Organic Art!

Last week I had the privilege of assisting the art teacher at the elementary school. 

Had a blast! I didn't want to leave...

She probably wanted to kick me out 

because I kept lingering in awe of what the kids created.

They were studying organic lines 

and the art teacher taught the technique of 

not only making wiggly lines not able to be measured 

running off the sides of the page 

but she also taught them how to make the lines go over and under other lines. 

Very cool. 

It was challenging for some, easy for others, yet I marveled at how quickly they caught on.

William had already told his friends I am an artist so many kept asking me to do it for them.

With only guidance and encouragement from me they did it and even incorporated autumn words 

into the organic design...a word that makes them think of fall/autumn. 

Just look and see what they came up with...

leaf

color

candy

ghost

The next step is to trace them with a black Sharpie, 

then use colorful markers to fill in the outside areas. 

Can't wait to see the finished results!

Now these were examples the art teacher showed the kids. 

These were done by kids a bit older that these 4th graders. 

and in some cases they used action words like

jump

and shout

Fun to try at home too!

I want to make organic art, don't you?

Have a great weekend sweet readers!

Fingers crossed the designer page for Multiple Blessings should go live 

Friday night if all goes well. 

Pop over here this weekend and if you're super organized 

and already have a good photo, you can order your Christmas photo cards 

and in some cases matching gift tags, address labels, thank you notes, and mint tins!

and invitations

My entire collection is in the Studio Basics Collection.

soooooooooooooooo many to choose from!
