Art is so noisy, but who knew? When I create and teach my mind is calm and quiet, so this process video is fascinating.
This most recent class used acrylic paint to create some illustrative moody ostriches. Each person learned to paint with wet and dry brush techniques, how to use the brush bristles of various brushes to create desired effects and stroke sizes, and mixing primary colors to create the palette. Many giggles, a little frustration, and plentiful masterpieces.

What a fun library of acrylic paintings from the past year of painting events. Whether it was kid's painting, adult paint-and-sip or private event function, everyone enjoyed learning a few techniques and coming home with a new masterpiece. Join us for the next painting event!
The art center has been busy with young creativity this week! In the 6-11 year old class we made patriotic wind-catchers. Each wind-catcher was so unique and beautiful. We walked around the room to see others creations and gain inspiration. There was much exploration and imagination! The goal of art projects at this age is not to achieve perfection in a project, but to push and congratulate experimentation, guide technique and process, encourage community building, and use the tools provided in a variety of ways.
