DNAW West Update: November 20, 2010

Class is humming along swimmingly, and though we had a slight dip in our attendance this week, we trudged on ahead! Let me remind and encourage both parents and students that you really miss a lot when you miss a day of class. We recognize that our young artist are talented in many areas and thus Saturdays can be a real tug & pull for their presence in many different activities, but please know that when you miss class, you miss the training and experiences that are often difficult to make up. Art training is very special and very intense, do your best to not miss a moment! Talk to your classmates and see what you missed.

DNAW West continues to work on their sculptures, some pieces are really taking on a unique personality and will show to be some great works when complete. Artist Instructor Mr. Wiley Mc Dowell gave some great training on drawing techniques and practices that are really helping the young artists improve upon their personal drawing talents. I would like to especially point out young artist Robert C.; I have seen his drawing and cartooning take dramatic leaps since he has been working with master artist McDowell. If you compare Robert's earlier art images with where he is now...WOW! you can see a big change. Ask to see his sketchbook...
