Last Day of the Salvador Sketchers

Modigliani

Six weeks ago I started a drawing class called the Salvador Sketchers. We had 8 students. During the six week course students learned all about line, shading, perspective and just doodling. Today we had some fun doing self portraits Modigliani style.

Look how great my students can draw!

New classes start on the 20th go to the tab above that is titled Drawing classes to register.

Registration is now open

Okay...Registration is now open.

If you noticed on top of the blog there are some new tabs.
There is one called Drawing Class
One for the VanGoghs--classes for 6 and up
and one for Club DiVinci---classes for 8 and up

If you click on the tabs they take you to the class, dates and time.

Salvador Dali clocks

I was at the thrift store and picked up some records...you remember those..some of you might not know what they even are. Well, I'm always looking for something new and cool to do. What to do with these records.

I have never been into Salvador Dali...just can't figure his little mind out...but who could. But I've seen other use clay and sculpt out the Salvador Dali clocks with their students. I don't have a kiln so what could I do. Then I thought, I could melt a record and shape it when it's warm. This is what I came up with.

I took a record and heated the oven to about 200 degrees. I put a pot on a baking sheet and then put the record on it. As it melted I would take it out, play around with shaping it...if it didn't work out just put it back in the oven and remelt it.

Then I used acrylic paint

All about shading

Kids learned about shading.

Learned how to hold their pencil, when to add pressure and when to release.

The beginning of my Drawing Class

Just started a drawing class at Miss Debbie's Doodlebugs.
This will introduce kids to some of the basic techniques of drawing.
The class was given a tote bag (which I made), an art journal, two drawing pencils and a tin to keep two smaller pencils, their eraser and their pencil sharpener

Another use of an Altoid tin
