1. New Art Stations

Introducing our brand new art stations!

I’ve been hard at work the past few weeks readying some Little Scribbler sized tables and an easel for our classes. Everything was re-purposed, and started out in rough shape. I think you will agree that they turned out really cute:

I bought 2 1980’s style TV tables from Goodwill- One was painted cherry red and will be our sculpture table. The other has a chalkboard finish and the kiddos can draw right on the table surface.

I also repainted an easel with chalk board paint and some more cherry red. I’ll be adding clamps next week to hold children’s artwork in place so we will also be able to use it to paint!

Here they are in the BCA space:

2. Bakery Art

In class this week we created bakery art, learned about the profession of Baker and the yummy creations they make. Our Scribble Kids created collage portraits of Bakers holding their wares.

First we learned all about proportion and how to correctly place features when drawing the face. The students were to place their eyes half-way down the face, with the eyebrows slightly above them. It’s amazing what placement can do to make things look more realistic! We also added a ‘connecting shape’ to our circle faces to create the jaw.

Then we added chef hats and bodies for our characters. The kids had great fun creating textured eyebrows. I was surprised there were no mustaches in this class.

After gluing the head and shoulders down on 12×18″ paper, we added arms to the characters. Then there was a hand drawing demo that was challenging for some children, but they will get it with practice! Finally we added plates with hand drawn delicious baked goods.

Here are our final artworks!
