Surprise

All summer long my daughter has been green with envy because her big brother got to do art classes. This Fall I will be doing Tots Heart Art! It will be on Mondays at 10am for ages 3-4. We will do classes in month increments for $20 a month. Each class will be an hour and will be centered around a theme that will include a story, snack, and art project. Our classes will start in September, please contact me if you're interested.

Week Six: Degas & Movement

After a quick break last week we're back! This week was Edgar Degas and Movement. No, movement is not one of the seven classic elements of art but it is important. My wonderful students working with chalk pastel and expressing movement: Notice the little person on the right?

That little person is my three year old daughter. After seeing all of the pictures of ballerinas and horses that I had put up this week she insisted on being a part of class. After class and enjoying chalk pastel that little girl got a bath.

Week 7: Raphael & Value

Week Five: O'Keeffe & Space

This week we leaned about Georgia O'Keeffe and her use of space. It was so fun to see the kids use bold colors and enlarge objects.
Next week:
Edgar Degas and moving out of the artistic elements we will focus on movement.

Week Four: Rodin & Form

Sadly this week I wasn't handy with the camera so, no fun pictures. Enjoy Auguste Rodin's The Thinker, because we did. We dug our hands into clay and made busts.
Next Week:
Georgia O'Keeffe and Space
