Watercolor Poppies!! Last week we made watercolor poppies. It's one of those lessons that turns out beautiful and unique for each student. Most of my lessons are drawing based so it's nice to do a painting based project. I had everyone draw simple poppy flowers then use a variety of watered down acrylics for the background and flowers. I love the accidental color blends and drips created when painting wet into wet. We finished off our poppies with oil and chalk pastel. Enjoy!!
Last Friday was our "Box Troll" Art Show at Foxy Loxy Print Gallery and Cafe! So much fun!! The kids were 100% dedicated to their box trolls and stayed engaged through out the 3-4 weeks it took to make them. Our box trolls were made out of Celluclay with beans and pasta added for character (we did have a few sewn box tolls in the mix). For the most part we only sculpted a head and torso since they wear boxes. I had a "junk box" that students could choose from when decorating. Check out our finished box trolls and shots from the show!!
