A Good read

Hey everyone.

I just stumbled across this article as I was reading tonight and really enjoyed it. It actually is exactly what I am trying to do with my Art of Fun birthday's and one on one sessions. We all need to not worry about coloring in the lines, using the "right" color, and creating a product. Children, even more so in this day and age, need to be encouraged to use their imaginations and be given more opportunities to express themselves and what feels good to them.

I always tell the kids I work with, when they say they can't draw or do art that EVERYONE is an artist because there is no right or wrong way to do art.

Enjoy the read and book your child's birthday party!

RE-VAMPED...and ready for some FUN!

SO.....

ARE YOU READY TO CHOOSE YOUR ART PROJECT?

So you have booked your party date with me and now it is time to pick your project. I have set things up into three "genres" of art projects as listed below. Please ask for any clarification on any of the projects when booking!

 

Art Project List – Please note: If your child is wanting a specific theme for his or her party, please let me know when you are booking, so that I can do my best to be accommodating and keep the theme in mind.

 

Depending on your child’s interest in art, please select from the following mediums:

                        Canvas Acrylic Painting – Children will have an open ended opportunity to fully express themselves by using acrylic paint on canvas. They will be able to use a variety of different techniques and mediums (i.e. cheesecloth) with the paint to create their one of a kind masterpiece! Each child will have an opportunity to design their own art apron and then paint on their own canvas.

 

                        Painting (other) – I have a variety of fun painting activities with different paint mediums such as finger paint, acrylic paint, and water color paint. Depending on the child’s age, they will be able to have a blast creating a unique painting. Each child will have an opportunity to design their own art apron and then have a finished painting project to take home.

 

                        Mixed Media – These unique art activities are designed to let children use their imaginations and create something beautiful from a variety of media’s. Things like different paper and art supplies to recycles items will be used to experiment and build their own art pieces. The art project will be depending on the child’s age. Each child will have an opportunity to design their own art apron and then have a finished mixed media piece to take home.
