SPOTLIGHT ON NATHAN  GALITZ

8/29/2023

0 Comments

 
Nathan began taking Art Lessons at the Art of Excellence Studio as an eighth grader in 2021. 
Although he always liked Art and made sketches, he felt unsure about what he could learn to create.
​After learning the basics of sighting, contour drawing and measuring, in Nathan's words " drawing became easy."
Nathan says "I enjoyed doing my first graphite portrait because it was something I never thought I could do. I also enjoyed using pastels for the first time because they blend so well  and require no drying time."

Nicely done, Nathan!

"Monarch", watercolor Dominic Barbarani
Dominic ( who is 10 yrs old )  began taking Art Lessons at the Art of Excellence Studio almost 2 years ago. 
 
In his own words: "I learned contour drawing which helped me draw things more accurately.  I also learned to check proportions while drawing.  In watercolor, I learned to layer paints to create different shades and effects. I like it!"
His watercolor painting of the Monarch butterfly required many layers, and yet it has a very "light" quality to it.

Please like and comment to show our young artist his work is recognized.

"Cherries"
Beginning student and semi-retired Dentist, Bob Sorin, came to The Art of Excellence Studio in May when he decided to pursue his passion for artistic expression.  Although he did not believe that he could create something that looked "real", he was happily surprised by the results he achieved. Bob is working on another still life, and already has plans to work on a special project that will contain an element of optical illusion.  
I love it when students think outside the box!
This is an excellent beginning.
