Here are some of our first finished pieces. These come from Tim Nielson's painting class at Sentinel High School.
Jessica Clement
The Little Things
Acrylic on Glass
29" x 32"
This project was very fun for me. Once I started putting paint on the glass, I didn't know what I wanted to do. I just let my brush move me. Then, before I knew it, it became a picture and I knew what I wanted in the middle of it all. I wanted a small piece of happiness in the sometimes dark world.
Kailee Nelson
The Sea Turtle
Acrylic on Glass
30" x 32"
This project was extremely fun to work on. I have never worked with acrylic paint before (mainly oil and charcoal), so this was a new and unique experience. I worked on this for about a week (roughly five hours) and I used a more abstract method than I have ever used before. This was a really fun project!
Taylor Herz
Up in Smoke
Acrylic on Glass
27" x 32"
It took me about four hours of work. I really just focused on black and white painting. Volcanoes are very black and white at times.
Elliot Tabler
Colors of Missoula
Acrylic on Glass
32" x 23"
This window has been an incredible experience for me. I really enjoyed working with my classmates for a project that goes towards such a great cause. I wanted to capture how I feel about Missoula in a way that shows this city's beauty with colors that give the city an uplifting vibe.
Lyndria Tackitt
Vortex
Acrylic on Glass
42" x 22"
I thought up this piece because when it was introduced to us we were told it could be a window into our world. So that is what I made it. I want people to be able to look at it , get away from the real world, and be able to go to their own world. Also when painting it, I had to take what I drew and planned out and work backwards from what I had just finished.
None of this would be possible without the support of our fabulous art teachers. Thank you Tim Nielson for supporting this project!
