The studio was busy during the month of December. Classes made holiday themed art, kids had gift-making in mind during Open Studio and we also participated in a couple community events. Here are a few pictures I have to share…
class: Beginning Art (Age 6.5-9)
project: Glitter Winter Paintings (click image for large photo)

Students learned about abstract landscapes, composition, planning a design, monochromatic color, tints/shades; used acrylic paints, oil pens & glitter on 9x12 canvas board. This project took 3 sessions to complete.
what: Open Studio Re-cap
I usually don’t take many photos during Open Studio, but I snapped a few this month…

Gingerbread Lollipops, Free Card Swap, open-ended art & gift making, natural ornaments, recycled snowmen & more.
class: Little Picasso’s (Age 4-6 years)
project: Poinsettia Collage

Students used collage technique to make poinsettia pictures. Talked about how flower petals radiate from the center, worked on fine motor skills.
what: First Fridays Community Art Walk

The Girl Scouts had a homemade bake sale at the studio for December First Fridays. "Bixby Belle" stopped in with candy canes while the kiddos made holiday canvases.
