Instructional Posters






Extra Credit?






My nephew kept getting into my art folder and going through it. Inevitably he would always pull out the Andy Warhol style styrofoam prints and tell me how awesome they were. Then he would ask... "How do you do these? I need to learn how to do these." FINALLY, a light bulb turned on in my head. I could teach him how to do this AND maybe earn a little extra credit in the process. My son joined in. They had a lot of fun making these and I had fun showing them how. My nephew is hooked on this technique and is going to make a whole bunch more of these using random designs like monster trucks and skulls! I have had the chance to show people how to do a couple of the different art techniques I have learned this semester (my facilitator had me show her the Batik process)and I have loved doing so. Art is awesome and should be shared!! :)

Grid Portaits






These were really fun to do. I was amazed at how much difference using the grid and the viewfinder made! :)
