.....and believe it, so am I!
I've been traveling up and down the school hall with a cart full of art supplies stopping in each class to inject healthy doses of paint, ink, glue, paper and whatever else I can think of. Below was the seventh grade's interpretation of Romare Beardon's collage art piece "Three Women." I knew all those scrapbook paper packs I'd been hoarding would come in handy one day.
What's scarier than a group of 14 year-old students wielding paintbrushes?
Answer: I'll tell you what's scarier than a bunch of 14 year-olds wielding paintbrushes: a bunch of 14 year-olds wielding SPRAY PAINT CANS! But didn't they do a great job with their abstract sculptures? This was the eighth grade's last art project before they graduated.
Tucked inside the vintage painted folio below are pages holding tag art dolls - all with original painted faces that I've been working on over the past few weeks. I'm pretty excited about my leap into drawing my own faces to use with my tag art! I'll share them with you in the coming days. But you can get a glimpse of one of the tags at the very top of this post.
The Tag Art Project is a class I'll be teaching on Saturday, June 29th over at Stampin' From the Heart in Los Angeles. If you're interested in taking the class, e-mail me for more information.
As much as I've enjoyed preparing art lessons and watching them evolve at the hands of children ranging in age from 4 - 14, it feels good to be free to create my own personal stuff. Hope you can join me for some fun next Saturday!
