Art Class

This fall the girls have been taking an art class. They attend the art class at the Riverside Art Museum, and their Charter School pays for it!

The art class that they attend is called Kids Open Studio. They go to class each Thursday evening for 1 1/2 hours. The first part the teacher introduces a new painting and concept. She talks about it and then does a real quick demonstration. Then the kids make something using that technique or concept taught.

After they complete that project the kids are then free to use whatever supplies they have to create whatever they want. They have paper, markers, paints, crayons, colored pencils, clay, all kinds of stuff!

The girls love it!

Emma made a bowling ball out of clay, they leave the clay there to dry
and then paint them the next week.


Mia's project, she's using the shape markers to make shape designs.

Wow, that is pretty cool! I've never heard of anything like that but how great for them to do a project somewhere that you don't have to clean up!:) Pretty awesome! Good job girls
