Matting artwork

In this class the kids learned to mat their own artwork. We talked about the math of how to figure out how big your mat board needs to be. We discussed how large a mat is needed to best enhance the painting, and what colors would make the painting look best.

Rowan is holding an almost-finished painting done on masa paper. (Done in the last two classes) She just has to finish the brushes.

T.B. is holding a mat that she is embellishing with designs in colored pencil.

















Emily is holding her white with black core mat for the Steve-Blackburn style painting she did of butterflies. (Done in the last two weeks of class, along with a masa paper painting). This is going to be part of her 4-H exhibit in the Butler County 4-H Fair. Good luck, Emily!
