Painting is Fun

We have had a great time in our "Creative Kids" classes!  I plan on posting a couple pictures of their art work.  I think you will really enjoy looking at it!
In December the kiddos drew mugs of hot chocolate.  After drawing and then drinking the hot chocolaty goodness the kids were ready to paint.  Their paintings were fun and festive for the Christmas season.  We studied Henri Matisse and afterward the kids had a go at creating their very own Matisse masterpiece. 
For January, the kids each drew a collage of things they are looking forward to in 2011.  We studied Vincent Van Gogh's starry night paintings and then the kids painted their neighborhood under starry skies.   They produced such beautiful drawings and paintings.
February will be another exciting month for "Creative Kids"!  Our theme is "Things I LOVE"...for Valentines Day, of course!  A Star Wars theme for the boys and a Teddy Bear theme for the girls is on our agenda!  The artist we are going to talk about is Norman Rockwell. 
If you're interested in seeing what classes are available in February.... check out my schedule below.  Thanks for visiting!
