Clara's Blue Heart

This drawing was done by Clara in November '11. Title: Blue Heart, Crayola Slix Sticks on 8 x 10 paper.

Clara and Calem

This little drawing is from last September where Calem was still in the bouncer.

Collage with Clara

I wanted to get away from mark making with media and introduce Clara to collage.  The materials in this piece were simple.  Torn tissue paper, wax paper, glue stick and black pastel paper.  I assisted with the glueing a bit, but she tore the pieces and did the arranging herself.  It's a simple an inexpensive way of crreating art with your child.

I was glad I bought along my sketchbook last Saturday. It can be interesting people watching and when you are sketching them the time goes by quickly.

Clara's art

Finally! An artist that doesn't take her work so seriously!  I don't give her direction (besides lets draw which she usually says no! )and always leave out a sketchbook and oil pastels, markers, and slix sticks.

Clara interacting with the Ipad so I can sketch the moment.
