Week 3 of Elaine Conneely's Art Classes

What an amazing third week! Some absolutely beautiful work was started and completed.
I myself finished a commission which looks okay I think. Here are a few images to illustrate what we did this week as a group. The quote of the week is, "A comfort zone is a beautiful place but nothing ever grows there."

Week Two of the Art Classes! Lots of great work was started and completed. I love the enthusiasm and the focus of my students. Its an honour and a privilege  to watch them process ideas and then create! The quote of the week is: "The soul that sees beauty may sometimes walk alone."van Goethe

Here we are back again! Another term of classes! I have spent the summer working on commissions  and have been busy with them for sure. Here are some images of my work and the student's first week's work. I also introduced them to an organisation called Force Blue. I gave them each the team's symbol of the Blue Marble which represents our precious planet Earth. Force Blue are a group of Special Operations divers that repair, restore and conserve coral reefs in the Caribbean. "Art , undeniably, is conducive to happiness."
