Such a great week in Art Camp 2! I had even more kids this time, but it went smoother than the first week. This week had the theme "faces". We made some amazing masks, self portraits, portraits of friends, and even threw in tie dye just for fun! We also had a nature art day, where we made hedgehogs with pine cones and clay and owl masks with nut … [Read more...]

Art Camp was a blast!
Art camp was craziness! It was great fun and a wonderful learning experience for me. I have taught small classes before, but never had this many students. I think I did pretty well!

Inspired by local artists
If your hands look like this, it's been a good day. I had such a wonderful Mother's Day! The kids had their easel set up next to mine in the backyard and we painted the afternoon away! We were all inspired the previous weekend having gone to open studios at 17th Avenue, 17thavenuestudios.org. If you ever have the chance, I highly recommend it! … [Read more...]

We went to play with friends at the playground, but as the nature lovers we are, were drawn into the forest. We walked along a path and found a little stream, … [Read more...]
