Pet Week: A Wrap Up!

Did you miss any of the creative fun of Pet Week? Not to worry, all the videos are now up on my YouTube channel! Let's do a little rewind and start with Friday's art lesson...which was Hipster Pets! Let's draw together. Here we go:

We kicked off Pet Week with a little self-portrait with a puppy filter! This one was so fun:

We had a blast creating origami cats and dogs:

Of course we had to do a little Salt Dough Clay action with this project:

And we wrapped everything up with our Pet Shop Puppets! 

I hope you have fun! 

Summer Vacation Week!

 It's officially summer! My summer vacation began last week but I'm going to continue to teach live art classes one more week! Here is our line up for this week. I go live every week day on my Instagram and my Facebook page. You can of course catch my videos afterward over on my YouTube channel. New videos are added all the time so be sure to subscribe! 

Here is our line up for this week. We'll kick things off with a Summertime Selfie!

It wouldn't be a week of creating with me without Salt Dough Clay!  

 Last week, the kids really loved origami so I decided to do another origami project! 

 On Friday, we'll sail away to other adventures and beyond in this hot air balloon pop-up! 

See you soon!

Art Class Happy Hour: The Office!

I know so many teachers and art teachers are creating video content for their students right now...with that in mind, I decided I needed a bit of adult creating time! So I decided to do a little something called Art Class Happy Hour with a weekly draw. I've settled on The Office for my inspiration. I hope you will draw along with me and have fun! You might want to subscribe to my YouTube channel as more videos like this (as well as my usual art making videos for kids) are uploaded almost every day. Alright, here we go:

Prison Mike...so cringe but I love him!

Okay, Kevin spilling his world famous chili is easily one of my favorite scenes from the show. I laugh til I cry every time!

And my very first Happy Hour drawing was from the very first episode of The Office!

Let's Draw a Disco Ball!

Got markers? Then you have all you need (well, you'll also need paper, a plate or bowl to trace, a cup of water and a paintbrush too) to create your very own disco ball. Throw some crayons in there and write a little message under your ball as well. This project is fun, easy and SUPER COOL! Let's boogie, y'all!

Let's Make Black Light Clay!

Bet you didn't even know you could make clay that glows under black light! Let me show you how to make Salt Dough Clay with my simple three-ingredient recipe...and then how to make it glow! I'll also share how to create a deep sea scene. You'll need the following:

1/4 cup of water
1/4 cups of salt
1/2 cup of flour
Prang Fluorscent Paint
Cardboard
Crayons

Let's create!

Pet Week!

The Art Class with Cassie kiddos have been requesting Pet Week since we started doing LIVE art classes and it's finally here! I'm excited to share this week's lineup of creative fun. 

We are going to kick things off with a Pet Filter Selfie! All live art classes happen at 11am CT on my Instagram or my Facebook page. If you miss any art classes, don't worry. All of them end up on my YouTube channel. I add new videos to my channel all the time so be sure to subscribe. 

Origami is one of my favorite things to teach! We've not really done much origami yet in art class...my students always love creating these origami pets!

I know, I know, more salt dough! I love this stuff! Let's create a fish bowl this week. 

 If you've never made these puppets, you have got to join! They are so fun and easy to make!

 Honestly, I had the most fun drawing these cuties! I am looking forward to this lesson. 

See you real soon!

Let's Draw a Crab and Make Black Light Bubble Prints!

During Under the Sea week, I got a lot of requests for how to draw other sea creatures. So in this video, I'll show you how to draw a crab and his whole family! I'll also be sharing with you how to do bubble prints...that glow under black light! Bubble printing can be done with just water, dishsoap, food coloring and a straw. But if you want the bubbles to glow, you'll have to give fluorescent paint a try. Here we go:

Have fun!
