Art Club | Summer Edition: Week 2

Week 2's projects included Windchimes and Indigo!  The windchimes were a new project that we brought on board.  In choosing our materials, the aim is to use pre-existing materials that can be recycled or natural materials that will leave a smaller footprint.  We used a variety of wood in addition to bamboo from the bamboo grove here at School House Farm.  The kids painted the top piece white and chose from a variety of patterns (including splatter painting) painted in black.  A colour pattern of Beads were added to their centre string before the task of tying began.  It was definitely more labourious than I had expected, but everyone was very proud and pleased with their final product!

Indigo, as usual, was anticipatory, then really boring and smelly, and ended with sweet victory, excitement, and pride.

Art Club 2017 Wrap Up!

I can't tell you how crazy it is to direct these classes and try to get some good shots at the same time!  I managed to get a few here and there, mostly the second week when I was feeling a little more comfortable and in my groove.  Will try to create a larger gallery under our Art Club section, but in the meantime, here are some snippets from Art Club 2017!

A massive thank you to everyone who participated and my sincerest apologies to those I had to turn away for lack of space!  I am definitely planning to host more classes in the coming months including some for adults as well.  I am so thrilled with the amount of response I received this year and equally stoked on how all the projects turned out.  I love love love observing the unique perspectives and talents from young creatives and it is such a gift to see how proud they are of their work in the end.  Thank You to everyone!  I look forward to seeing your faces and many new ones with the warmer weather!
