Los Angeles Zoo - Sketch Day with the Kids...

I took 3 of my students on a sketch day at the Los Angeles Zoo today.Christina sketches the Great TortoiseSketch of a Tortoise by Jordan - Age 9

Feel the Paint Between your Fingers

Painting can be such a tactile experience. I encourage my young artists to experiment with textures and explore how things feel. This creates wonderful conversations about how things feel: hot, cold, squishy, slimy, scratchy. Here Fiona and David are learning about warm and cool color combination's. They titled their combined work "an explosion at a chocolate factory"... It may be fun and messy, but it is the perfect way for them to explore the materials.
