Teaching Art Classes this September!
I just mentioned this in my last post, but decided it was deserving of it's very own post. I'll be teaching art classes next month: every Tues in Sept 2012 at 10:30am at the Discovery Learning Center in Santa Cruz, CA. An introduction to working with different materials. I'm using up some supplies left over from the summer camps I taught and … [Read more...]
Fossils (practically) in our back yard!
Yesterday we took a break from learning about dinosaurs, which has been the focus of everything for the past week! We went for a hike at Nisene Marks State Park in Aptos and found our way down to a creek where almost every rock had fossils of shells in them! Back to talking all about dinosaurs and how fossils are formed, found, etc! It was … [Read more...]
Art Camp 2, SO FUN!
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! I survived the week and my students seemed to have a good time. I chose messy projects that their parents would most likely not want to do at home, like splatter paint … [Read more...]
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...]

Fun learning outdoors this week!
We've had such a fun "school" week outdoors! We went to Harvey West Park, I don't get over there very often and forget how beautiful it is! I should know, it's where I got married after all! 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...]

What a Spring!
Well it went from freezing, to rainy, to super hot! What a spring! But I'm loving it! I've always been a sun lover. My kids and I have been outside as much as possible. We planted our garden, took swim lessons the last two months at Simpkins Swim Center, which is awesome! My son improved so much! And I got to swim with the baby while my son … [Read more...]
