The girls cut out magazine pictures to make stories - Lots of them chose birds and flowers. Collage is not as easy as one might think - the first picture may be easy but what comes next can change the story dramatically!

We did candy shop drawings for Valentines day. Jars of candies. Lollipops. Kids with candy in their hands. Hearts. Some of the shops have free candy for the special day. Some have happy cashiers. There is even a sweet dog to play with.
If only we could all have fun just drawing sweet things and not eating them!

These paintings show how kids have fun. Even though winters in our town are mild and snow-less, each of these kids had experience building a snowman sometime in their little lives.

We did a still-life lesson today - setup a bunch of different bottles (thanks to mom for arranging it) and started drawing. The girls did different patterns in the bottles and got busy decorating.
I love the simplicity of this project. Shapes and patterns and all the colors combine to make it a fun drawing.

These nice still-lives show clearly that the drawing skills of my young students is steadily improving. I still need to remind them that they need to draw large but now they know what I am asking and they are able to make the drawing proportionate. Yeah!!

The sun was shinning brightly on this beautiful warm day in California. But we pulled some curtains, and painted a snowy day picture. These are so sweet and a lot of thought went into the drawings and the colors.

We used the Belgian artist Magritte's idea to make these drawings. What do you like to see - draw a big eye and draw what you like to see in the iris. Girls of course did rainbows and themselves playing.

One eight year old birthday girl who loves to paint chose to do a panda painting with her friends and sister. Mom made a nice setup in the courtyard and under soft blue skies we drew and painted on canvases.
Isn't it great to be eight?

We drew horses and then used watercolors to paint. The paints are very popular - something about a brush loaded with color. The ability to make it thin or thick. What exactly gravitates children towards painting and what exactly intimidates most adults?
The youngest in this group is not even 5 yet!

To draw a snowman is easy enough. 3 circles, in descending sizes, and then its time to add details. The girls did great in the first part of the project - no surprise. But what was amazing is what came after - the drawing of the little girl making the snowman. What a great step in drawing this is.
