We used sharpie to outline our drawings... 

 painted with watercolor...

 and put the background in with chalk pastels.

Mini Monet

Trains...

We had fun with train art in Mini Monet class this week!

We matched shapes... we did train stamps and decorated a felt train.

Lesson with Emily

We read a book about growing sunflowers and did sunflower art and seed planting art.

Emily wanted to draw her and her sister Anna planting seeds!

She did a great job!

She finished up her drawing with colored pencils.

Lesson with Luke

Snowy Owl

 liquid watercolor and sharpie



Lesson with Sydney and Alaina

We studied the artwork of

Henri Matisse!

The artwork that we did today was their interpretation of the painting by Matisse called,  "The Fish Bowl"

Alaina and Sydney thought a cat would fit perfectly into their paintings!

So, instead of "The Fish Bowl"...  we could call their artwork-

"Snack Time"

After we finished our first piece of art, we did scissor art... Matisse style!!!

It was a fun class!

Ty and Hadley

We finished painting these owls and then made more clay owls to paint for next time!

Here are Ty and Hadley's owls...

  hanging out with their other owl pals!

Mini Monet

3 year old Farrah came to class

and

we did

~LION ART~

Farrah drew and painted everything herself!

Super Cute, huh?

We read the book, "To Be Like The Sun", by Susan Marie Swanson, and then we did a collage

sunflower picture.

Farrah noticed how similar the lion (with his mane) and a sunflower are!



An Artist Of My Very Own...

I love watching my son draw!

Wherever he goes he has his sketch book, pencil and eraser with him!

This is a work in progress...

 I love finished pieces... but I also LOVE seeing the different stages of

a piece of art!

I love that I came upon this and enjoyed seeing it unfinished with the pencil and

eraser sitting there just waiting for the rest of the picture to be drawn!





More Owls...

I had two more classes of

clay art this week!

These little owls are my super favorite thing this month!

So cute...  and fun to make!
