KIDS MAKE ART. What have we been up to!

What a fabulous time we having been having at Kids Make Art.

Here are some amazing pieces your young artists have been working on.

Exploring Tree Forms

Looking at basic tree shapes. 

How they grow.

How you might say that in a picture.

How you might say that with paint?

AND WE ALSO PLAYED WITH FIRE & CHARCOAL

Experimenting with Charcoal and Trees

Experimenting with Charcoal and Trees

We did 2 sessions exploring charcoal. In this one we talked about how charcoal came from burnt willow sticks. And how we can make some really exciting and different marks with it. Had some fun with basic shapes & lines as a warm up then got into drawing a burning forest.  

Experimenting with Charcoal and Trees

Loved that everyone got the irony of this project and then went on to make some very unique beautiful art.

AND THEN WE

Experimented with Charcoal and subtractive drawing

What a hoot we had here. 

Instead of adding the charcoal to make a drawing we had to take it away or subtract the image out of the dark. Working hard with rubbers, rags, paper stumps and even old bread, we pulled our still life image out of the dark and into the light.….So much mess and so much fun

And even mastering the basic concepts of Still-Life in this project.

What clever young artists you all are!

After Paul Klee

Here the students were exploring not only a great artist but grids, text and poems in art, pattern, composition, colour just to name a few elements that make art amazing.

Such beautiful work at the end of each art session. 

The kids proudly hang their work on the wall and stand back to view and look at the great stuff they have achieved. 

You mini artists rock!

This is only a tincy bit of these guys art work.

So many wonderful pieces to see at our end of year exhibition.
