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!
