HSU Art Teacher Retreat 2012




HSU Art Teacher Retreat 2012, a set on Flickr.
These are photos of some the various artworks created by myself and other fellow art teachers this week at the Henderson State University Summer Intensive Art Teacher Retreat. I had such a good time! I have one mask and one pen and ink portrait in this set. My mask is the one that has bronze feathers on the top and back of the head. My pen and ink drawing is a portrait of my husband. I hope you enjoy browsing through these!

Printmaking Day 2

My morning class for the art retreat is pen and ink. I am doing a portrait of my husband. This is what I have so far.

Mask Making Day 2

These are images from a week long art teacher retreat at HSU that I have been attending this week. My afternoon class is mask making. I am reproducing a Haida mask from the northwest coast artists. The other is one I am designing on my own. These are just the beginnings. I will post more after class this afternoon.

All layers of color are now sewn together!

All that is left to do now is fill in the corners and make the shape more rectangular instead of circular.

I finally finished the 3rd layer of color...

...after many days of interruptions and distractions. I think it is coming along nicely. I hope to have the top pieced by the end of this weekend.

Dark and windy storm flew through today.


Just at the edge of the dark clouds you could see a piece of clear sunny sky.



Believe it or not, this was taken around 3 p.m.  Crazy storm made it dark in a matter of a few minutes.

Third layer of color done....

...now on to the fourth. Three down, three more to go.

Also, included pic of fourth color to come.

Second Circle/Layer of Color Complete

I had some time today to finish up the second layer of color. I think it's going well.
