Summer Arts - Water Color

Water color leaves.

Last night was our first class in our Summer Arts series. We painted water color leaves. It was a fun, easy project. Here are pictures of us working. Our students didn't want to pose holding their finished pictures up, but they let me take pictures while they were working.

We meet in the party room of our fancey new Family Life Center. It was a great place to meet. The FLC was full of families playing all kinds of different things together. there were some guys kick boxing in the aerobics room, a dad and young son playing pool, lots of racquetball and basketball players... Everyone was having a fun time. Hannah and Benjamin came to pick up their Papa (me) but I didn't get their picture for the blog.

Here's a little more of an explanation of what will happen in each class.

Water color - June 16 - We'll learn how water color paints work, try some cool techniques and end up with a lovely painting that is simple enough that anyone can do it, yet interesting enough that more experienced painters will enjoy the project.

Stained-glass - June 23&24 - We'll learn how to make a leaded stained-glass panel. There are several steps which makes this is a two day class. We'll cut glass and lead and learn to solder and more. You must bring your own eye protection. There's nothing worse than getting a sliver of glass in your eye or having some hot solder pop and burn your eye.

Wire Art - June 30 - Fun and easy and you end up with a lovely wire cross to hang in your home.

Clay Creations - July 7 - We'll make a bird feeder shaped like a cat. How fun is that? Each one is different because the sculptor decides the shapes and colors of paint.
