Come On Get Artsy, Week 1: Painting and Drawing


What a fun time we all had learning about different types of visual arts on Monday, July 21st. Jennifer and Kristen presented the group with four varieties of activities: cave painting (natural/earth tones on brown paper sacks), perspective drawings, impressionist works (an introduction to pastels.), and collage (scissors, glue, paper, and magazines)! There was a slide show for each artistic medium that the kids really seemed to like. We all enjoyed some all natural popcorn and juice boxes/bottled water as snack and we worked to wonderful background music. While we had lunch, we were able to watch a Sister Wendy dvd. The kids and moms all seemed to have a blast I really liked getting to know some other local moms and their kiddos. We have dubbed this experiment a success and will be repeating it again in the future. Yay for Mamas gettin' artsy with their kiddos! And double yay for making new friends in such a wonderful, creative environment.
