claro oscuro

hello...
I hope you've enjoyed your weekend...
I do feel bad I haven't visited this past couple of weeks...Life is crazy at the moment...I am juggling way too many balls...
I have been concentrating on our Mamas and Chicks Show which is in 5 days!
On Saturday I had my second Art Class "Learn to Draw"....this week we concentrated on proportioning and Claro Oscuro...otherwise known as Light and Dark. (mine is the top image...and the student you see working away was working on her second one in the middle image) They did really well for their first time working with charcoal...you have to remember to not mess up the white of the image...keep it clean...a little like watercolours!
I have to go...I'm off to make Tooth Fairy Pillows.
hugs to you all.
I'll post my progress throughout the week...and you'll have to forgive me if I am not visiting this week again...each second is precious!

a humming Sunday...

I know many, many of you don't just live around the corner...BUT if you do...be sure to check out my Saturday Art Classes.


So this is what I've been doing the majority of the day...who would have known that figuring out and planning could take ALL day!?


Hope you've had a glorious weekend.

round-up

I feel so blessed to be able to share with you all and have such heartfelt comments in return...thank you for visiting,reading and following our Summer Art Camp...and ofcourse our Blog.

We were so fortunate as well to have had just 1  rainy camp day...but were still able to sneak a 20 minute walk in!

I have learnt so much this Summer and now know that my Campers need to LOVE Art to participate in our Camp...it's not just a daycare...if you know what I mean.

Also, I am increasing the minimum age to 7 next year. 5 is WAY too young...even though Miss J could do everything,she really surprised me in a good way.

Some days were a challenge...but we got through them...and there were FAR more great days than not so great ones.

I'm setting up Saturday classes...and they will be drawing and painting classes...not a daycare drop off so that parents can get chores done!BUT I'm sure it would be a BONUS if their kids loved Art and would want to enroll them.

We have 2 more days of Art Camp...then a lovely long weekend...and Tuesday is School for our beauties.

I'll probably post a few more pictures of today's classes. Then it'll be back to "Char's" work...which I have to catch up on!

So...how was your Summer overall?

Have a fabulous Thursday and HAPPY SEPTEMBER!

I'll be back with a "Craft it Forward" which I saw on Kerry's Blog this morning but didn't get in on it...so I'm doing my own!
