After School Art Enrichment Program</h3>
<h4 style="text-align: left;">
For my first art project of the new Art Enrichment Program at a local Montessori school I had students work with clay to create a collection of handmade pottery fish. During lesson one the children hand cut their fish shapes from a slab of clay. They added eyes, fins, scales and an array of fishy details. I took the clay fish home and kiln fired them to a bisque state. During lesson two, the children painted their artwork with non-toxic glazes. The fish were kiln fired once more and a saw tooth hanger was added to the back. </h4>

<h4>
For our first art project the artists created a terrarium from a slab of clay. We discussed vessels that can be used and what can grow inside a container. Armed with this information the artists drew, cut out and applied over a slab of rolled out
clay a paper terrarium pattern. The boys and girls traced around the shape, cutting through the clay with pencils, to form the foundation of their terrarium design. They assembled rocks, plants, bugs and
creatures from
left over clay that were then applied to the clay base. </h4>

To begin their teacup painting on a 16x20 inch canvas, the artists drew three consecutive circles which formed the basic shapes
of a saucer, teacup and tea. Multiple coats of paint were applied to the negative space to create a sense of depth with color, value and texture.</h4>

As a prompt for our first project we discussed various forms of sea
life. Afterward the artists sketched a fishbowl shape on card stock which
was cut and placed on top of a slab of clay. With a pencil students
traced the pattern cutting through the clay as they went. An
assortment of ocean dwelling creatures were built from clay scraps, then
scored, slipped and squished to the fishbowl. The fishbowls were set
aside to dry then fired in my kiln.</h4>

With thoughts of plant life, vegetables and flowers, the artists sketched and painted a bisque garden stake. Afterwards, the stakes were fired in my kiln to a lovely glossy ceramic state - perfect for planting in an outdoor garden or container. </h4>

We began the wild life painting project with a discussion of the whimsical artwork of <a href="http://pinterest.com/elihalpin/stretched-canvas-prints-of-my-paintings/"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Eli Halpin</span></a><span id="goog_566184127"></span><span id="goog_566184128"></span>.
This was followed by the artists sketching an animal of their choice
onto a 16x20 inch canvas.</h4>

The artists selected the main color of their animal. The chosen color was painted first, then layers of other colors were added on top. To duplicate the playful look of Eli Halpin's animals, the girls added a pattern of color to the ears, beak or stomach and gave their animals rosy pink cheeks.</h4>

This is the first summer I've moved my art class out onto the front
porch and I don't know why it took me so long ~ especially when clay is
involved. We create, make a mess, enjoy the fresh air, then the porch
is hosed off with a little water. Simple, yet effective. Hello brain, where have you been?!</h4>

Hand drawn shape patterns applied over a slab of rolled out clay and cut out with pencils formed the foundation of the artists cake design. Left over clay was cut, rolled, scored, slipped and squished on top much like fondant icing. </h4>

Cake shapes were set aside to dry and fired in my kiln to a bisque ware state. Afterwards the girls used a pencil and pottery glaze colors to create shapes, lines and patterns. The cakes were "cooked" once again in my kiln. With a saw tooth hanger attached to the back the cakes are ready to add a splash of color to a kitchen, bedroom or playroom wall.</h4>

As a prompt for our first project we discussed various forms of sea life. Afterwards artists sketched a fishbowl shape on card stock which was cut and placed on top of a slab of clay. With a pencil students traced the pattern cutting through the clay as they went. An assortment of ocean dwelling creatures were built from clay scraps, then scored, slipped and squished to the fishbowl. The fishbowls were set aside to dry then fired in my kiln.</h4>

We began this project with a discussion of animals in the wild and the whimsical artwork of <a href="http://pinterest.com/elihalpin/stretched-canvas-prints-of-my-paintings/"><span style="color: #0b5394;">Eli Halpin</span></a>. This was followed by the artists sketching an animal of their choice onto a 16x20 inch canvas, using the rules of three to create an interesting composition.</h4>

In order to create visual interest, at least three layers of color were applied to the negative space of the background. The artists chose two complimentary colors and painted them in layers on their animals. Rosy cheeks and decorative accents finished off their whimsical paintings.</h4>

For our jellyfish mobile, the artists painted a heavy duty paper bowl in cool colors of blue, green and purple because cool colors remind us of water. Paint was added to both the inner and outer sides of the bowl.</h4>

<h4>
Once dry enough to handle I punched 2 holes in the center of the bowl, threaded a ribbon through the holes and tied it together to form a ring. Strips of fabric were hot glued to the inner part of the bowl to construct jellyfish tentacles. So simple and oh so pretty.</h4>

A surfing artist is a happy artist so to keep this little bunch in good spirits a surfing self portrait was mandatory. The artists divided their 16x20 inch canvas into three sections. The bottom was painted yellow for sand, the middle turquoise for water, the top portion light blue for sky then wavy white lines were painted on top of the turquoise water for waves.</h4>

<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Afterwards I led the artists step by step through a simple shape drawing process for their portrait body and surfboard. The artists outlined their pencil lines with a thick black sharpie then carefully painted their composition with acrylic paint.</h4>

<h4 style="text-align: left;">
Before any art began, the girls and I discussed what different plants could be grown in a home garden. With the summer growing season going on around us ideas flowed with little prompting. For example, one could have vegetables such as tomatoes, cucumbers, peas, and squash. Or a flower garden with daisies, sunflowers, roses and tulips. With these examples in mind the artists drew and painted their designs onto a bisque garden marker.</h4>

A new series of tiny paintings</h3>

<h4>
I have recently been creating a new series of tiny, 4x4 inch paintings inspired by images posted on Instagram. Going for a lighter touch by using watercolors or a combination of watercolors and acrylics. </h4>
<h3>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Floral cup of Tea</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-weight: normal;">Painting inspired by <a href="http://instagram.com/emma_lauren#"><span style="color: #3d85c6;"><b>Emma_Lauren</b></span></a> </span></div>
<h4>
I send the finished painting as a small token of thanks to those whose work fueled my inspiration. The floral cup of tea painting was shipped to Hong Kong and I received the following sweet note in return:</h4>
<h4>
"I received your cute little painting in the mail yesterday, thank you so
much! I've placed it on the shelf next to my computer so that I can
feel the refreshment just by turning my head. :)"</h4>
<br />
<br />
<h4>
Thereby adding more fuel to my Instagram encouraged fire.</h4>

Yesterday morning, while finishing up my 1950s Kate Spade inspired illustration, I received an e-mail invitation to place some of my artwork in <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheCreativeWedge"><span style="color: #38761d;">The Creative Wedge</span></a>, a new shop that will feature handcrafted gifts, American farmstead cheese and sweet delicacies. The owners, Sloane and Barbara, have been busy remodeling, painting, building and gathering items in preparation for their April 27th grand opening.</h4>

Sloane, Barbara and their husbands have done an amazing job fixing up the retail space. Their shop is full of color and will be an awesome place to showcase artwork. I will be dropping off some of my pieces today and look forward to working with and supporting these two creative women.</h4>

So I took my own words of advice and went outside to paint. As adults we need to remind ourselves every now and then to take a break from work or our busy schedules and bring back the joyous nature of play. </h4>

Just do it and have a great day!</h4>

“It took me <em>years</em> to learn to sit at my desk for more than two
minutes at a time, to put up with the solitude and the terror of
failure, and the godawful silence and the blank canvas. And now that I
can take it . . . now that I can finally do it . . . I'm really raring
to go."</h4>
