Artist Study- Joseph Mallord William Turner

We finished up our study of J.M.W. Turner today. I'd like to do some applied art next week based on this study though. I'm still thinking on it and need to see what supplies we have on hand.

Here are the pieces we studied:


  1.  Boats in a Gale
  2.  Fishermen at Sea
  3.  Fifth Plague of Egypt
  4. Decline of Carthaginian Empire
 5. Rome from the Vatican
6. Boys Catching Crabs
7. The Grand Canal, Venice
And here's her completed notebook page:

**Note: you can download similar notebook pages for FREE from my downloads page.


Who's next for artist study?? I'm not quite decided yet. I have a few that I've been considering, I just need to pick one!

Nope

Posted by PeakmoreAcademy
Not covering DaVinci next as we covered him in our TOG history already. We'll revisit him again, I know, next time we go through TOG2.

I'm considering Titian (AO2006-2007T3) or Vermeer(AO2005-2006T2), or possibly Copley and Stuart (AO2002-2003 T1.) I'm leaning towards the latter to bring us with a tie-in to our history (not something I usually do, just sometimes.)

I need to buy another color cartridge and get some prints made up! I've always had suitable results from printing at home. And it saves me from having to go out and get stuff printed which might not ever get done! LOL

We are studying Stuart now and I love Copley.

question about your notebook page

Posted by Rhonda
I was looking at your sample page and notice that you use the Uncle Josh's Outline Map for the map of Europe. How were you able to get that onto a document? I have the CD, but have not been able to figure that out.

I hope you can help me.

New artist to me

Posted by Penney Douglas
I had never heard of Joseph Mallard William Turner (whew, what a name!) until the other day when I saw some pictures of his works on NotebookingPages.com. Today I printed out Rome from the Vatican and the one about the Fifth Plague of Egypt. I'm thinking we'll study J M W Turner and learn about him now that I've printed out 2 of his works. I'm planning to show my kids the study and the cool watercolors that you and your daughter did. Great job!

Love,
Penney
