Roberto Britto

Here are the girls posing with a Britto sculpture onboard the Freedom of the Seas.
When we took the girls on a Royal Caribbean cruise last April, there was a Britto shop on-board.  The girls were instantly drawn to the pop artist from Brazil. 


 We bought a coloring book, but recently the girls decided to create their own homage to Britto with canvas board and acrylics.

Original Books


Back in October, the girls wrote their own books about the artwork that they have done this year. 

Crazy Cats

The girls were inspired by an artist at Arts in the Heart of Augusta last September. They painted with acrylics on a stretched canvas.  Great backgrounds, too!  
 
   Aren't these crazy cats cute??

Collage...Decoupage...

With an American Girl theme, Cameron made this collage:




 Marcella decided to decoupage a box for her treasures. 




Then, both girls decided that these would make great wall art for their American Girls' bedrooms.

 

Elements of Art


The girls explored line, space, shapes, and color combinations with these acrylic creations.

Painting Wall Art

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

COOL PEACE!
