Frequently Asked Questions
Featured Lesson Plans
Layer & Scratch
Explore inner emotions using multiple layers and materials. The artist, Jesse Reno, uses trial and error, along with intuition to guide his process. Using wax pastels, acrylics and other media such as markers, many layers of imagery are created on a canvas panel. A fettling knife or tool allows scratching through layers to reveal the white of the canvas underneath. Is it finished? Only the artist knows.
Muslin Masterpiece
Create a beautiful textile design using dye sticks and block printing.
Pastel Fresco Secco
"Secco" is the term used for applying color to dry plaster, the manner Da Vinci used in his famed "The Last Supper." Using Plaster of Paris, students create drawings then purposefully add stress fractures.
Reverse Pastel Painting
Where standard painting builds an image from the background forward, a reverse painting is created in a backward fashion — foreground first — with each phase applied so the background finishes the painting. A backing of metallic foil reflects light through the pastel in the same manner as gilding.
Mini Monets
This project uses pastels; a favored medium of Impressionist artists – drawn onto matte surface Shrink Film. The chalk of the pastels doesn't actually shrink, it simply condenses along with the film to form rich, intense areas of color.
