WORKSHOP NEWS
JAKE TURNS 4 YEARS OLD
Jake celebrated his 4th birthday with his friends at the Art Workshop. He loves painting and frogs so we did a pond painting with all kinds of cool animals in the water besides frogs. The most unusual animal in the pond was a water buffalo!
ON THE BIG SCREEN
GENEVIEVE HORVATH'S clay teapot entitled "Girl on the Beach" was chosen among 500 pieces of student artwork from around the country to be displayed on the big screen in New York City for the National Art Educators Convention March 1-4. Genevieve created her artwork last year when she was in second grade out ofclay pinch pots. Her Mom took her to NYC for the weekend so that she could see her artwork displayed! Congratulations Gen!
FYI MRS. KOPP is quoted in the November issue of Cincinnat Parent Magazine for the article "INTRODUCING YOUR KIDS TO THE ARTS WHY IT MATTERS". When asked what parents could do to encourage their children in art, she said "Set aside a space in your house for all art supplies where your child can go anytime to make stuff. Kids need to be encouraged daily to express themselves, not just when you get out the supplies for them. Just basic supplies are needed, crayons, markers, tray of watercolor paints and colored pencils and a ream of copy paper. Using inexpensive paper allows them to explore without the feeling that their art must be beautiful. It also allows them to be prolific, which kids love to do!"
MAYERSON FOUNDATION "ARTY PARTY" FOR HANNUKAH
The Art Workshop provided several cool art activities and demonstrations at the Mayerson Foundations "Arty Party" at the School for Performing and Creative Arts on Suday December 11, 2011. Hundreds of kids and parents participated in making an edible color wheel, clay creatures, mini-masterpieces, cartooning, wire sculpture, jewelry making, pottery wheel throwing and a TALL PAINTING. It was so much fun! Can't wait for next year.
BIRTHDAY PARTIES
AVA had an awesome party theme. She wanted to celebrate nature and have her party guests make clay pictures with scenes from outdoors. Snowmen, tulips, beach snd forest pictures are some of the cool things that they made out of clay. Even Ava's cake was special. It was a forest with a river and animals and trees!
AVANI celebrated her 4th birthday at the Workshop with a Mermaid theme party. We made shell picture frames, sand pictures, sea creature necklaces and sculptures. Mom made yummy Mermaid cupcakes and everyone went home with a bag full of cool stuff that they made. Even brother Siddah had a good time!
Alma celebrates her 10th birthday with a a bead making party at the workshop. Even Dad got in the act and made lovely beads (maybe for Christmas present?)! Mom brought some very cool decorations and an awesome cake.
Greta chose to make POP ART (a period of mid-century art known for using popular items as it's subject matter. Andy Warhol made repeated images of soup cans into art. Chas Oldenburg made fake food) for her birthday party. We made pizza, popcorn, Graeters ice cream, and yummy sanwiches, all out of clay. They all looked good enough to eat! Greta's friends all signed a birthday apron for her.
