Lobster Prints Mommy and Me Class

Today we sang the "Lion Hunt" song and read a book, "Never Take a Shark to the Dentist: (and Other Things Not to Do)" by Judi Barrett. In the book we learned to not hold hands with lobsters. Great funny book that the little ones will love! After our story we made our lobster prints using watercolors, acrylics, and stamps (our own hands for claws, foam cut out for the body, romaine lettuce end for tail, and tp roll for background underwater flowers for texture). Try it at home and check out our beautiful lobsters!

Tweens and Teens Emotional Self Portrait Class

19 tween and teen campers from Paradise Farms Camp came to do a special class with me - Emotional Self Portraits! We talked about famous artist portraits such as Romare Bearden and Andy Warhol, how emotions look, color choices that evoke certain emotion, how to draw the human head — it's proportions/formulas and finally we went over materials we could use for our own portraits. We used pencils, oil pastel, acrylic paint, watercolor, cut up magazines, yarn, papers and more. Check out how great they did in such a short time of 2 hours. Pretty amazing stuff:)

Summer Camp July 2012; Printmaking

We spent 2 weeks experimenting with printmaking. We made a book as well as some loose larger pieces. You will see many monoprints, collagraphs, etchings, silk screen, stamping, collages and mixed media. I've shown the boards for each child from the art show and will also post movies of their books as I finish editing them. Enjoy!
