Today was the last of this set of kids art journaling classes. The last 4 weeks has flown by! This set was called 'Bring on the Colour' and was designed to add colour to our lives while the grass was still all brown and the snow was still hanging around! It has been fun experimenting with all kinds of ways of adding colour to our pages!
Today we had a lot of MESSY fun - and as you can see, Rosie was hiding under the table at one point:
She does LOVE the classes though as she gets soooo much love and attention from all the children who come here - and she is so sweet natured and good - they all want to take her home!
One of the art techniques we did today was using marbles to roll paint across the paper...it created really nice effects on the paper that the children could then dry and cut up to create collages in their journals or use as backgrounds for their pages:
The rest of my day was spent admiring Sams Lego building as he works through his 'Lego Ideas' book we borrowed from the library - I picked up some more Lego from my dealer at the Antiques Mall on the weekend and he has been using that. We also all watched some videos online of art techniques we can try:
This is sooooo true:
While I was on Pinterest looking for activities for us to do and for class ideas, I came across this house - I really like the idea of letting the trees grow closer to the house and having less lawn to take care of. I think it would shelter the house from the wind too as this house really does get hit by the wind. I really want to put new windows in - at least upstairs this year:
Thought this was funny:
Love this:
Excited about our busy day tomorrow - so much happening and so much to look forward to :)
