Art potpourri

Since somewhat less than half of our program students (December, 2021) are currently able to come on campus due to continuing COVID-19 protocols, we primarily rely on the ability of most students to take photos or to scan their artwork and send it in. Most photos arrive as phone picture images, although a few arrive […]

How our faces have changed!

The current project was to draw a self portrait with big eyes, a more abstract concept. The challenge was to still make the finished picture evoke the artist. […]

Trees and More!

When On Track started back in session after the brief Summer break, we began a more complex landscape project where one element was added each week in class. It began with a […]

And Now for a Little Poetry

As much as we love to share our On Track students’ artwork, they have many other talents. One of those is written creativity, and we have been exploring poetry recently. Most people think they cannot write poetry, so never try to develop that outlet for expressing their emotions and thoughts. However, in reality, writing poetry […]

Return to Todos Santos!

First Trip Since COVID!

On June 9th, some of us were finally able to get back together in person at The Veranda shopping center in Concord, California. We did err on the side of caution by all staying masked, but nevertheless, students and staff alike were almost giddy with the joy of seeing each other in real life again.
