Austin, Your art is fantabulous! This landscape is so colorful and thoughtful. I love the use of color in the sky and grass. Very original! Keep up the great work.

FIRST GRADE students enjoyed their art time outside on our beautiful campus grounds (en plein air). They were asked to draw one special tree, and "not a broccoli." Afterward, students were expected to create their own greens and browns vs. taking the easy route and plopping their brushes into the ready-made paint! The works were filmed in progress during our plein air sessions and also while students were painting indoors. These are complicated works that required observing nature in a three-dimensional environment and visually translating what students observed into a two-dimensional representation! The e-portfolios while in progress are available on my Twitter account @RuthKeefer and also on YouTube (Ruth Keefer art). These delightful landscapes from our own campus would make memorable note cards and/or gifts for your friends and family. Thank you for supporting ParishArts! I would love to take all of these works home with me!
Wow. You found such pretty leaves in such interesting shapes. There are so many mediums you can use to make art. Bet there were some nice pods and nuts around, too!

I love Austin's little "leaf man"! He says the leaf in the upper left corner is the "sun". Acorns make his eyes and a bead makes his mouth. Enjoy!
