Today’s lesson was about Surrealism, looking at how artists use symbols to express ideas and truths. The task was to choose an object, study it carefully, and emphasize its key characteristics in the drawing.Emma chose a rabbit and did a wonderful job observing it. She discovered several details that even I had not noticed before, despite drawing this rabbit many times. This kind of careful research is exactly the spirit of Surrealism we want!
Her idea was also impressive – she drew the rabbit bungee jumping in a storm to highlight its calm and “stress-relieved” nature. It was a very creative and thoughtful way to express the concept! -

Today’s lesson explored Cubism, focusing on observing and combining multiple viewpoints. We studied the idea of analytic cubism by drawing an object from different angles, then cutting and rearranging the drawings into one composition.Emma approached the task thoughtfully by drawing her llama teddy bear from three different angles, each in a different color. In the end, she chose to keep her favorite version and used the other two for cutting and assembling.
Surprisingly, Emma done this exercise in just one lesson! It was a great process of both observation and decision-making.

Today’s lesson focused on still life painting using gouache. This time, we limited the palette to three values – black, white, and gray – along with one color of Emma choice.The painting could be refined further, but she clearly understood the main idea of the exercise. And that is the most important part!

Today was Emma’s first time painting with oil. The subject was a still life of an apple.For a first attempt, she showed a very strong ability to control and mix colors. Not only did she paint the apple beautifully, but the composition, color choices, and values were all excellent – truly outstanding!
We will definitely try to use oil painting more often in the future. -

Today’s lesson explored Expressionism. We took inspiration from The Scream, focusing on expressing feelings of characters through their surroundings.Emma, as usual, listened very attentively and shared her thoughts during the lesson. She then applied this understanding to create a drawing of a girl with two foxes. The clothing details were drawn with great care and precision. The elements in the painting also clearly express the emotions of the character, showing her thoughtful approach to the lesson.
Splendid, Emma! Keep developing your ideas and expression!
