Gingerbread Treats

The Club House Artists finished out the year with some gingerbread treats. They learned how to turn a 2D object into a 3D object by adding thickness and shading. We used the gingerbread person as an example. First they drew a flat 2d gingerbread person. Then they added thickness to the left side. To finish the drawing they added shading, shadows, and the horizon line.

Next we practiced our house building skills by drawing a Gingerbread house. They really enjoyed coming up with the different candies to decorate it with. I believe this was a low calorie, less mess way! Enjoy the holidays and keep drawing!

Everyone's dream holiday machine!

It's every parent's dream holiday machine. A present wrapping machine! The Club House Artists focused on making sure the objects they place on their boxes followed the contour lines of the box. Contour line was an important tool box word today. Oh, and Grandma must love these kids because she sent five more packages by post.

Our First Art Show!

The Club House Artists have worked so hard to prepare for the first Club House art show. They were all pleased to see their artwork matted and hung at the Village Hall. The parents were excited too. We're hoping to have many more art shows to come. This will most likely be up for the rest of this month. Go check it out if you haven't!

Holiday Spirit

Boy, it was sure nice drawing with the Club House Artists again. I missed them during the Thanksgiving break. We decided to get into the holiday spirit by warming up with a drawing of the present that grandmother sent us. All wrapped up in brown packing paper sitting on our doorstep. Can you imagine what she sent?

While we were in the present drawing mode we switched over to the North Pole and checked out how the Elves wrapped their presents. They use a super cool wrapping machine to wrap all the presents for santa.

The machines were having technical difficulties so the repair Elf had to step in and correct the issue. See if you can find him in the bottom of the machine?
