Under the Sea Week!

 Hello, friends! Who's ready for Under the Sea Week? I'm so excited to kick things off with a selfie that we'll be bubble printing on! 

In case you don't know...you can join me for live art class on my Instagram page or my Facebook page. If you miss a class, no worries, I always post the lesson the following day to my YouTube channel. Here's what's in store this week:
Last week we explored a bunch of collage techniques for our hamburger. I thought we'd continue that by creating a Coral Reef Relief Sculpture!
Y'all know it wouldn't be a week of Art Class with Cassie without some salt dough clay, right? If you are low on supplies, any clay would work from Model Magic to Play-Doh. 
What do sharks snack on? Let's draw what we think they might enjoy with this fun pop-out!
The kids have been BEGGING for a mermaid project so here we go! We'll do a fun printing technique for the background to create a tie-dye effect. 
And here's the line-up! If you know some kiddos who would enjoy, please feel free to share. Also, big thanks to our sponsors, Art to Remember and Ticonderoga!

I thought I'd put them all together here in case you need something for dear ole mom (or you know some kiddos who need to get to creatin'). You'll only need paper, glue, glue stick or tape, scissors and something to draw and color with. Here we go:
Why not brighten mom's day with a pop-up rainbow?
Or spend some time writing about what a star she is in your life with this project:
This MOM/WOW project was a huge hit this week!

Let's Make a R2D2 Collagraph Print!

Yesterday I shared a Talking Baby Yoda project and it was so fun that I wanted to make a project based on my other fave Star War's character: R2D2! For this, you'll need a cereal box, scissors, glue, markers and foil. When doing the printing portion, you'll need paper and a way to dampen your paper. I use a sponge but a spray bottle would work as well. If you pull a print and it turns out too dry looking, try it again and dampen a new piece of paper a little more. It was just needing more water. If it looks too blurry, try adding less water. You'll get the hang of it with practice. Here we go:
Have fun! 

Let's Make an Origami House!
