Marbling with Shaving Cream!

That's right, today we marbled paper using shaving cream!  So fun!  I was definitely a little skeptical about give this method a try, but I have to say, the kids came up with some pretty impressive designs- much better than my samples.  It was extremely messy but perfect for art club.  My fourth grade art clubers asked if we could it again next week....I'll have to think about that one! 

Look for close ups of the marbled paper coming soon.

Symmetrical Blob Bugs

So for the past two sessions of art club, third grade has been working on creating symmetrical "blob" bugs.  We had learned about symmetry in art class, so this was a fun extension of what we had already created in class!  Art clubers squished paint between folded paper during the first session and then added details with markers and wiggle eyes during the second session.  Check out their awesome creations!

Model Magic and Wire with 4th grade

So, this week I was out on fourth grade art club day. Bummer.  However, they were left int he capable hands of Miss T and created some very creative sculptures using model magic and wire (the same materials we used during out last art project).  I am posting a few photos so please check out their work!

Very creative! 
Next week, we are going to try our hand at marbeling paper.  Very exciting and a little scary!
