Art Class at Home

Ahh the joys of having a friend with a talent...smile! I asked Lisa if she would mind running a few art classes for our home school group. Our first class was 'Making A Collage'.

The children could either choose a photo of themselves and enhance the collage with things they liked, hobbies, souvenirs etc, etc... or they could choose a subject of any kind and use bits and pieces to reinforce their concept.



Both Pernella & Charlie decided to choose a subject instead of a photo...


No surprise that Pernella went with the reptile theme... it really looks effective with how she has used the stones, twigs, leaves and cut out reptiles...





And I can't say I am surprised with Charlie's choice of subject either - skeletons and a grave yard - big grin!




It was a great morning - fun to explore another genre of art... next month we are doing charcoal sketching.

You are doing a awesome job and your kids are really reaping the benefits

Those are great collages. I could surely see my boys making the graveyard pictures. Very fun project.
