Hawaiian Luau
An imaginary journey to the Islands provides bright and colorful inspiration for two little surfer girls who are also neighbors and best friends - one of whom will be moving with her family back to the West Coast over the summer. Therefore, an art vacation was just the ticket for a memorable time together.
The theme for this week was a surfing trip to the Islands which highlighted our love for the ocean and things related to the beach.
PROJECT ONE
Hand built pottery surfboards and pottery wall hooks.
 |
| Cut out surfboard shapes from a slab of clay and smooth edges of surfboard design. |
 |
| With tropical themed cookie cutters, create out clay designs and attach them to the surfboard. |
 |
| Set clay surfboard and wall hooks aside to dry then fire in the kiln. |
 |
| Paint fired pieces with non-toxic pottery glazes, then refire in the kiln. |
 |
| Kiln fired and ready to hang. |
PROJECT TWO
Romero Britto Beach Painting
 |
| Sketch beach design onto 16x20 inch canvas. |
 |
| Outline all shapes with a black sharpie. Using bright, tropical colors add paint to the canvas. |
 |
| Enjoy the company of your best friend as you paint something special together. |
 |
