Art class

Can you tell I am behind on my posts???? Sorry about that!!! And now I am not even posting in order. Again, sorry. But at least I am getting the ideas out here. 

Our April art class was so different and interesting. She talked about color. The kids used paints - primary colors. They mixed to get other colors. Then painted on their paper. After that they cut up the paper and mounted it on a metal grid. They could weave it or hot glue it. It made for some very interesting designs. Plus they were encouraged to use other items to mount / glue on the paper and grid such as buttons, beads, toy hats, sunglasses, etc.

This first picture show the paper and the grids that were used to create this project. 

The kids were encouraged to paint with things other than just a paint brush as it creates different designs and textures in the paint. Look at all those choices - it is hard to pick just one!!

Below you can see the swirl of colors as the boys got into their painting. 

Below you can see J using a hot glue gun to mount his pieces in various designs on the grid.
