring your creativity! -

7th lesson!
Today, Quyen revisited her color wheel exercise once again. She added another wheel this time and had more time to carefully refine her work. The extra attention really shows in the result.
Great lesson, Quyen! Keep up your enthusiasm! -

6th lesson
Today’s lesson explored Fauvism and the expressive use of color of Henri Matisse. The class began with a small exercise, creating a color chart where each color represented a different emotion. Then we used this palette as inspiration for the main painting in Matisse’s style.
Quyen did very well in the first exercise. In the main painting, she finished her work quickly. However, she still tended to choose colors based on what she naturally sees rather than selecting them with a specific intention, which was the main focus of the lesson. This can be a great lesson for her to revisit in the future.

5th lesson!
Today’s lesson explored Post-Impressionism and the works of Van Gogh. After learning about the movement and Van Gogh’s painting style, the class created their own artworks using brushstrokes inspired by the artist.
Quyen chose to draw a sky with colorful clouds. Although the brushstrokes doesn’t resemble Van Gogh’s style yet, her painting is truly interesting and vibrant. It feels like sunlight shining through the clouds!
She also added small drawings of the moon and sun inspired by Van Gogh’s paintings, and even completed an additional color wheel exercise. A very productive class!
