Winter 2013 Art Classes

Chinese Dragon Sculptures
These amazing dragons were made from Crayola Air Dry Clay and then painted with Acrylics and sprayed with a clear coat.  This has got to be the best way to learn and celebrate Chinese New Year!  The kids did an awesome job.  Here are a few examples but you can check out the entire gallery of students' work at:

Acrylic Artic Animals
These paintings were done on large pieces of poster board using the floor easels.  The kids always enjoy our easel projects each year.  Each class painted a different Artic animal using shades and tints of blues.  This type of painting is a great way to teach the kids how to mix colors and brush application technique.  Great job my amazing artists!  Check out the gallery at:
