Butterlies.....

Curly Girl had to do a report on a major artist. She choose Dali from the list....not because he was her favorite...but because he hadn't been picked!

We searched some of his works and although most were of his surrelistic period, she found one she loved of these butterflies....


Here is her tray....she is very proud of it.


The main thing she learned in studying Dali is that he liked to surprise the eye by reversing shadows...which you can see in the image and the tray.....

Darlin' Dalmations....

Curly Girl drew a couple dalmations.....both totally different from one another...


This one she did last night...she was thinking of the more stylized dalmations from the Disney movie 101 Dalmations.....

Self-Portrait

Curly Girl did a self portrait Tuesday night. It took her about an hour.....with 30 minutes devoted to her hair! She was so proud of it. It brought tears to my eyes.
Here is a close up..look at the detail of her curls...


And here she is holding the photo.


There are some differences but for her first attempt.....you GOTTA give her kudos!

Sweet.......

Here is Curly Girl's latest.....just in time for Easter!

Silk painting....

Curly Girl did some silk hankie painting in class the other day. This little fox turned out sooooooo cute. She actually 'drew' the fox with elmer's glue and then let it dry. Then she painted the fox and tree trunk in afterwards. Once everything was dried, I hand washed the hanky and removed the glue.

Cute, huh!

Spring

This is Spring. I think this is one of my all time favorites that Curly Girl has done......


Here is a close up for Spring's sweet, fluffy face.......

Lovely Ladybug........

Here is the toy Curly Girl made for the Toy Society drop. She came up with the idea by herself and then sewed it all together....with just a little help.
