Weekly Winter Art Classes
at Little Wildflowers Art Studio!
Hi everyone!
It's pretty crazy to think that only a few days ago, we were burning up. 80 degrees outside and our A/C wasn't working. In fact, I actually went surfing! I did have on a full body wetsuit... BUT it was inside out! So, the whole idea of keeping the warmth inside was out the window! Rookie mistake ;) So glad I have a picture of it. I had no idea!
PS: don't mind us, we're just staring right into the setting sun here!
But, I'm not complaining. It's still been 60 degrees outside and it's November!
Anyways, I want to share just a few of the amazing things that the kids have been doing in my studio lately.
I am so passionate about providing a positive creative space and lots of special art supplies that kids don't typically experience in church, school, etc. My goal is for kids to feel more confident in their OWN abilities to CREATE in an encouraging group setting.
A few weeks ago, my preschool class drew and painted owls in moonlit fall trees, along with a few other cute projects. They mixed their own paint colors, did lots of gluing, glittering, painting, smudging, and drawing. They were just so precious! (see cute pics below)
There's something really intriguing to kids about designing clothes. They're able to express their own unique sense of creativity in what someone else is wearing (in this case, that someone was a silly skeleton!).
The artists in my "Be Brave & Create" classes have also dyed their own fabrics with real indigo powder and then used the fabric they dyed to make pillows on the sewing machine! Some of them wanted to hand sew them, so they did.
This has been an amazing process, as several of them have found a new love for sewing. Which really melts my heart! Someone's even asking for a sewing machine for Christmas! :)
Now For Info About My 2 Long(er) Term Winter Classes!
My next "Be Brave & Create: Winter" class will begin in January, 2020 (are we seriously about to enter 2020!?!?!) and will last through May, 2020. We will do many amazing art projects with a wide variety of art mediums, all the while growing creative confidence and a sense of artistic wonder.
