Welcome to this weeks results for our art challenge. Oh and yes … the theme was …Stars, Planets & Nebulas! We had some confusion at the beginning of the week as a few students thought that we were carrying on with the alphabet challenge. So we had some lovely pieces of artwork beginning with ‘B’. However, our alphabet challenge is monthly. So B will be in February. Please do feel free to post again when the B challenge is announced as we would love to add your artwork, really loved what we saw.
So today the results are all star related and are equally as fantastic! Our featured piece this week comes from student Dave Smedley and is called “Planets” which he created using spray acrylic on canvas board. You can see the full image at the bottom of the blog post.
All of the paintings below are absolutely superb, including Rachels very textured Moon and Shailaja’s Jupiter painting and Charlottes amazing canvas painting below too. We hope that all of our students who took part this week enjoyed this brilliant challenge and thank you to Maria Moon for the idea!
Stars planets and nebulas – took the opportunity to get a fresh canvas out this morning whilst the kids were painting their own thing and had a go at this. Acrylic and chalkboard paint on canvas. Charlotte DraperStars and planets challenge!! “Catching stars” Sarah HoganWatercolor and a lot of fun to work in the wet in wet technique. And masking fluid for the stars. Rose-Marie BiehligRachel FellowsI’ve had fun doing this weekends challenge. The background is a collage of different pictures from last year’s calendar, which luckily had a variety of different scenes from the solar system. I couldn’t resist a Doctor Who theme so I drew a tardis. Water colour pencils were used, so I first coloured in the hand drawn Tardis and used water to blend the colours into each other. Nina PhillipsRachel FellowsThis was a watercolour painting of the 13th full moon of 2020 from my rear garden between a Christmas Tree and trees in the nearby Rec. Norman TharbyA lovely theme this week and I have chosen to paint a spiral galaxy with its swirls and colours from my book on stars and planets, came in really useful! Pauline BurkeA late Weekend challenge. Starry night on a pebble Rachel PesterfieldStellar theme, brought very close to home. But then, it’s where all the wonder begins. Julie SmalleyAs planets have particular relations, they might have feelings too. Here it is – “Love” with motherly warmth. Colored pastels. Mila ZinzenBhawana sinha Here is my entry for the weekend art challenge. It is acrylic on board. It needs to be viewed in landscape. I enjoyed this challenge because you can paint what you like and no one can say it’s not right, it might be out there! Helen TurnerRecreation of Van Goh’s starry night in acrylic on canvas.
