Let's Make Some Art!

Monday nights the older kids get busy! Tonight we used multiple foam core and mounted them together. Then we placed various kinds of paper all over it to create a very cool 3D piece. A. and E. were very pleased with their work as was I. P.S. thanks to their Mom for the delicious Honey Crisp apples, I had one right after class, yum!

Passport to Preschool Week Three and Four

We started our third week of P2P with two books, A Tree is Nice and The Giving Tree (one of my favorites). The children were able to sculpt their own tree with the boy in the book. We let them experiment with model magic. This is a great product because they can manipulate it, draw on it and glue things to it. As you can see from the pictures they were really engaged in sculpting these subjects. The story really came to life this morning!

Next was the letter B and the color blue. Children made their own blue pieces of art and then of course there were bubbles..


















Week Four started with the letter C and the CRAZY elephant named Elmer. We also talked about rectangles and the color yellow! It was a busy week but these students were on top of it.

"it is fall"

So it is Fall isn't it!? This evening we had a great deal of fun painting trees, making leaves out of crayon shavings and wax paper, using oil pastels to draw details on leaves and much more. Our Magical Creations L2 class did a great job assembling their mobiles with the leaves they created. Nice tribute to the season...

Passport To Preschool - Week One and Two

This week we welcomed students to our new program: Passport to Preschool (P2P). All the children were busy making their own personal boxes, cube pictures, painting their forms, painting with watercolor ice cubes at the light table, and making moon sand.

We read some books that introduced us to our lesson and helped us all get to know each other better. Here are just some pictures from the first day. See you all next week!











Week Two:
We started with the letter A and began by reading The Alphabet Tree by Leo Lionni. A great book that teaching the idea of letters that make up words and words that make sentences. In addition our shape of the day was a triangle and color of the day was green. The children were so busy today time flew by! From making "A"lligators to making Green dough, we had a blast. Can't wait until next week!

Various work at the studio

It will be our one year anniversary on October 22nd and we've accumulated a lot of artwork. I took some pictures to showcase the talent and creativity of the many children that grace our studio.
