Seniors & Teachers Paint

Opened up new opportunities after school for Seniors & Teachers.  Seniors can bring a teacher along for an art activity or they can just show up and make art side by side.  So far we have made ceramic ring dishes and had a painting session.

Lots of giggles and memories

The teacher (me) poured white glaze into the bottom of the dish (upper left).  Instead of an inner glow (the goal) there is just a random white blob!

Look at the brush strokes, the colors and the movement in these beautiful paintings made by "Non-Painters"  This made my day!

Fractal Like Photoshop Tutorial

Created a new Photoshop Tutorial today.  Had to merge a few different ideas found online with ideas of my own. Definitely needs work but happy to have a new lesson.

Five Minute Drawings

This week I decided to Illustrate a recipe.  It is another way to utilize a series of quick daily sketches

Five Minute Drawings

Student:  What are we doing next time in art?

Me:  You tell me

Student:  Making dogs in high heels

Me:  Okay

Wait til he sees this sketch of his dog in high heels

Book Fair Bulletin Board

Pressed for time, Yes

Need to prioritize, Yes

But I love the Book Fair and everything about it

Sure, there are some rushed flaws and it could be more creative

Pretty proud that it was done in 20 minutes
