Follow me as I explore, learn, educate, and live my ultimate dream - teaching art and sharing it with others!Dinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13792616912969347750noreply@blogger.comBlogger101125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389036994405097452.post-29326951709445042042013-04-24T10:06:00.002-04:002013-04-24T10:06:42.600-04:00We are officially in the New StudioIts been a rough month, trying to get everything in the studio and just right so the students will have a fun and creative environment to work in. Its a bit different from teaching art classes out of your home and then moving into a commercial space. Sometimes I rethink my decision, okay, I rethink it quite often, but it all goes away when I open the door and see the kids and have their arms wrap around me. Its a great feeling.<br />
<br />
Lots of changes with the studio and the business. Thank goodness for a great friend and her hubby too, who is helping me with my marketing and social media. It can be a bit overwhelming, but if I give parts of it away to other people who can do a better job if it, it makes my day a little easier.<br />
<br />
I have a more functional website, which is pretty cool. I am able to take online payments, have people schedule their classes on the new site, and sign up for events. I also have a special page for my artwork to sell and people can purchase it at that moment.<br />
<br />
I have hired additional teachers who are so wonderful to teach some classes. There are alot of ideas in the works, but its getting there!<br />

Usually self-portraits are exactly what you think they would be....a portrait of themselves using paint, oil pastels, markers, etc. I thought of taking 4x4 squares and have them randomly traced on a piece of glossy card stock. Once they created their background, they were asked to put specific things inside their tiles. Some examples are: favorite flower, favorite animal, favorite season, favorite holiday and their name. <br />
<br />
They used markers to draw them in, I thought it would smudge alot less than oil pastels. They finished it up with creating a 2 color combination pattern in the background. Here are some results:<br />

I thought of the idea all on my own, pretty darn proud of myself! <br />
<br />
We used a ceramic tile and covered it with krinkled up tissue paper. We used Mod Podge to adhere it. Once it dried, we painted a large heart in the center and then waited for that to dry.<br />
<br />
We then used some glitter and added details inside the heart. We then added pouring medium to the inside of the heart to make it super glossy. We took some oil pastels and rubbed it over the tissue paper to accentuate the texture. I wish I had taken photos of all of the results, some students left before I remembered to take a picture, but here are a few. <br />

I had them divide the paper in half, we covered up the top half with black card stock. The black part of the paper represents the wall. The bottom white half represents a table or shelf the vases are sitting on. <br />
<br />
The students created their vases using templates and their own ideas, and then colored them in with colored pencils. They cut the shapes out and glued them on the paper, being careful to sit them on the table and not have them floating on the wall (black part). <br />
<br />
They were then taught to create a shadow on the bottom to create the illusion of light. Pretty great results. Here are just a few.<br />

We had a break from art and with all the hustle and bustle, I haven't posted in a LONG time. <br />
<br />
Now that class is back in session, here is the lesson of the week. I am loving the results and uniqueness in everyone. <br />
<br />
We started by creating a frame around our paper. I love the look of frames and use them time to time when painting or drawing. We then created our landscape. Starting with the mountains, working our way down to the trees, adding the hills, and then finally the stream. I tried to find the best process for the kids to follow along with. We then retraced our lines with a black sharpie and added some small details such as the snow caps on the mountains, swirls in the stream and blades of grass on the sides and bottom. <br />
<br />
here are some results: <br />

At a glance, it looks like a hand, wow, how exciting, but there is alot involved with the lesson once we peeled the layers.<br />
<br />
The students were taught the concept of Realism, and we used their hand as our sample. We also taught them about patterns, movement, and shading. It was pretty intense when we started on our ribbon that wrapped around their finger. Although it is a simple line, its how you shade it in that makes it look real. <br />
<br />
I wish I had more pictures, but again, its so hectic after class that I forget to grab the camera.<br />
<br />
Here are a few results:<br />

October was a busy month, then again, it seems like every month is busy! I am just getting around to posting the chalk pastel pumpkin lesson. I have so many more pictures of these to post, but here are a few to get your started. The kids did a great job learning how to blend and use the chalk to create shadows and shading.

I cant believe its been almost a month since my last post. We had a break inbetween sessions and life just got busy, as it always seem to do.<br />
<br />
I love this time of year. I like to teach projects that coincide with the seasons, holidays and this festive time of year. We started the session off painting frightening Frankensteins on wood blocks. <br />
<br />
This weeks lesson we will be doing a chalk pastel pumpkin lesson on matte board. Lots of pictures to come, and lots of lessons planned for the coming weeks. <br />
<br />
Don't forget, if you want to enroll your child in Session 5 (which starts in December), and are NEW to our studio, you must register in November. Due to a high demand, there are very limited spots available. <br />

Its a great lesson where it teaches the children a little bit about perspective and also allows them to be really imaginitive and create fun and crazy self-portraits. <br />
<br />
I demonstrated to the kids how things that are close up appear large and things that are far away from us, appear small. Using that rule, we went to work on our drawings and created these fun "falling back" people. They could be self portraits or just a random person. I had some kids make theirs look funky, athletic, sassy and one little girl even made hers pink. <br />
<br />
They had alot of fun doing this, they got to spread out and draw on the floor and escape for this one hour of class, thats what its all about.<br />
<br />
Now, the results: <br />

It involved a little bit of trivia, a drawing lesson, and watercolors. First the students were introduced to these old, clipper ships. I told the students a little history about the ships and then gave them trivia homework. Their questions was: Why do they call them clipper ships and what made them go in extinction? Those who come in with the correct answer gets to pick a prize out of the prize bucket.<br />
<br />
So the next step was the drawing lesson. The students learned about the parts of the ship such as masts and sails. They sketched out their design and added their own extra details. <br />
<br />
After it was sketched, they traced their lines with black sharpies and went ahead with the watercolors. Here are some results:<br />

This time, I made the focus, hot air balloons and let them design them the way they wanted using the pencils. Althought I spent most of the class near the pencil sharpener sharpening the pencils, the end result was well worth it. Here are only a few of the balloons.<br />

The kids really had a good time making these snakes. I think they truly knocked this lesson out of the park! <br />
<br />
We used pencil to first draw our snakes and background. I then showed them a lesson on how to blend and properly use chalk pastels. We had alot of students who were using it for the first time, so they quickly learned how fast they can smudge and make a big mess on your paper. <br />
<br />
They got to work creating their snakes and having them weave behind and in front of the tree. that part was a little tricky, but they all got through it and the final results were very impressive. Here are some of the snakes:<br />

I love seeing all the different results. Of course, there is always someone who boycotts the dragonfly, so I gave them the creative freedom to pick whatever insect they wanted. <br />
<br />
We started off by making some hard lines with our pencil to divide our paper into sections. After each section was made, the students had to pick between 3-5 oil pastels and start creating patterns in each block. <br />
<br />
The boys of course tried to take shortcuts and color in the sections with a solid color, but once I found out their tricks, I kept it so they were only allowed to color up to 2 in solid colors!<br />
<br />
I told them to think about geometric shapes to create their patterns and to also create patterns using colors. <br />
<br />
Once they colored the background they started on their dragonfly. They used the same color on the dragonfly as they did with the background so it looked camouflage on the paper. We added some cute pipe cleaner antennaes and added some 3d glue stickers to have it look like it landed on the paper! Here are some results.<br />

When I first tried the lesson myself, I didnt realize from a childs perspective, the little speed bumps along the way. I quickly found out when I tested it out on my first class!<br />
<br />
I really wanted this to be a 1 hour lesson, but really it should have been divided into 2 classes. The first step was to make the ruler lines on both sides and the bottom to represent a fish tank. It caused so much confusion the first class, that I ended up making the lines myself for the other classes. I wanted to teach them how to appropriately read the ruler but to accomplish all of this in an hour class is impossible. <br />
<br />
Next, we painted the background with watercolors. I asked the students to paint in blues and green. <br />
<br />
I then set up a table and called it my "Creation Station". It was covered with a ton of different colored papers. They had to first make their gravel or stones for the bottom of their fishtank. After that, they went to work creating their fish tank. They cut up the paper for the gravel and stones and then used green paper for their seaweed. The next step was to create their fish and sea-life in the fish tank. <br />
<br />
Here are some results:<br />

It turned into a 2 week project, 2nd one of this session (which is highly unusual) but I have alot of students who LOVE art and take their time, and it shows in their work. We used acrylic paints on cut and sanded pieces of wood. We probably could have spent even more time on it if we added embellishments and glitter and cool effects. Some students got to use glitter because they finished earlier and it made their owls very whimsical. <br />
<br />
I am very please with the outcome of our little hoots! Here are some results. <br />

She is the master of Zentangles. For those of you who dont know what they are, basically its the art of doodling. You can spend endless hours of doodling making the coolest creations. You can also use it for the alphabet, which is shown below.<br />

I did it with a heart and used alcohol inks as my background. I used a white marker to create the heart and did my doodling. Circles, swirls, lines, dots, waves, are all simple patterns of doodling, aka....Zentangles.<br />

Cost wise, its difficult to provide canvases for all of them, so here is another affordable way to be able to give them something to hang on a wall or put on a bookshelf without the fear of getting ripped.<br />
<br />
I cut (ok, well my husband did) several pieces of 2x6 into square blocks. Make sure you sand the edges before having anyone use them. <br />
<br />
I put some samples on the board of owls and different ways they can make their own. We explored a variety of options such as placement of eyes, feathers, shape of beak, expressions, etc. <br />
<br />
The students traced out their design on the wood block and when they were ready they painted it in with acrylic paints. This lesson has turned into a 2 week lesson because some of the details that the students have done are amazing. <br />
<br />
Here are 2 of my samples, when the kids finish them next week, I will be sure to post their works of art.<br />

I used fancy glitters, pouring mediums, and bead embellishments. They are so fun to make and addicting!

I had Fox news on the radio and I turned the volume up to hear a story they were talking about.<br />
<br />
The story was about a young soldier named Travis Mills. He is a husband, son, and father. Six weeks ago after being on his third tour of duty in Afghanistan, his life changed. He stepped on an IED and lost all 4 of his limbs. <br />
<br />
The story moved me like no other. I was brought to tears instantly and had to throw the rest of my lunch out. But as I started hearing Travis talk, I knew there was a glimpse of hope in his story. His spirt, perseverance, and positive attitude was like no other. For someone who has suffered and lost so much, he was not going to let this defeat him. He is a truly remarkable soul. <br />
<br />
My father was in Vietnam. My father lost his leg. I remember as a child always thinking he was strong and proud. He never let anyone know he was in pain or feeling under the weather. He was a Marine. I guess that is why I feel so compelled to help Travis. <br />
<br />
I don't know him. I don't know his family. What I do know is that this man will never be able to do the every day things that we would be able to do- put a watch on, write his name, play soccer with his kids in the yard, hold his wifes hand with his own. <br />
<br />
This world is full of selfish people and it makes me sad. I pray to god every day that my family stays healthy and we are free from pain, but no one knows what lies ahead for tomorrow. I only hope that if something does happen, there are kind people out there who would help us. <br />
<br />
I have started a donation to help Travis. I am selling my artwork in the studio at a sale price. All proceeds will go to his family. I am teaching several classes for kids and adults, and all proceeds will go towards his family. <br />
<br />
I hope that people will find it in their hearts to help out as well. You can mail me a check or money order or stop by the studio. All the money we raise will go to Travis in one lump sum. I hope you can help me help Travis and his family.<br />

This picture was taken yesterday at the hospital he is at. We take for granted being able to get out of our bed. Now, this is the only way he can feel like he is standing up. <br />
<br />
He is going to make it, he is strong. He risked his life to make our lives and our world safe. He is a true American Hero.Dinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13792616912969347750noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7389036994405097452.post-3754904334547652322012-05-29T20:27:00.000-04:002012-05-29T20:27:57.772-04:00Blue Dog inspired by George RodrigueI am a few weeks behind on posting lessons. However, here is last weeks lesson. It turned into a 2 week project, which for some, allowed them to be attentive to the detail, neatness, and composition of the entire piece. For others, meaning my little ones of course, it was too much detail and they were ready to start something else!<br />
<br />
This "Blue Dog" was inspired by a famous artist named George Rodrigue. I didnt tell the students the name of the artwork or the name of the artist. Instead, I asked them to come back the following week with both the names and I would award them a prize. I was amazed at how many kids actually came back with the answer! I am so proud of them for taking the time to look it up. I think its very important to be knowledgeable about other artists and their work. <br />
<br />
So we first started the project by tracing some precut templates I made of the white nose area. I always encourage my older kids to free hand their work, but the nose was tricky for them. Next, we traced the pre cut circles for the eyes. They all drew in the nose and mouth on their own. <br />
<br />
Next we taped 2 lines of contact paper in a cross pattern on our paper. This gave the effect of the window in the background of the Blue Dog. <br />
<br />
After it was all taped up we were ready to go to work. The students painted the nose and eyes with black acrylic paint. They then colored their background with either greens and blue in a camouflage pattern. Some students thought outside the box and colored it in different effects, but I loved it!<br />
<br />
The last step: we peeled off the contact paper to reveal our Blue Dog!<br />
<br />
Here are the results:<br />

I got to enjoy a small vacation back home and relax and be home with my family. Its been fun. But I have to admit, I always had the art class in the back of my mind, and my wheels were always turning thinking about the next lessons for class. <br />
<br />
Class is now in session and it is so fun. I have so many new students and its really nice to have such an impact on the kids. I had a mom call me today and told me that she didnt know what I did in class, but her son had an amazing time and cant stop talking about the art class! THAT made my day!<br />
<br />
Living Social is organizing a grant program where if you win you could win a $250,000 grant. I want to WIN! I would love to be able to expand Time For Art Kids and open up another location where I will be able to spread the word of art to even more kids. <br />
<br />
Please, please, it only takes a minute. Click this link and follow the steps and vote for me. I need 250 votes to even be considered. Ask your friends, neighbors, family to vote. <br />

It was my first attempt, but I can see how it can be addicting. I already have a ton more ideas in my head waiting to be born on canvas. Here is the results of my first project. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-yldbVsmbVpGahz0TFbQWScQNNRCvOeSwtqPlNXDWeYdHGnFdICjtYS2dgsEreFRcG79170xBvJMlzJGFAdXK8ig4zb_nJ0OHa9eua3EOO4ndyROroV2M4Oy17rMzx-P5X7p7eCMbnBw/s1600/tissuepaper.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-yldbVsmbVpGahz0TFbQWScQNNRCvOeSwtqPlNXDWeYdHGnFdICjtYS2dgsEreFRcG79170xBvJMlzJGFAdXK8ig4zb_nJ0OHa9eua3EOO4ndyROroV2M4Oy17rMzx-P5X7p7eCMbnBw/s320/tissuepaper.jpg" width="155" /></a></div>I put a layer of pouring medium over some of the flowers to make them pop. I also traced them with a black sharpie to define their edges.

Saying goodbye to some fellow students was a little tough, but I know they will eventually be back. Taking a break for a month to enjoy life and take a breather, it will be a nice break, but I know I will be itching to get back into teaching. <br />
<br />
<br />
I decided to do a mixed media project with the students, it incorporated a little of everything. Our project was a moose in the moonlight. <br />
<br />
The students first completed the moose on brown bogus paper. I had templates for them to trace so their moose stayed in proportion with the paper. The first class I taught I allowed them to make their own moose, but for some students it was quite challenging and when they were done their moose was half the size and some even looked like snakes! So, I adapted the lesson for the remaining classes and made it a little easier for them. <br />
<br />
An hour is not a long time to complete something, so its very hard to go indepth with certain things. So, by giving them a template for them to trace of the moose, it relieved the pressure of having to teach them a drawing lesson as well. That way, they could focus more on the details of their background and moose. <br />
<br />
Once they traced it, the cut it out and added their details. They used a black sharpie to trace it and add the eyes and mouth. They then used chalk pastels to add dimension and shading. <br />
<br />
Next we worked on the background. I put on a demonstration on how to create the background and make a gradient of color using the white and blue. They then went to work to create their background and used the back of the brush to make the stars. <br />
<br />
The last step was to glue the moose on the top and position it correctly. It was a bit challenging for some believe it or not. Here is just a small, small, fraction of the results. As always, the class finished right up to the second, and just didnt have time to take pics. <br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

<br />
When I see something I like, I save it to my computer and look through my log of ideas and photos and try to see how I can change it and make it mine. Some of these images I have had for months, and sometimes even years, so I wish I could have given this artist some credit. <br />
<br />
I used her idea of tulips and incorporated it into a lesson for the students. I was a little skeptical trying it with them because chalk pastels are very tricky. They smudge alot, and if you are not careful it could end up like a big chalky mess. My little guys in the class can find this challenging, their first instinct is to rest their hand on their paper, so teaching them to hold it upright can be trying.<br />
<br />
Anyway, I am over the moon with the results. It was way better than I had expected and I have to give some of my girls recognition. Giovanna, you always make me proud. I love the blues you used in your work. Andrea, I cant stop thinking of how sad I am going to be when you take a break from art this session. This was your best work yet and I am so proud of you for concentrating and making one of the most beautiful pieces of work I have seen from a student in a long time. Bethany, gorgeous. Loved your colors, neatness, and blending. Great job. And my final compliment goes to Caroline! I cant believe that you are in first grade and did such an amazing job. It has made me so happy that you have accomplished such a hard project that is really made for a middle school child. You rock Caroline.<br />
