Instructions

1.Take your piece of paper that you are using as the base for the project and write the child’s name on the back of the paper or let them write their names on their own.

 

2.This lesson has a directed drawing component to it.  Place your paper long side down on the table.  Draw a circle in the middle of the page. This will be the face of the owl in the middle.

 

 

3.   Draw stylized eyes, a beak and cheeks in the middle of the circle.   

    

 

2.    Add a “U” underneath the circle to be used as the body of the owl.   

 

3.    Add rounded triangles on each side of the body for the wings.  Add slim rectangles for the legs underneath the body.  Add geometric shapes to the body and wings similar to the ones seen in the sample painting.

4.    Draw an owl on the left of this owl -this one with the beak on top of the circle.

 

5.    Draw the owl on the right with the beak on the left side of the circle. 

 


6.    Here is another sample of the markings to use on the owls.   

 

7.    Paint your drawing.

Creativity and Movement: Craft Kits Coming Soon....




At the last couple of parties we hosted, we have gotten requests from the mommas to have craft kits made of a project that their kiddos wanted to do AFTER the party.  

SOOO... we decided that soon we will start offering craft kits similar to the ones you may have seen on Pinterest.  We will of course offer our own flair on these projects and hope to reveal them right here on June 15.

Stay tuned!

Creativity and Movement: Planning an Art Party for a 9 year Old Girl? Let us Help you!







Did you know that we can CUSTOM DESIGN your child's artist party?  Based on your child's interest, age group, gender and creativity level.  

It is what we LOVE to do.  

Help each child find his/her place of artistic joy.

This is a sample of what we do.  We had a mother contact us for her 9 year old girl's artist party,  We came of with 4 different creativity projects for her to choose from.  We delight in the collaboration as much as the party!
