Art class projects....

Hi everyone just thought I would share what the children have been doing in my art class...ages 6 to 8

here we are in Feb...

It's so hard to believe that winter is just about over... I have been crazy busy with teaching art... and loving soooo much.... this is what we are doing in class this week...

Having fun !!

Just wanted to stop and tell everyone how much 'we' are having... I just love teaching art... it's great !!... and it's great to see excitment at every class.... the last couple of week having been doing cartooning... as you can see... thanks for dropping by...

Hi everyone... again...

Summer was crazy... with grand-babies... and company.... you all know what I'm talking about.... I spent a lot of time this summer working on a 36 week course to teach art to children... I tried to cover many topics... drawing... mixed media... to my stained glass work... to painting... to clay work and finally mask making.... the course is now finished and I have started teaching now.... I was asked to do a Mom/children course as welll.... so as you see I have spent the last few months with my nose in books and not with a paint brush in my hand...(I missed my painting greatly)... but the paper work is now done so I can move back to my beloved studio........ thanks for taking the time to check me out.....

Hi everyone !!

I just wanted to post and tell eveyone... my life life has been --well we could say very busy !!.. I was hired in the spring by Learning Through the Atrs to work with teachers in the classroom as a visuial artist --that was great -- I was in a kindergarten class-- so exciting to open their eyes to the wonder of art-- that ran until the middle of June and then I was hired do to an art camp again as the visuial artist -- that was an amazing two weeks-- it just finished yesterday...the ages of the art camp was 7 - 11-- a great group of ladies working with these children-- and the children -Wow! so interested and interesting !!... it was a great spring--heedless to say I have not had a minute to paint for myself-- too busy working with children-- which I love !!.. so now my goal is to get back in my studio... I also want to say 'Thanks !!'... I appreciate your thoughts and concerns... that bus took alot out of me... probably others would have been able of do the teaching and their own painting but... oh well -- Thanks again !!
