Our Home Schooling Project.
General Comments.It is something very special to be able to have a part to play in the education of your grandchildren. In my case, art!Below you will find the work of four of my granddaughters working within the Homeschool environment. We started off with a collage of pictures brought together unto one canvas to test the creativity of their minds. We continued to study some famous artists, incorporating to learn how to set up a painting, composition, color-mixing and how to work with oils. Scrolling down, you will see a selection of paintings from each student starting with their first attempt in a collection of various expressions of their own, followed by, from the top down, their most recent work. Design and Print We temporarely moved on from oil painting to design, cutting templates and screen printing.
At the bottom of the page are some examples of painting behind perspex and personal designes printed out on t-shirts.
Currently we are back at painting on canvas. Please enlarge the page/picture with your browser/zoom (right-click Firefox) facility if so desired.
Isabelle's most recent painting on canvas.
Although not part of the home schooling activities, Isabelle looooves art! Born in 2006 and not afraid to try unconventional methods and techniques, that way developing herself rapidly.Isabelle is not producing much art work at the moment as regular academic school-work seems to absorb her output. However, she recently managed to paint the painting shown below, while she was visiting my studio.

Marieta's imaginative world.
Marieta, born in 1997 and made her first painting when she was twelve. She is a girl with a vivid imagination and determination which shows in her paintings. Her first collage painting starts off as a village square, she soon ventured out from blue squirrels to fire breathing dragons, spotty moose and scary reptiles. Over time she developed a flair for a spontaneous type of painting, combining that with her determent nature she could be doing very well into that direction.

Renee's colourful animals.
Renee, born in 1999, loves colors and manages to use them generally very effectively on her first painting. The bold cute lion and the colorful caterpillar are eye catching features. The lovely sleek lizard and the winged snail are not far behind.
Over time she developed an interest in realism which combines perfectly with her observant nature.

; Elena's under water fantasy world.
Elena, born in 2001 choose to express the under-water world for her very first painting. Being the youngest of the group at the age of nine, she does certainly not lag behind performance-wise.
Although her expressions of her very first collage painting are in a cartoon-style, she managed to get outside the general way of thinking and colored her fish in the most wonderful way. She enjoys painting with oils and has progressed rapidly, which shows clearly in her latest painting studies.
