Art Start students started this project by browsing through
reproductions of over 150 paintings representing a wide range
of styles and historical periods. Each person chose a painting to
copy with pencil on sketching paper. When the sketches were
done, we traced the images onto thick water color paper with
permanent marker using light boxes. Finally, the images were
painted with watercolors. (see Granger, on right) By copying
master paintings, students learned how to draw subject matter
they might not attempt otherwise, and they gained exposure to a
variety of artists. Also, they learned how to mix colors to match
what they saw in the paintings. Great job, artists!
