Let's Make a R2D2 Collagraph Print!

Yesterday I shared a Talking Baby Yoda project and it was so fun that I wanted to make a project based on my other fave Star War's character: R2D2! For this, you'll need a cereal box, scissors, glue, markers and foil. When doing the printing portion, you'll need paper and a way to dampen your paper. I use a sponge but a spray bottle would work as well. If you pull a print and it turns out too dry looking, try it again and dampen a new piece of paper a little more. It was just needing more water. If it looks too blurry, try adding less water. You'll get the hang of it with practice. Here we go:

Have fun! 

Let's Make an Origami House!

Mother's Day is around the corner! I thought I would create some fun videos of projects that could be created for any occasion or to celebrate mom on her special day! To create your origami house, all you'll need is paper and something to draw and color with. Have fun!

Let's Draw Baby Yoda with a Pop-Out Mouth and Cup!

Snack-tastic Chefs Week!

Who is ready for another week of art-making! I'm pretty stoked about this week as it is based on my favorite thing: snacks! And, despite the fact that I'm not such a great chef myself (have you even seen Season 3, Episode 3 of Nailed It!?), we are going to be BAKING COOKIES on Friday! Which is all kinds of funny as the judges spit out my cookie that I made on T.V. Let's just hope y'all don't do the same. 

So get read for another fun week and be sure and share this with friends and family so they can join the fun too. We'll kick things off with a Chef Selfie!

On Tuesday, I'll be sharing a lot of paper folding and paper sculpture techniques in this Hamburger Sculpture project. 

 On Wednesday, let's make a Salt Dough Pizza! 

On Thursday, I'll show you how to draw a 3-D cake! It's a piece of cake! 

And on Friday, we are gonna bake! I'm so excited about this!

To join me live, you can find me on my Instagram and my Facebook page. If you miss the LIVE session, no worries. You can catch the video the next day on my YouTube channel! Be sure and subscribe. I'll be sharing lessons there (in addition to these) all week for Mother's Day! 

See you real soon!

Art Class Happy Hour: Let's Draw Dwight from The Office!

I've been doing tons (and I do mean TONS) of art videos for kids right now and I kept feeling like something was missing...I decided it was MY art time. One of my favorite things to do is hosting a craft night. Since I can't do that in person right now, I decided to host a bit of a virtual one with this here adult draw along! I'm going to be kicking off this Art Class Happy Hour with a drawing of one of my favorite characters from The Office: Dwight! I hope you'll grab some paper, markers and crayons and draw along with me. If you do, I'd love to share there here on my blog! You can email a snap of your drawing to casseiart75@gmail.com.

Here we go:

Have fun!
