Saturday Fun

Have I mentioned how awesome the location is for my Saturday Club House Artists? I love it there. Sometimes I wish I had more time to just sit at the windows and stare at the water.

But I don't have all the time in the world to slow down on a Saturday. Sigh. Instead we draw. Check out my awesome newbie's work of art!

Legoman Army

This week was full of hundreds of drawings by my students. It was overwhelming to see so many kids draw so well with one lesson. There were three themes, presents, tiki huts, and Lego people.

My Wednesday class had a special challenge this week. I had them take the same basic drawing of the Lego man and change it into a different object. They choose a newspaper stand. This was a great exercise to show them how easy it is to draw anything by using the same basic 3D shapes.

 

Hello Lego Friends

Hello Pen & Mouse Club House Artists! Blogging has been hard lately because the blogging software has been acting funny on my computer. I can't figure out if I have a virus or if my web browser is not liking the idea of blogging? So please be patient with any wacky layouts or weird looking entries.

The Club House Artists explored Legoland today. They took their knowledge and I had them tell me how to draw a 3D lego block. We used our basic 3D shapes that we've been drawing for many weeks now and it was very easy for them to draw a realistic looking lego block on their page. One Club House Artist even said, "WOW, it's like it's just sitting on my sketchbook!"

Next, we drew our Legoland friends. For homework the Club House Artists are to draw more Lego friends. I'm interested in seeing what they come up with.
