THE DANCING TREES<br />
Edward Foy, Senior<br />
igh school students in Ms. Mertz-<br />
Witczak’s Drawing and Painting<br />
class learned how to describe design<br />
concepts in works of art which encouraged<br />
<strong>the</strong>m to examine how feelings,<br />
moods, and ideas are communicated<br />
through art. One technique was learning<br />
how to play with monochromatic<br />
colors on <strong>the</strong> color wheel and to include<br />
neutral colors (black and white) as part<br />
of <strong>the</strong>ir drawings. They were instructed<br />
to pick a color of <strong>the</strong>ir choice on <strong>the</strong><br />
color wheel and <strong>the</strong>n add white to make<br />
a tint or black to create shades. The<br />
results of <strong>the</strong>ir acrylic paintings were<br />
impressive, and all had a calm, soothing<br />
effect. Here are some examples of<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir work.<br />
