A lesson on Line and Movement

Addison created this beautiful FLOWER in the wind!!






Hello!! So as most of you know, when I'm not raising my mini- me monster or designing and constructing monsters, I teach a few classes at the Arts Castle in Delaware, Ohio. If you've never been, you should go. It's lovely.

The class that is showcased today is my Kids Creations Class B. They range from 3-6 years old and are just super sweet!! Today we had our first class and talked about the importance of line. The kids made foil and yarn drawings where they "focused" on line, as opposed to color or shapes.

Oliver (top, in blue) calls this piece, Mountains.

This Squid creature was created by Patrig.

The students looked at a book about the importance of line, physically drew in the air, which prepared them for this project . They then used yarn and glue on foam core to "draw". A piece of foil was placed shiney side down and pressed/burnished with fingers til yarn was well defined.

This work is by SEAN, he tells me that this is his, DESIGN

Briona is the artist of this ROAD painting!!

Black Acrylic paint was added and lightly brushed off to define foil texture and yarn lines. Then colored acrylic paint was used to add details or an extra design element. I thought the kids did a great job and it was impressive to see them really think about how they laid down their lines and how they entitled their work!!

Check back again soon!! That bag will get done eventually!!
