A fresh group

Today we had a couple new Club House members join the club. We quickly reviewed a handful of "tool box" words to get them started. When I asked for ideas for what we could turn a cube into the first idea was present. This is a good practice drawing to start with when first learning how to draw in 3D so I always like this choice. 

I love the details in these drawings. It's fun to see the patterns they come up with and who will they put on the gift tag? Next, we continued a cube discovery journey and decided to draw a birdhouse. Drawing the cube became easier to this time around. They also learned how to put a roof on a cube that looks stable enough to hold the rest of the house in the tree by it's tiny little hook.

Are you my mother?

When looking at today's baby dinosaur drawings, I'm reminded of the book, "Are you my mother?" We used foreshortened circles to draw an egg that had been cracked opened by our baby T-Rex.

Most of this class has never drawn a foreshortened square. The Club House Artists learned how to use their guide dots to start their foreshortened square and they turned it into a stone. They also learned about "size", another tool box word. They also created a Flintstone inspired drawing. To demonstarte size, we drew a large dinosaur that took up most of the page. Then we drew a much smaller dinosaur behind our large one creating a sense of space.

Some super awesome dinos Club House Artists!
