Germany and Cuckoo Clocks and Water Lilies Kids Art Lessons
Let me introduce you to Cassie Stephens of the blog series "What the Art Teacher wore" - find her HERE
Her quest for developing young artists and create art lessons that she shares with the world is beyond inspiring. This project is a nod to my home country Germany and you know I am going to give it a go.
Here is our nod to Monet and his water lilies - Enjoy friends.
Diego Rivera and the Study of Drawing People
One of the blogs that really inspired me to go for it in the area of teaching art classes to kids is Patty over at Deep Space Sparkle. Here is a lesson I am going to try for sure. My students are always interested in getting a chance to draw people and this seems like a nice intro lesson.
Here is a fun mixed media lesson that I have done many times and the students love it! They get to play with color by working with scrapbook paper and it helps invite any studnet who might be timid with color to give it a go.
Andy Warhol Poppies and Henri Matisse Fish Art Lessons
I am always on the lookout for projects that help create connections with famous artists - this one is a nod to Andy Warhol. I like the use of colors and I love the challenge of working with black paint.
Here is an art lesson that is inspired by Henri Matisse - enjoy!
Ducks and Gardens Kids Art Lessons
I came across this organization called Arts For Life
Check them out - this group brings art to kids who do not have the opportunity to take art classes. Having lived all over the United States, I know firsthand that there is still a HUGE disconnect on the value of creativity to INCREASE health, wellness and productivity. Make sure to check out how you can support this group.
Our contribution is to create TONS of art lesson videos online so that if you are not able to afford taking a class in person, you can do so for FREE. We now have over 65 videos and the goal is to get to 100 videos by June 2016. Spread the love please!
