Last week's sketchbook assignment was to:

Draw your sidekick!

You all did a great job, and I love hearing all your wild and funny stories about your drawings.

Here are the winners:

the Jughead Fandom

the Betty Fandom

and the Cheryl Fandom

Congrats to all our winners!

The second project we are working on has been temporarily put on pause. I wanted to put a new style twist onto this project but the technique is not working. I hope to have this figured out by next week. As all of you know I pre-test all projects we do and try to put either my own twist or a nowadays style twist on them to make them more original. It's also nice to know ahead of time what works and what does not. 

So in the mean time this is what we are working on:

You guys had asked if we were going to be removing the spider webs when we were done with them, and that got me thinking. As much as it was not my original plan, I think it's a great idea that you guys came up with. 

Now our new plan will be on display in the office next Thursday. 

Just in time for Halloween! 

You guys and your creativity rock!

Here's a sneak peak!

Next week will be our Halloween edition of Art Club! 

So this week your sketchbook homework is to draw:

A Character and Zombify it!

See you and all your zombies next week!

So excited that we are back! Today was our third class, out of ten but it's the first time I've remembered to take a few photos.

Our theme for this session of Art Club is Riverdale!

Today was our first sketchbook assignment. Our sketchbook homework this week was to draw an animal that doesn't exist.

Here are our groups and the winners of this week's challenge!

Jughead Jones

Betty Cooper

Cheryl Blossom

Here we are checking out our sketchbooks.

And we have completed our first project as well. We drew the things that we find in our hearts. Three things that are apart of our heartbeats. Today they went on display!

Next week's Sketchbook assignment is to draw:

 your sidekick!

Year End Art Show

I'm sorry to say that at the end of the school year we were so busy that I didn't get a chance to post the photos of our Year End Art Show. Then it was such a sad time knowing that I was leaving the Art Club that I couldn't bring it to myself to post the photos. But the blog feels unfinished without posting them. So here we go.....I hope you enjoy our show!

On a positive note, I am in need of volunteering hours for Community service for a class that I am currently taking at the U of A. I am happy to say that being able to continue teaching the Art Club has been approved by my professor. So I am officially back for one more session! I look forward to getting back into the art room with all my fellow artists.
