A classroom window and a museum window. Since so many of the students had drawn cats, dogs, and other animals in their sketches of what they'd like in their homes and neighborhoods, I thought it would be fun to try to incorporate a cat and a dog in each window scene, in some cases other animals like birds, in different creative ways...for example, looking at each other in a museum gallery in the form of statues, busts, and a famous clock at the Hermitage Museum. The classroom scene also includes Dasha's drawing of a dancer.I find photoshop very helpful in working out color schemes...at our 4th workshop, I had students color in sketches for remaining windows I hadn't colored yet. They apparently told Nastya that they wish they could have such bright colors in their own homes, as they started experimenting with bold interior color schemes.
In regards to the last sentence... that's really cool that you are able to give the kids a chance to experiment with such bright color schemes, something they aren't able to do at home. you may be planting a seed in the mind of Russia's next great artist, architect, or interior designer. How exciting is that!?!
