Welcome Back Artists!

It was great to be back in the Art room and have almost everyone there. 

Our first 2 sketchbook assignments were:

1. Draw your favourite animal

Try not to get too complicated as this will tie into another project later in our session. But at the same time try not to go too average as well, it will be harder if 5 of you all chose to go with a dog.

2. Draw your favourite food

I found this one quite difficult because I love food. I narrowed it down to about 20 foods but finally decided to go with a dessert.

I will post these photos next week as we got so busy that I forgot to take the photos. Oops.

I have also revealed our teams for this session. We will have 4 groups from: 

Once Upon A Time!

We have 4 teams this session to help everyone have a fair chance of winning each week. 

Team Emma

Team Rumplestiltskin

Team Hook

Team Regina

We currently are working on Artist Pin Wheels! Here is where the inspiration came from:

Freckle Photo Blog - Artist Pinwheels!

I changed up some of the artist styles but love the idea of these! 

Here are the artists & styles we will be doing:

1. Piet Mondrian

2. Romero Britto

3. Op Art (Optical)

4. Zendoodle

Then on the back we will be doing splatter artist:

5. Jackson Pollock

Each artist has to come up with a "theme" for their pinwheels then work each triangle to both artist/style & theme. These have been working quite quickly, I'm happy at how eager everyone has been to work on these. We have all kinds of themes, from music, Star Wars, Oilers, and even Emoji's.

Lastly, this week's sketchbook homework is to draw a robot.

Welcome back Artists!

I can't wait to see all my little artists again after school today. And we will have a few new faces joining us this session as well. We had 2 artists leave our group, and have 1 new artist joining us for sure, and 2 possible new artists. I guess we will know for sure at 3:30 today!!

Thank you Westlock Home Hardware!

I did however want to send out a huge thank you to our Westlock Home Hardware for asking us to be a part of A Magical Winter's Night Lantern Walk back in December. 

Westlock Home Hardware has donated all 11 of the easels used during the Lantern Walk to our Art Club. 

I can't wait to start our new paintings with them.

Since our new session begins today I will be back tomorrow to update about our current project, as well as what the sketchbook homework will be. Till then "Stay Creative!"
