Ring in spring with the cherry blossoms. WEEKEND ART ACTIVITY used sumo ink and pink ink on rice paper to capture the abundant and fleeting beauty of the cherry blossoms blooming.
Paint & Play printing. Since taking the gel printing workshop with @getthinkering it is so much fun to play with prints! Today kids made 5, each with 2 layers, and we slipped then into sheet protectors and tied the holes with ribbons to make an art book!
Today’s STORY ART lesson included a read aloud about a young Hmong girl who discovers her sense of home by looking closely at the world around her. And with a great gesture of creativity and empathy, she helps her elderly neighbor find his way after his wife died with a map into this world. A MAP INTO THE WORLD - story by Kao Kalia Yang & illustrated by Seo Kim. The kids made a “magic carpet’ book measuring, cutting and scoring. Then they told their own stories in their new handmade books. #bookmakingwithkids #artintegration #artandliterature #socialstudiosessions

This artist loved learning tricks to paint the flowers. Trick 1 - make each type of flower a different shape. Trick 2 - use 2-3 shades of a color. “They look so real!” She said. 💐
