A Great Week Of Classes

This was a busy week for Artfully Me...

Tuesday evening in adult class we painted sunflowers.

Friday evening in "Creative Kids" we drew dragons and painted clone troopers.

Saturday evening in T.L.C. (try, learn, create) we did collage art... our theme was "Friendship Is A Sheltering Tree"... Samuel Taylor Coleridge

Thanks for visiting!

“Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.” Pablo Picasso

In the Creative Kids Friday evening class the girls were excited to be drawing and painting teddy bears. The girls also broke in the new chalk wall in the studio. What FUN! We learned about how the teddy bear came to be and talked about Norman Rockwell... ~The Storyteller With A Brush~

In Pint-Sized Picasso's we talked about Symmetry and Primary Colors. The kids were entertained by the story ~Bernard the Butterfly~ We had a smushy good time with our symmetry experiment and then the kids painted beautiful butterflies.

I hope all these great little artists had fun this weekend! I can tell you that I'm already looking forward to next time!

Creative Kids and Pint-Sized Picasso's This Weekend

I'm looking forward to my *KIDDO* classes this weekend!

I picked up the reference materials for my classes from the library today... I can't wait to show the kids all the amazing books I found on the topics we will be discussing this month!

I had another great painting session in my Tuesday adult evening class! Thanks to Denise for joining me to paint!

I'll never have enough time to paint all the pictures I'd like to.

The kids will LOVE it and you will too!

The snow isn't stopping me from thinking of SPRING!

In my adult class this week we painted a forest path... with blue bells in full bloom! I can't wait for a spring hike in the mountains, but until then... it was fun to paint this scene and dream of that day! We had the 80's music going and wine flowing! A special thanks to Vineet for bringing wine to share! It was a fun and relaxing evening for everyone.

I have a *Mommy and Me* class scheduled for this weekend! If you are looking for an artfully FUN way to spend some time with your kiddo... come check it out! Home is where the heart is ~ will be our theme! We are going to get creative with collage! Come build the collage home of your dreams!

My "Creative Kids" classes are filling up. Just a reminder... the boys and girls are split up this month for special projects.

The girls are up first (Friday the 18th) we will first draw and then paint teddy bears.

The boys are up next (on the 25th) with a dragon drawing and a star wars painting.
The artist we will be talking about in both classes this month is Norman Rockwell.

If you want to reserve a spot for your kiddo give me a call or email me. Please RSVP by February 14th for the boys class and Feb. 21st for the girls class.

I have openings for Pint Sized Picasso's... (5-6 yrs) February 19th 10-12 We will also do a Valentine themed paintings in this class.
Girlies: We are going to draw a heart shaped butterfly and then paint it with all kinds of fabulous colors. We will also give our butterfly some Fancy-Schmancy embellishments.
Boyos: We will be working on a Hoppy Valentine Frog. We will have fun bringing this hopper to life with spots, stripes and a nice long froggie tongue! It's going to be FUN FUN FUN

Have a GREAT day and thanks for visiting!

February Fun!!!

January was a Fun ART-FILLED month! Thank you to all of you who either came to a class or brought their kiddo to class. I enjoyed every minute of my teaching time and I'm looking forward to my February classes! I think the kiddos... and the adults... are learning and having fun at the same time.

February's schedule has a couple Valentine theme class opportunities! I've had requests to add a younger kiddo class (ages 5-6). So, I've added a date in February to paint with those Pint-Sized Picasso's.

*For a full list of February classes please check out the schedule below!*

By the way, I'm still trying to figure out how to do all the fun stuff with this blog! I tried to post a slideshow of all the kids' work but I couldn't get it to post! Stay tuned... I'll get it all figured out!

Thank you for visiting!
