Plein Air

On Tuesday, professional Plein Air artist Jared Shear traveled from Thompson Falls, Montana, to teach the students in the Arts track how to do Plein Air painting.  Plein Air, defined as the open air, especially during daylight hours (and referring to a painting style in said open air used in the 19th century), is a new style to most students.  They traveled by foot down to the river as Mr. Shear discussed technique, and then demonstrated for them.  Students then practiced techniques on their own.  Next week, the group will travel to City Beach in Sandpoint for another hand at the style before teaching the Outdoors Track what they know in future lessons.
