Parrot in the Jungle

After creating his watercolor painting, this child mounted it on cardboard and then asked to have different earthy objects glue-gunned on to accent the frame. He was quite pleased with his work, and rightfully so!

Abstract Jungle Collage

June 29, 2013 Ms. Marzia

Color and movement are created with fabrics, coffee beans, beads, and leaves along with paper and paint. This piece speaks of cosy home in the mist of rainforest. Who can see the toucan sitting on a branch or the wind blowing? Oh what fun she had!

By simply using their thumbs to flatten out the clay, beautiful mugs were created! Once they air dried, this child painted hers with watercolors and then asked to have glass beads glue-gunned onto her mug to make it fit for a princess!

Americana Collage

June 29, 2013June 29, 2013 Ms. Marzia

Here is a simple little scene the children really loved. The tree is made of split lentils and then some tiny beads were sprinkled on top to brighten the color. Beads really add a great dimension. Not only do they add strong color, they also help create a story. Buttons add great movement and toothpicks… Continue reading Americana Collage

Americana art project

June 27, 2013June 27, 2013 Ms. Marzia

Celebrate America with a fun art project- creating an Americana scene using squares, triangles, circles and rectangles. Just watercolor the landscape and then add the shapes using paste. We will be adding texture to the road by gluing sand! I'm excited!
