Olympic Drawings

These kids are Olympic Artists! We decided to do our own Pen & Mouse Club House spin on the Olympics with some turtle shredding snowboarders. Then of course, they took the gold. The Club House Artists used their foreshortened circles to draw the turtles shredding up some snow. They made sure to tilt the horizon line to indicate that they where snowboarding down a steep slope. 



In their medal ceremony drawings they had to pay careful attention to alignment on their podium steps so their athletes wouldn't slip off.

A little bit of love

As we roll into February we couldn't help but to think about that special holiday, Valentine's Day. The Club House Artists started class out with designing their very own Valentine's Day cards complete with a rose in a glass vase. They learned how they could make flat every day objects 3D: a card that is slightly opened, a card standing up, and a card on it's sides like a tent.



Then the girls decided to draw some love birds in our little nest of baby birds. Some are not so lovey as they seem to be starving! "Mom, bring us some foooooood!"
