more school "work"

I forgot to post this for Curly Girl.....It is my new favorite.....okay, so everything she does is my favorite.  But couldn't you just see this on a t-shirt?

I could....and I would wear it!  I think it would be lovely.  BTW, this is an original sketch so no using it for your own.  Feel free to link back though......

Baby Pearl

Baby Pearl Camelia drawn for a local competition....

album cover

Kaela had to design an album cover in her art class using an existing one as inspiration.

She loves Maroon Five so used their latest....."Overexposed"

as inspiration to create this....

pretty neat, huh!?

a rose is a rose

Kaela's art teacher is out on maternity leave. When the new teacher started, she had everyone in the class paint a picture. I'm sure it was to give her an idea of where they all are artistically.

Kaela drew something GORGEOUS and quite full of colorful flowers but her full name is incorporated into the painting so I can only post a small part of it.

I wish I could share the rest, it is lovely.

ROAR!

Kaela's school mascot is the tiger so for the last big art project of the 9 weeks, her teacher assigned everyone in class a tiger to draw.

Kaela found a picture and put it on her desk but when she turned her back, it somehow ended up on another girl's desk......hmmm.
She wasn't happy but didn't want to make a stink so she chose another picture.

It was a more difficult pose of a tiger lying down with his head on his legs. The hardest part was getting the ruff around his head right because part of it is hidden under his leg.

Once done, she was very pleased with how it turned out. Her smile pretty much says it all.



what a pretty kitty!

Minnie goes to school....

Kaela had to do something to decorate the front of her art journal....so she choose Minnie....cute!

a tree grows.......

a little drawing Curly Girl did on her last day of classes before summer.

Bamboo 'pens'

Curly Girl's last day in art was Monday. She is pretty bummed about it because she was really enjoying the class.
I have her enrolled in art this Summer though.....and she wants me to teach her how to make mosaics and crochet and sew.........she is getting ambitious!

She made these neat Bamboo pens and then got to draw with them. She said it was kind of difficult using the pen at first. She asked me to buy her some ink so she can practice over the Summer..........

Fantasy sketch

Every other week in her class, Curly Girl's classroom teacher has 'art.'
She usually only gives one or two directions. She mainly tries to keep the uninterested kids quiet and settled while the ones who love art 'create.'
The directions for this particular Friday were simple. Draw a fantasy creature.

This is what our Curly Girl came up with. Pretty neat..........

Amos the mouse....

This is a picture our curly girl drew for a class assignment from the book "Ben and Me." The book is written from a mouse's perspective about Benjamin Franklin.
This particular drawing is where Amos is shocked during the lightning and kite experiments Ben did.
I really love the detail she did with this one. She was really proud of how well the mouth turned out.....so realistic!
BTW, if you click on the picture it will enlarge so you can see the detail better....
