Catching Up & Some Art From Claudine Hellmuth's Online Class

I'm way behind but I wanted to post some of the art I did for Claudine Hellmuth's online composition class back in August. I really enjoyed her class and she is a wonderful teacher, very easy to talk with. She views each comment, art piece and gives her thoughts and ideas.

"Spring Is Here"

"You and Me"

"On the Alert for Spring"

"Spring Beauty"

"Awful Tired of Keeping Still"

"Sundry Persons"

My sis is doing better, I'm settling in at my new job and now I'm doing some Autumn cleaning, getting back to routine again. It's starting to be a beautiful Autumn in my area. Happy Autumn!

Claudine Hellmuth's Online Composition Class Week 1

Last week I started Claudine Hellmuth's online composition class at Big Picture Class. It's my first online class and I am enjoying it very much. Claudine shares techniques for creating better composition in collage and art work. Her class includes printable transcripts, audio/video lessons, many wonderful images to download to experiment with and a message board to talk with her and the other participants. It's so fun to see all the other collages. Already I am looking at my art differently. I'm going back and looking at older pieces to see ways they could have been better too.

With starting my new job it's taking me a bit longer but I finally finished my "asymmetrical" collage homework for her class. I titled it "Tomato Preserves" - the photo of the lady is Claudine's but I had some images of tomatoes, canning jars, inventory sheet that worked well. I've been wanting to make a personal family recipe book so this may very well be the start of it or the cover.
