art class wednesday

I shared a few weeks ago that I was feeling bad about the art dept. at our school. ;)

I happy to state that I have drastically improved art class in the last few weeks.

We've been so good the last two years of homeschooling about doing a schedule art class

once a week...this year it's been seriously lacking.

So, last month I sat down with my lesson planning book and found fun art projects to do all

the way through May.

Here's what we've been up to:

{Mixed Media Birdies}

We used crayons to outline and watercolors to fill in our drawings. 
That counts as mixed media, right?

{Easter Lilies}

The kids used their hands to make the flower part, then we used paper for leaves,

straws for stems, and pipe cleaners for stamens.

I found this project on Family Fun.

{Stringy Bowls}

I found this project on 1825.

It's really similar to the nest project we did a while back.

I love how they turned out.

So that's what art class has been like lately.

Today we're working on a fun project with popcorn...can't wait to show you!

Have a great day :)
