Youth ART Class by Sue Marrazzo

The following photos are from my The Nature of ART Class for youth at the Art Center School and Galleries. The art lesson was on pointillism. 
This is using DOTS to create a painting.
The students used acrylic paints, and used q-tips, paintbrushes, erasers, and marker lids to make dots. They found a landscape picture for inspiration....and the final paintings turned out Fabulous!

ART Class for the Brownies by Sue Marrazzo

Today, I taught an ART Class for one of the local Brownie Troops for their ART badge. The students were EXPERIMENTAL MIXED MEDIA ABSTRACT ARTISTS for the class. They painted, collaged, stamped, and more. 
It was a great class of Brownies, who followed directions to a T! 
Take a look at the wonderful ART Works that they created!

Youth Mixed Media Art Class by Sue Marrazzo

Last night in my Mixed Media Art Class for youth we accomplished three art projects. We were Experimental Mixed Media Artists. We experimented with new supplies, dripped, painted and more. Here are a few photos representing some of the work that we did in class. We did a large mixed media Floral Painting with a palette knife, a spray bottle, acrylics, ink, stamps, acrylic mediums and more. Also we worked in our mixed media ART journals and used acrylic paint, ink, stamps, alcohol, sponges, and more. 
The colors were bright and the results were AWESOME!

EXPERIMENTAL MIXED MEDIA - EN PLEIN AIR - BY ARTIST SUE MARRAZZO

HERE IS MY TAKE ON EXPERIMENTAL PLEIN AIR PAINTING.
EN PLEIN AIR, (FRENCH), IS AN EXPRESSION WHICH MEANS "IN THE OPEN AIR," AND IS PARTICULARLY USED TO DESCRIBE THE ACT OF PAINTING OUTDOORS. IT IS NOT JUST FOR LANDSCAPE ARTISTS. I HAVE DONE THIS KIND OF PAINTING OVER THE YEARS OFTEN. I CREATE ACRYLIC ABSTRACTS, MIXED MEDIA ART, COLLAGES, AND ENCAUSTIC PAINTINGS OUTDOORS. I LOVE THE WARMTH OF THE SUN, THE SOUND OF THE BIRDS, THE COMPANY OF MY DOG, THE SIGHT OF THE TEXTURES AND COLORS. THE BLUE SKY WAS MY INSPIRATION AS YOU CAN SEE IN THESE PHOTOS TODAY. 
WHAT A JOY TO PAINT EN PLEIN AIR! 








THESE ARE CLOSE-UPS ON A PAINTING THAT I AM CURRENTLY WORKING ON. I AM EXPERIMENTING WITH SOME NEW COLORS AND MIXING MY OWN. THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF THE CREATION OF A WORK OF ART.
