I Scream, You Scream, We all Scream for ICECREAM!

It just sounded so good today to have a HUGE ice cream sundae. We talked about how to use boxes to create vehicles, like an ice cream truck. I mentioned it was like we were sculpting a truck out of a block of wood. One Club House Artist got really excited as he started to notice how the box was turning into a truck. He said it was "COOL!"

 

The ice cream sundaes were delicious! Thanks Ice Cream Truck!

Let's take a Vacation!

It's April and it's snowing so the Club House Artists and I drew the good old family truckster and loaded up the top rack with our luggage and we were OFF!

Luck of the Irish

The Club House Artists had a test today. I asked them to draw the pot of gold for the lephercaun. They all did really well except one thing was missing from each drawing to really make the pots look 3D. Thickness. They all forgot to add thickness to the rim of their pots. This was a good exercise so I could see what we need to focus more on. I may do this more often. 

 

I love the next group of drawings. We haven't explored much with vehicles, so I thought it would be fun to start to show them how to draw 3D cars, vans, trucks, etc. We started out with the easiest -- the bus. The Club House Artists added character to them with eyes and mouths. 

Here are the homework drawings for this week:

A message from God by A: God told the princess she needed to eat more fruit in her diet. That night the princess decided she would try but she wasn't too happy about it. The painting in the background is of the princess and her prince and their little baby.

Phil was left in charge by E:Phil was left in charge of his little sister. He decided to go and drink all the Sprite cans, a glass of milk, and then the cookies. He forgot to feed his dog.
