Funky Little Toadstool Houses
The kids in our Draw/Paint/Sculpt class had so much fun designing and creating these little toadstool house. They used some old plastic bottles as the foundation and then added paper clay to create the houses. They started designing them on paper first and then painted away. These are SO cute and would make a wonderful little village.

Thursday's Classes Have Begun!
We had a great afternoon Thursday with another set of new classes and clubs. The younger group in Art 101 started the session with a little line practice and exercises. This class is focused on the elements and principles of design. They will be doing projects using various mediums and focused on predetermined elements.
Book Club is starting this session with the book Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of Nimh. We read the first chapter during our meeting. Using the wonderfully detailed descriptions of the story, the group created multi-media collages depicting the home of the Frisby family. They used all natural materials found outside such as sand for the stone and grasses and feathers for the bed. They turned out really neat and the kids didn't want to stop. I love doing these projects so the kids can get that sense of realism they can touch out of their readings.
Don't forget to sign up for the Mom's Night Out for Tuesday! Also, we will start getting some of our gift items in this week so stay tuned for some yummy, creativity conjuring gift ideas for the kids and by the kids!

Busy, Busy, Busy!
We had a class-filled afternoon at the studio this afternoon. The PreK-K classes started back up today along with our new Geography Society. It will definitely be a hit!
In PreK-K Art, we made mixed up magazine collages. Isn't it fun to see what comes of putting together various features from all different people. It turns out quite wacky! You can also do it with all different photographs of the same person. Kind of a unique and crazy memoir!
This week we did PreK-K Math and learned about the whole and parts of the whole by making our own puzzles. The kids drew pictures that covered the entire piece of paper and decided how they wanted it divided up. They figured out the more pieces you have, the harder it is to put back together! This is a neat idea if your kids like to make birthday cards and such. They make the card on a single side of cardstock and cut it up for the recipient to put together!
The Geography Society started off by making their notebooks and made their first graphic folder to put in it. We talked about the Earth's surface and the imaginary lines that divide it up. They showed what they had learned in their folder. Their notebooks are going to be a great tool to show others what they have learned. Each time they show it off, it refreshes their memory!
Check out our calendar to see what classes and events are coming up. Be sure to reserve your spot for this Sundays Holiday Card Making and Tuesday evening Mom's (or any adult!) Night Out. We will be making some cool "treasure" boxes to put your holiday cards or other treasures in. Grab your girlfriends and join us for a productive night out!

New Classes Started Today!
Our Winter Session started at the studio today. It's not to late to join us. If you missed the classes today, we can just prorate the session or join us for another class!
In Masters of Art with the younger crew we took a look at Van Gogh's works and tried out our own versions of The Starry Night with acrylics. They are using only primary colors along with black and white so they will become comfortable with creating their own colors.
The Science Club will be working on Mechanical Physics this 10 week session. It sounds like a lot, but they are excited about making some simple machines and using them for lots of experiments!

Working on frottage is a new experience for most in the Drawing and Painting class. They took various rubbings and are using them to create a sort of collage. It is cool to be able to use things around and see them in a different way. This is a great class for older kids who have gone through our drawing classes or for adults wanting to try out some new stuff.
