Painting Wall Art

These wooden peace signs came from Big Lots.  The girls used acrylics and puff paint to make them pop!

COOL PEACE!

Clay

Catching up on posting some of our summer art projects.

Here are some cute clay projects the girls did on their own.

Underwater Watercolors

Cameron composes her underwater scene.  Fish, a crab, some coral, some rocks, a starfish, seaweed, and a few bubbles.






La-Li helps Marcella with her composition.









Marcella uses masking fluid to save some highlights on her bubbles.
Marcella's completed work. What pretty coral!




Cameron's work dries before we frame it.  Notice that cute little crab.

Tape It!

This summer the girls decided to replace "The Sunshine Shop" and lemonade stand from last year with a TAPE IT! stand.  They have been busy using Duck tape to create and cover all sorts of items.

Wall Sculpture

Believe it or not... these oblong pieces are made up of 1" cuts of paper towel rolls.  The girls and I painted them with acrylics; then we laid out our design on a table top.  The last step was to hot glue all these pieces together.





We used a few nails to hang it on the wall in the girls' room.  Lovely!

Abstract

This is Cameron's own design.  She used watercolors for the background:  cobalt blue, cerulean blue, and cobalt violet.  She used acrylics in similar shades for her foreground.  Her last step was some fun spattering!










Beautiful!
