Our Art Days at the DMA

We began taking a monthly class at the Dallas Museum of Art this year (2010). There is usually a monthly theme in the galleries followed by a classroom time for some hands-on application.

Below are photos from our last visit, which was all about portraits.

Without looking at their paper,
they had to follow the lines & curves
of a modern bust sculpture.
They did a pretty good job, too!

JSS working on an ad campaign using
one of the pieces in a particular gallery.
Having just finished work on his
Collecting Belt Loop for scouts
(collected 10 Nerf weapons, bought
with his own money that he did not earn
from his parents...impressive, eh?),
he chose this painting with soldiers and
made his campaign about Nerf Weapons.

Waiting to share their work with the group,
which they ended up being too shy to do.

Above and Below are shots of them
working on their own portraits.

I would very much like to frame these
and hang them in the house.
I love them both...and their creators!
