Since it's Inktober, artists created inky octopuses for HALF DAY CAMP. They practiced stippling, hatching, cross contours and doodle lines and then applied these different mark-making techniques to their octopus drawings to give them form and texture. After coloring their creatures with watercolor, they dropped some sumi ink onto their paper for a final touch!
This fall Social Studio started a new afterschool art class for grades 3-5 called 3M - Mixed Media Modules. The fall modules “Fix Your Face” include a sequence of lessons that teach kids more about face proportion, portraits, and different materials. Here are some works from Module 2 where the kids drew with wire exploring the connections between the features of the face.
