Workshops held over Thanksgiving and Christmas Breaks were full of learning and lots of fun! You can find photos of the Thanksgiving workshop on got art? ozark's facebook page. The December workshop pics will be up soon!
November focused on gift-giving projects! Art students were able to do a dozen or so different projects to give as gifts to family members for the holiday season! Vintage ornaments, stone magnets, button bookmarks, bird nest wire necklace, bird nest felted pin, stained glass votives, mod podged clothespin clips, recycled "junk" animals/creatures and wire/bead ornaments were all projects that were made in the three day workshop. Students came for 3 hours on 3 different days to learn more about types of art and art/craft techniques. Many enjoyed the mod podge technique!
December had three different types of workshops: older students could do a 3 day for 2 hours class on watercolor and/or a one-day for 2 hours on landscape/watercolor. Younger students spent class time learning about primary colors, color mixing and basci art concepts. Older students went through the entire process of learning how to plan a drawing, use materials and actually paint using "grown-up" watercolors (out of tubes, not the trays). They all enjoyed it and the parents ohh and ahh'd over the finished projects asking "They did this all by themselves?". The answer was YES! with a little guidance or direction.
Spring Break workshops will be organized next and possibly a weekly lesson time focusing on basic art skills and techniques. Let me know what you and your family might be interested in...
Also, if there are any groups of ladies that would like to host an art party in their home for a few hours let me know! I will bring supplies and projects to you based on your interests: crafty type projects, art techniques, famous artists, etc. Price will be based on number of participants and projects chosen.
I will get photos posted very soon of all our fun during the workshops!
