Some amazing wild life paintings anyone? The use of bold brush strokes and unexpected color is phenomenal. Great work!

“I'm just a man, not a hero. just a boy, who wants to sing this song.” ― Gerard Way

This week's feature is sent to us from Parker High School - Janesville, WI, and showcases the talents of 11th-grader Mia Vittone.

The work is oil on canvas, and art teacher Mr. Sam Van Galder says the students were tasked to create neon portraits. Students paint a portrait of their choice using oil paint and a monochromatic color scheme to make the portrait feel like it is being lit by a non-light source. Mia chose to paint her favorite lead singer-- Gerard Way from the band My Chemical Romance.

Nice work, Mia!

Painting class: Watercolor landscapes. The goal with these was to be really loose and let the water do it’s thing. Tough to do, but these students controlled the medium well.

Watercolor portraits. The goal was to build up contrast through lots of light layers and to embrace the occasional watercolor blowout.

Painting class: watercolor storefronts

Students looked at artist Phil Maltz who walks the streets of London England and captures building and store fronts from around the city. They then created their own storefront from their imagination.
