A Fantasmic Night of Drawing

I was listening to the radio today and they were making an announcement about an area orchestra that was going to perform songs from Harry Potter and Fantasia. The rest of the day I had Sorcerer Mickey on the brain which gave me an idea for our next drawing session.

I first had the club house artists watch "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" from Fantasia. We talked about the shapes of the buckets, shading, and the shadows. We also talked about how Mickey's hat was basic shapes put together.

So off we went to the drawing tables to draw objects from Fantasia. We started off with a warm up drawing of Mickey's hat. We talked about using folds and overlapping to make the hat seem more 3D. (click on images to enlarge them.)

Then we were ready to draw the brooms carrying the water buckets. The girls were able to quickly draw the buckets since they are masters of foreshortened circles now and then we worked on the broom. I personally did not like putting faces on the brooms. The ones in the movie did not have a face and I liked that, BUT. . .when you have three girls in the same room together they change things and they all added faces. They said they thought it looked cute with a face. Oh well. . . pretty neat drawings again!

The girls also received their certificates for completing the first session. Which now makes them official Pen & Mouse Club House Artists! They were excited. They should be as they are the first members!
