Doing it Again

I don't know if you love this project as much as I do. Probably not, but how can you argue with these great results? This time the kids are older, primarily 9ish (last time the kids were 4). These guys are pretty familiar with marker and line although a bit shy and concerned with "getting it right."


I love the unexpected things that happen in the shape works. Because they aren't as familiar with this way of working they are more creative. This is also a great precursor to finding shapes in drawing which is very important for observational drawing. I should remember to tell the parents that. Some of them were unimpressed.





Ha. This one is packing heat but lets just pretend it's a boot or something. Check out the folded collar on the pink coat. I wish we could do these every week.



This artist worked quickly and had time to do another one. The second time she broke out the pinking shears and had some fun.

Art Class

This is what I've been doing this week. Alzheimer's, autism, and kids art classes. Now I just need to figure out how to squeeze some of my own artmaking into the mix and life would be perfect. I probably put more of those Shape & Line portraits then you need to see. But, really, how could I choose!

This is a fun photo from my Saturday art class. I am always inspired by the children's creativity and enthusiasm. This is art-making done right.
