Spring has sprung!

Spring fever has hit the Club House Artists. Chicks and chocolate bunnies filled their heads so we did what any artist would do, we drew them!







 Sandy squirrel was such a hit with my one class that we decided to draw her in all of my classes. And because we were thinking of squirrels it brought us around to talking about dogs and dog houses. The jelly fish are a perfect example of "size."

Under the Sea Fun

Tonight the Club House Artists learned about "action lines" when we drew our kissing orcas. They started the drawing with an action line so the orcas would show lots of movement. I think they drew much better orcas than their teacher today. Secondly, we had fun drawing more jellyfish but added Sandy Squirrel, SpongeBob's friend. She's having a blast riding the jellies. Her body was a good example of a cylinder.

Rockets!!

Let's celebrate our awesome rocket drawings with an awesome cake drawing! With each new group I always enjoy the cake drawing. It's such an easy drawing to teach and looks so advance and nice. The kids like drawing cakes for homework after they come back from this session. It's fun to see what types of cakes they come up with.









Still Life

I gave the Club House Artists a test. I arranged a still life on the table and asked them to draw it without help from me. They did really well. :-)



More Bananas

We had so much fun drawing bananas yesterday and the dragon in the mailbox that my Thurs. night crew drew the same thing. This dragon is being mailed to Germany!



Here are their drawings from the previous two classes. Two talented young ladies.

King Banana

We had a fun little class today. We decided to get silly and draw a banana. The King Banana! He was happy he wasn't going to be eaten. Toolbox words: Thickness, Action Lines, Shading, Shadow




Then we tried to mail a dragon. Isn't he cute? Toolbox words: Foreshortened, Overlapping, Shadow, Shading, Texture
