The girls showed me various poses for ballerinas - then they started drawing their favorite one. The arms and fingers are the hardest, they said. They added pets who danced with them. Some of them even have a piano accompaniment.
These drawings are so sweet and innocent - and they really represent all kinds of dancers and happy people.

The girls drew Kachina dolls for a still-life lesson today. I had one to show them and they did a friend for the one. So sweet.

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!

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.

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.

The first class of the year was full of excited kids. We drew guitars and violins and then cut them up. These were used in a collage with other fun paper, music notes, and colored shapes.

These were really fun to draw. How long to make the neck? How long are the legs - where do they start, where do they end. Lots of reference points to make the whole picture. The landscape that these horses exist in are really interesting and full of stories.

Then we saw a puppy on the garage floor!
These very young girls did their self-portrait this evening. So many different shapes to make the whole face.
Check them out - they are so sweet, so full of expression.

These fun birds are a great lesson to draw a simple bird and then complete the drawing with lots of nice details. First we drew the body, then the feathers. The birds then got a home with trees, grass, and flowers.
Aren't they sweet and princely?

I love the composition in these drawings - the are so well done.
Also - drawing more than one animal - in this case the penguin - makes for interesting and fun stories. Some of these birds are related to each other and some have names. All of them appeared on white blank pieces of paper via my sweet young students! Magic!
