I am channeling my good friend and accomplished artist Gregory Manchess — National Geographic covers, US postage stamps (including this Christmas!), several paintings in the 2G classroom — for 2G Art.
While many folks believe that artists just “make it up out of their heads,” in truth, artists use reference.
Reference ≠ copying, altho’ copying good art is a fabulous way to learn how to do good art!
Recently, 2G students have been using the wonderful art in a NatGeo book of Greek myth for their art reference.
Enjoy their work!
