ARTCLUBOPA1's Comments (383)

Orange Preparation Academy is showing this huge banner again by hanging it on ore stage for Black History Month and in the base Art Gallery for Women's History Month. Good job art Club 2015.

The ARTCLUBOPA is very active. As a matter of fact it is my best time of the week. We get to make decisions that the rest of the world sees about our school. We LOVE it. Look at our DR. KING. He will always endure. For 6 years he has graced the stage on his national appointed day because of our club. This year he will not have that spotlight. We are sad but you can see him in OPA's Lobby and always on the internet at Artsonia.

This is the best lesson ever taught in Orange. What a show...

Akiem , this is going to be an excellent painting. See you in the Art Club!

Well Done!

I like your picture it looks just like the real one, very realistic. From, Anthony

I saw this huge painting in the basement Gallery and will always remember it.

WOW!

This one is hanging in OUR Lobby. How proud we are to have worked on it. Thank you Teacher...

This is the most inspirational work of art I have seen in Orange Art yet. This teacher knows how to get the interest and keep it forever. The Supervisor should take note and push this teacher and her methods. True inspiration!!!

I also like the scratchboard you created before this work. You are our New Artist of the Year!!!

Good job!!!

I like your style!!!

Good Work!!!

Akiem, this is a very well done acrylic painting by you. I am sorry it could not be listed under your name, Better lucl next year.

You are still the GREATEST! Dr. Young

This image is very popular around our Community. Good Job Students.

Art Rules!!!

I had a chance to work on this, wow!

WOW!

I love what I see...Red, White and Blue.

This is delightful! Well done Students!

You rock Marco!

Mrs. Bautista and Mrs. Mayson rocked this for Ms. Foster! Good job ladies!

This was a success!

I think I like this one!

I like the Saturn best in this universe!

Wow, all three mobiles look great!

This looks like a Solar System in this black light just too many planets.

I like this view!

I worked on the two little blue ones. Sponge painting is fun.

I can see the planet I worked on. It was orange.

This was a very calming event. The students were pleased and excited to be able just to be creative. They all enjoyed it...

I saw this being created in the cafeteria...WOW. Good Job

This is the most creative thing I have seen in the Art Shows. Good Job OMS!

You did a great job in capturing this work at different angles. It opens up digital photography to a different level.

Your study of this artist is perfect and the system loves it. I like how you have worked the colors to make it a stage presentation.

The best in the gallery!

The roses stand out as a plus to our system.

This shows the real energy of our students...

Thanks for a World Class program. I love what I see!!!

I saw this at the mall and it was more impressive than the dancers were.

This is a great collection and it tells the story of what our children are most concern with. This is a very mature set of subjects they are dealing with.

This takes my breath away!!!

This is my favorite view of this man, President Obama, 2009.

Red, white and blue. Could it have been better.

How was this done?

This is the most creative lesson I have seen results of in Orange.

HOLA!

This is about the best wall exhibit I have ever seen and to think it belongs to Orange Middle's art classes. Good job students...You have my support.

I like us now!

To me this is the best painting in the gallery next to Marian Anderson and Hattie McDaniels.

I painted on the first one!!! I like the angles the teacher took, they make it look very important. The Artist we studied must be very proud...

I wish I was in Art again!

I watched this grow in size and beauty. Makes me proud to be at OMS.

This is the best group project so far...

This is power in many ways. Good job teacher!

A PAINTER OF SUPERIOR QUALITY.

Henry O. was the first African American Fine Arts Painter to gain International fame...

I know I like this wall best in the art show. All of the many different colors and styles of still lifes are exhibited. Excellent OMS!

This is a great painting done in the style of the American Graphic Artist, Shepard Fairey.

What a good way to study modern history!

I really like what I see!!!

I love this use of Technology.

Drawing is a skill all of your art students must have. These were excellent examples.

I really enjoyed this wall of beautiful 'WaterColor' paintings and the explinations over them. Wet on wet is an apparent good technique but very difficult to do especially if the aim is to understand color. Very clean, Great, Great!

President Barack H. Obama, Hola!

I like that you have been able to adapt this technique to so many different media.

Computer Tech is my best form of art. I learned how to start work on Studio Works with a digital camera, wow! iPod Images

The yellow flower stands out best. Good job!

I think I like this wall best in the art show. Good job students!

Teacher, this is a wonderful view of this wall!

Happy New Years / 2009!

I like the way this was started. Stage one is very interesting in that it combines computer technology, technology, a digital camera, canvas, acrylic paints, hot glue and an iron. I can't forget the talented students and their hours of time.

Sharika, Alaxendra, Katty, Kyle and Micaela all of you did well on this project and it has been all over the world by now with your names on it. Good Job!

I recieved this as a gift from my teacher on a star and I love it and so does my family.

This is about the most outstanding work we have done only second to Martin Luther King...

This is at the Board of Education and I saw it...Good Job Mrs. Mayson

I like working one these large projects and this one was a complete success.

This was a complete joy to create!

I should have been a part of this team of young artist at the Middle School!

I can't wait to see this one!!!

We are not walking on the wild side anymore...

Don't forget to come see this unvailed on Dec. 3, 08 at 6:00pm in the Board of Ed.

I would like to work on the next great project, How do I sign up...

I can't wait to see this unvailed!

This tells the best story...

We are working on it now and it is great!

To Mayor Hawkins, This is our moment!

I can almost say I know President Obama and that is a great feeling when I see the results of this very great work.

Was this painted from nature?

This says a lot about our school. Perfect!

I am glade I had a part in painting this mural. WOW!

Seeing this makes me want to return to the Middle School Art program. Good Work!

I like the way this was started. What do you call it?

What a great way to remember this great historical happening. I am sure our students will remember it forever. Good Job!

This is my pick as best scratch-board of the gallery. Good Job ARTCLUB38.

I see digital photography is live and well in Orange Middle School.

This is the beat plant still-life I have seen in a long while. Good job Luis.

This is my kind of art. Good job!

Is this a cabbage or what?

Nature is beautiful.

What a beautiful natural color.

Beautiful work. Took my breath away...

This is just about the best creative composition I have seen. Good Job!!!

Yellow is my favorite color.

Aww, how come we never did the digital photos?

This was a good choice for subject matter.

Color from nature...

Digital photography is pure art straight from the camera. I just love the color and the composition.

I would like to try this now that I am in the 8th grade.

Wow!

I like the angles that you have achieved and the colors seem to enhance the composition.

Wow, is this a landscape?

The lines and shapes are outstanding in this composition.

WOW!

Hola! Hola!

Wow!

Hola!

WOW!

Hola!

WOW!

Of the 70 student painting in acrylic, this is the best next to mine.

You brought these daisies to life...

I like this bunch of daisies.

The daisy is my flower too!

Nature is beautiful...

Blue glass.

Wow! Are these real? Good photo.

Turquoise is my favorite blue...

This flower hits all of the artistic points perfectly: elements, color, design, composition and technology.

What color will the flowers be, Yellow or pink?

Green is in!

This is the way those fall red berries start off. Look close!

This is the best green I have seen...

I like browns and it photographs well...

I never thought eggs could be a good subject for digital art, but I do, do like it...

This blue is more my taste...

NICE! ... neighbor

Magnolia's are my favorite flower. This looks like a big one.

This is the best view of Orange Middle School I have ever seen. Good Work Dr. Kronin!

This is the best portrait drawing in the Gallery...

This painting is a fixture in our school, WOW! see it in the lobby.

What a cute corner of the school, it is always in tact and students always know where they are "The Visual Arts Community".

What a cute corner of the school, it is always in tact and students always know where they arts "Visual Arts Community".

Composition is everything.

Your study of color and color and design was well worth it. Good Job!

I like this montage. Can you make detailed shots?

I like how you have used white to tone down the green and orange. It is a pleasing combination and perfect for this Magnolia Flower.

White is in this year!

Wow! this a very interesting piece of art work, nice job!

I did like the masks and nameplates. Good Job!

Your world looks like a fun one and thanks for letting me peek.

Thanks for letting me into your world. It is a good place to be. Thanks Dr. Kronin and Mr. Harris. This is a super teacher!

Spring has sprung!!!

Let us see more of this...

I like how you make them look at themselves because the picture is very good.

This was a beautiful exhibit. I love to see their well controlled drawings. Good job teacher.

This is really nice, it looks so real.

I like this drawing...

I liked this lesson in copper, wire, glue and acrylic and oil paint.

I'm catching my dream, all three of them...

Wow, how did you stage this?

This color drawing has all of the kinds of touches that I like. Good job.

She is so pretty in this picture. Good Job!

This looks like the real thing. This is the best picture on Artsonia.

Nice drawing you can draw mad good...

The person who took this picture can take pictures.

This is the best view of Orange I have seen in a long time. It is very atmospheric.

I hope we get to see this in our All City Exhibit on March 6, 2008 at 7:00 at OMS.

Colors in nature are always the best.

This was a scene captured through the front glass doors at the Board of Education on Jan. 9th, 2008 at 7:30am while hanging Orange Middle School's Annual Art Exhibit. It was the morning of the formal opening of 150 students works and murals. The weather had been cold but somehow it warmed up and produced this beautiful sunrise. What a nice omen.

This is amazing!!!

I LOVE this. it is beautiful

This looks like real stone.

This is a bright fall day.

She was a brave woman...

I think I now know why the caged bird sings... What a great book!

Jessie is my modern day Black hero.

American Black Artist and the best of his time. This is a good drawing!

I like her eyes...

This looks like Jessie...

Skin tone is always difficult but you have made it seem easy, especially black skin for children to focus on. Good job!

This mask is very real. How did you get the glaze to look like this. Good job gang...

This class was fun to do because I like clay.

I like this one best. Stephanie

Wow! Powerful.

This is your 4th season with this program, well done nurse.

You are so creative in you ability to show silhouettes of historical characters and have the audience understand them. Good job!

WOW!

This mask makes the dream come alive and I like the eyes and tear.

The angle this mask was photographed makes it look very real. Good Job!

This one is perfect. Good Job ARTCLUB38.

I like copper tooling.

How did you get this finish on this copper? The aging is very good.

This looks like a mask from the West Coast of Africa. Good Job!

This is a lady of our time period and I know because of her hair do. I like this copper.

This is my kind of composition. Good Job!

There has only been one still life that ever looked better then yours and that belongs to me. Your path to greatness is almost at its end. Keep making amazing artwork. Good!

I like this giant Dr. Martin from all angles.

What a wonderful exhibition, you did us proud.

The subject of the school is the best in the show. It shows, classical architecture, painting and drawing skills, and a gift of imagination. I like the painting technique also. Good Job 8th graders.

Who is this dude ARTCLUB?

This Dr. Martin should have been on the show at the Middle School. I expected to see it. Beautiful job ARTCLUB38...

This closeup is just great. I love the oranges, it makes the people just stand out. Good job ARTCLUB38.

I also have a dream...It works!

I love the collage, montage effect you were able to create in this mural. It gives it a dimension that few are able to achieve. When you see it again look at the little treasures that students see but forget. This is art and pure Social Commentary.

Can I have a string of beads? You make my day.

I saw this and it is so big. How did you manage it in that tiny room? How can I join your club After School, any special obligations?

Our exhibit is a winner!!!

This is great closeup, the oranges just pop and the people are outstanding.

This Dr. King is S U P E R I O R!!! I KNOW IT IT 8" x 7" and painted to scale by our ARTCLUB. Good Job group.

This is the best example of student's work I have seen of Dr. King in our school. Good work young artist.

Student's at OMS in a rush to get educated and not afraid to show it. Come on over to the Board of Education and check us out in acrylic paintings, drawings, copper, clay and papier mache.!!!

Drawing what is in front of you is not an easy thing. I learn so much from this strict discipline, it was a great experience.

This was the Best!

I like this Bison's style...

I saw this, what an excellent show, Thank Mrs. M...!!!

How many colors can we be? You have shown us that the world is definitely tri-colored. GOOD JOB!

I saw this Martin Tribute, what a powerful idea these children are working on. Keep up the classes Art Teacher!!!

Ms. K's class is a winner. These drawings are a winner...

This one is hot, hot. I saw it in the class room. I also saw it printed on-tile by Artsonia. Good job!

This is masterful...

This is such a wonderful drawing! You showed a lot of details and it almost looks like it's real!!!!

This picutre is so pretty you really showed how much effort and details you put in it! I'm not a really good artist but this is amazing!

This is quite a drawing. How long did it take and what does it say?

Oh, I saw this in the basement gallery and it looks like a League of Nations. Good work...

This is outstanding!!!

Your roof tops are real good!

Those daisies are very real because you did such a god job.

You are a wonderful young artist and you have a beautiful handwriting.

You did a very good job!!!

I love your art. You have a way of showing your feelings and it is good!!

Go To The Mountaintop!!!

Orange is my favorite color too.

This is my kind of mask.

The poured mask is the best kind of ceramic mask. It is a very messy technique but I loved every minute of the work.

Who is this? She is beautiful...

I like this garden, it's eternal.

Dear Club, This is an excellent tribute to our students in Orange. Thanks for your contributing in showing the world.

The tulip in the front is from the Middle School because I saw the guy making it. He made 10. He made a large box first, folded it back , glued it to secure it , spray painted it yellow, doweled it and stood it up. It took a week. Wow!

The tulip in the front is from the Middle School because the guy making it. He made 10.

I DO SEE ALL OF THE MAJOR COLOR SCHEMES. GOOD JOB SCHOOLS.

Hola!

This view shows the magnitude and scale of this project. It lightens up the stair way. Good idea.

This was a well thought out project and I can see my own contribution, a hot pink tissue mum on a long stem. I enjoyed this craft.

WOW!

I participated in this great project. I made the 9 origami tulips in yellow from the Middle School in our Art Club after school.. It was fun.

HOLA!

I don't know if we are better at drawing ot painting. I just know our subject matter is hot.

See you soon!

I like my school and this was a pleasure to work on.

This is the most elegant drawing in our collection. Good Work!

This drawing is very unlike my own. He is very heavy on the charcoal and it gives the drawing a whole new look of power. Good job Fristo.

This is a beautiful mural. I like how it has developed. Good job Art Club.

Cool!

This fez hits the spot.

Of the portraits in our mural, this is the only one we could not identify. What a great drawing and painting.

THE CORNFLOWER IS MY FAVORITE OF THE FLOWERS FINISHED SO FAR.

I know this is the first kitten drawn. I can see him. Your charcoal work is very good.

To think, this is a jockey that made the country sit up and look, wow!

One more hero for the cause. Good drawing.

Justice Marshall is a credit to the world.

Dr. Bunch is a very important hero to the world. In diplomacy, their was non other to equal his smarts and he was a credit to his race. Let us never forget him.

Jessie Owens is my hero also. That guy could run, he outran Hitler.

I thought this young artist did very well and I will look forward to his other recreations. Good job! I know he used charcoal and the drawings are 8X10.

What a great way to learn the drawing mechanics of charcoal when we used photographs to understand shape, form and line to form a portrait. We also drew upside down to understand pure line. Each Club member chose a character in one book in Black History.

I think this rubbing is very natural. GOOD JOB!

This looks like a bird's nest...What a delight!

Is this a Finch or a Robin, whatever, I like it.

I like the hint of shading in this face. I will try this in my on drawings of my self. I hope it is colored pencil or pastel.

I like how this fern looks in a painting because it was very difficult to work with and it took a long time to finish to my satisfaction. Art Club is fun but hard.

I like this composition and the jewels just add another dimension.

This is a good view.

Birds are my favorites even though I don't know what this one is.

I like this digital version. The colors are very intense.

The colors here are very strong and I like the digital version also.

I like the way you used light and dark points. I guess the lessons on value in shading made sense. I can see all the curves in his face and the features look good too.

This portrait sequence on the Orange Peel's Mural painting is outstanding. I only hope it does not end up in a closet and if so can I have mine...

Perfect!

This was the most dynamic exhibit in the entire Gallery and I am happy I was a part of "Art of Our Popular Culture".

What a pleasure to draw this Kitty. I think it looks like a ball of yarn. Oh, it's done in charcoal on white paper.

This banner is about 7feet wide. It was made for parades to represent our school. I have not seen in in a parade yet but I helped make it and know it is somewhere in the town. If we need it I can make another. It was fun to see it take shape.

This must have been a good lesson because the results are good. Stippling, pointillism, is a satisfying technique. Good Job!.

I loved this technique of rubbing various wax crayons onto a paper covered woodcut. What a nice even tone we were able to achieve.

I like your use of pure color. The basket still-life was very successful. Good Job!

Roses are my second favorite flower.

Your colors are very transparent aand clearly defined. Do me a favor and try it again. Good job!

I could do this!

This test drawing has real personality. Good job!

Dedicated to Mrs Rosa Parks...

So you can draw real people. I like this drawing and the coloring is good too!

This is a way-out drawing Vladimir. Wow!

What is this? Maybe it is made of metal or painted in copper. I like it I think, but I would like to see it...

Jameel, is this you? Is this where your portrait ended up.

Hola!

This was a work where you used all colors available to you. Good Job! Are these the Peels?

This is our natural blond dude! She is a Peel!

In the painting, this dog was called, the guy in the yellow raincoat.

I know who this is, well done Bro.

This painting does pop of the page, what fun this was to create.

This was the best project to work on. We worked during class, after class and at Art Club. What fun to make and cut and link each piece. It took forever and about 40 students did it. We could not understand why until it was all put together.

From what I could see, this was a great little painting. Good Job.

Your painting, or self portrait is well painted. I like the movement of the light browns on the face. It gives it a very real quality and depth that few can achieve. Good Work Keevon.

Vaughn, this is a very good color sketch for the mural.

This portrait really jumped of of the page into 3D. I like the expression you captured. Your color mixing was also successful.

Fristo, your work is outstanding and I know you will do well in the High School.

I would love to see this again in our Gallery. It is so delicate.

You use crayons very well for your age. The expression is well done and the color blends are perfect.

I love copper tooling.

Copper is just about my favorite media. This is an old and treasured technique that the teacher says comes down from the Egyptian Empires, 5000 years ago. Most Old World Cultures used it, it was lasting and told a unique story. I also tries it in our Art Center. It takes a long time to finish and is just about indestructible. Most of the pieces we had to select from were recycled. We got an old world finish on it with heat or chemicals, what a smell that part let off.

I love this big rooster, 40 X 40. The colors are outstanding with this big vibrant sun. What a treat to see. Can't you just see and hear him crowing early in the morning.

This was difficult. I had to make several attempts before I succeeded.

I like this flower's colors.

This was a difficult flower to created because I hated it. But look at my results. Now I am willing to try new things. I even know how to appreciate all of nature because it all matters.

This was a very small and difficult problem.

This is my favorite Christmas flower.

How do you like my beautiful mum?

I remember when we made these flowers, I hated this lesson but when we were asked to paint them so small, I did it anyway. Am I glad I did? YES!

Man, this is HOT!

I like this delicate flower you were able to portray. The pink is perfect.

I would just call this dress down day. Watch, this school year, as we make them dress in code...What fun that will be.

This is a wonderful Creation. You did well with the details. CONSIDERING WHAT IT WAS MADE OF, CARDBOARD AND STRING AND A FEW SPARE PARTS, I was just shocked. Amazed also because of its life size. It appears to be to scale. Good Job Fristo.

Even the side of the school looks good from this angle.

This is truly the inside of this building. What a work of art.

Fristo, your guitar is classic. I saw it in class, the Art Club and the gallery. How did you do this?

You have a good eye. This is my school also.

Is this dress down day at the Middle?

I saw this ceramic work in our All City Festival and I did like what I saw. I believe it is still on view.

The quality of this work is outstanding. I saw it at the All City Art Show. Can I have one.

I like this angle of our gallery.

I see this collection everyday. What a treat.

This is about the best mural in the collection.

I like the way the CLUB MEMBERS painted it. I love every single detail. It is very good.

WOW! Perfect Club design!

This is still the best After School design Next to Basic Art.

I saw this in our Gallery, please take the time to see and examine it.

I like to see how these long, large and colorful stamps come alive as the canvas moves in the breeze. They are good evidence of how we have honored our past. Good job ARTCLUB38.

I enjoyed working on this large hanging mural. How nice it is still being used. We worked for 8 weeks using acrylic paint and later sealed with varnish. It was dedicated in a school assembly at Main Street School. Thanks Artsonia for publishing it for the world to see.

How did you come up with this color scheme? It is great...

This is an amazing creation and I understand it has lasted for three years. I know I have my bag.

I can remember working on this project. It was great!

I can remember working on this project. It was great! Angela

I have watched this develop. It is an amazing process. Thanks ArtClub and Artsonia.

I am working on this now and she is very difficult to capture. It is much better each time we work.

I think the graphic for these giants were overlooked. What a mistake. Your idea was right on.

I CAN SEE THE SHINE ON HER HAIR, GOOD JOB BRITNEY.

I was very happy to paint on this project. It was very large and we all had a section to blend into the next. When the artist finished drawing it, it took three weeks or more to key the colors into their places. Our teacher did a masterful job in mixing and creating color to match the stamp original. I was tired each day.

This was a very informative conference. First, I liked the breakfast, then the talk on daily nutrition, the body and exercise, a snack of fruit and cheese and crackers followed, back to the auditorium, hip hop dance and culture, lunch of whole wheat products and they were very good . Then activities for the remainder of the day. Good job Nurse!

The Sisterhood and Brotherhood gave a very good good conference. Ienjoyed the information, the food and all of the good handouts.

This conference is over the top and this graphic was everywhere and I will never forget it. Good job ARTCLUB!

Your color choices are very good.

Britney, your concentration , composition, and choices of color are excellent. I can see that concentration and research went into this work.

I remember painting this stamp. It was the most difficult thing I have every done, but it was great. I will never forget it from three years now.

This is a very, very large painting and it looks just like that stamp issued January/February 2006. I also had the privilege to help paint it.

This portrait of Ella was very difficult to paint so large and we are still working at it. Good luck group...

This is a symbol that all the Middle School students get to know. It represents daily health and good living. Thank you for allowing us to work the graphics this third year. I love the colors and hope to go to the Conference.

I helped on this one. The profiles were very difficult and so were the costumes.

Fredrick Douglas, W.E.B Dubois were difficult, and so was Dr. Drew, but they were fun. I also learned their history.

Thurgood Marshall was my favorite...Best Lawyer in the country at the time. I was proud to work on him.

Music is my passion and I have discovered "Rag Time."

Jacob Lawrence is my favorite Black Artist. A warm smile comes over me when I saw his work at the Newark Museum.

THIS WAS A VERY DIFFERENT PROJECT IN THAT IT WAS SOMEWHAT SMALL IN COMPARISON TO OUR OTHER ART PROJECTS BUT I LIKE THE GROUP THAT I WORK WITH.

The beat symbol of an activity that means so much to the health of our young students. I can see how it has lasted for three years so far. Good job ARTCLUB for the update.

This group has my stamp of approval...

I like this large painting, it is an inspiration to me each time I see it.

This is the best scene I have seen in the Middle School for a long time. Keep up the work Basic Art classes and After School Club.

Hola...

I liked this project. It is so big. I was so close and then it seemed not to be Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Then the teacher let us all sign up as the young artist for this year. I could not wait to let my mother and family see it. We hung it in the school lobby and it came alive. WOW!!!

I enjoyed working on this team. It was as if we were working for a cause. Thanks for exhibiting it on Artsonia.

I think this painting calmed our school. Please find a place for it to always hang...

What a wonderful way to create a lasting impression in the minds of our young students from around the world.

WOW! What an honor for a great man.

I remember when this was first painted. What an impact this image has on the public and I look forward to seeing it each year. Thank you art club.
