Dreaming

There are those who look at things the way they are, and ask why... I dream of things that never were, and ask why not?

  Robert Kennedy 






 

Our color charts were transformed into dreamy landscapes against a night sky.






These are a mix of Kinder, First and Second
They all loved it!

Strengths

 We all know him, whether it's from childhood memories or you may know him now.  He may be thinking, I'm the quiet student.  The new one.  Let me show you what makes me happy, my strengths.    

The patience and craftsmanship this student has is truly wonderful.  Therein lies his strengths.


 It is good to love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love, is well done.

Torn Paper Collage

Ah, tearing, how liberating it feels to tear a brand new sheet of paper straight down the middle. What a sensation- especially  if you're experiencing it for the first time!  That's what Kinder did this week and what a great experience it was.  How charmed we are indeed to be part of those moments!

Light, Shadow and Value

Continuing our journey into seeing, I decided to focus on looking at light and shadow. The subtleties of change in light will  take you in if you if you let them.  What  is it about light and shadow that intrigues the artist in us?  It was a mystery and the  kids wanted to find out more.  It was also a perfect opportunity to look at value.  Watercolour lent itself perfectly for this exploration as you can see below.

Some kids painted  in big 'swooshes' while for others  made charts. 

Next week or so we will begin making collages from these color charts.
