Hanging Zilker Mosaic

Hanging this four piece mosaic was harder than it looks. the pieces had to line up just rite. Thank you Steve Stratacco and Houston for their help.

Grouting

Grouting went smoothly with help from Houston.

This is the final piece! I dont like the grout line in the center left from the adjoining backer bords. But now I have learned that for next time.

Workin The Swap

Andrea — Wed, 07 Sep 2011 17:40:01 +0000

I was working the screen printing again at the Zilker clothes swap last week. As usual it was a great success!. What I mean is that I am not surprised that there are so many clothes in the world that we could all be trading and recreating clothes for a long time before we would have to shop for new ones. Hu interesting. At the end of the day we still filled three truck loads of clothes to be distributed to different organizations. I still need new jeans I think I must of put on some extra pounds this summer while stuck inside beating the heat?

The Creative Class

So happy to announce that my 3-5 year old class is filling up. Location is at Christ Workshop on E. Monroe Str. ( no religion required)

I spent the morning laying out a curriculum for young artist. With lots of exploration for pure little minds including lots of tactile work, Texture, Line, Shape, Color, Cutting, Gluing, Stamping, Building and more. There will be so much pleasure in watching these young minds discover some of these new mediums while learning about the elements of art.

My Booth at the “Z”

As one of the co-chairs of the Arts in Education committee at Zilker elementary I was able to execute the event the “Z” with the help from parent and teacher volunteers. The night included donated art works and 10 local artist booths. This is a picture of one of my Rockin T-shirts I sold at my booth. Check out more shirts of mine at www.BlackSheepPrints.com

Andy Warhol Flowers

Andrea — Sun, 30 Jan 2011 12:43:03 +0000

Primavera Kinder students got to paint today! January and February are focused on learning about famous artist. This week we talked about Andy Warhol.We made art that looks like Warhol’s “Flowers”. When finished these flowers will hang in The art show in April.

Fist using a wide brush to color the paper, then a medium brush to add a secondary color and finally a pencil to add the texture marks that make it look like grass. Students were curious as they watched the paint mix and move around to get results. After the paint dried we cut out paper flowers and arranged them on the paper and glued them down.

Screen Printing Class

This lovely free style screen print was made by Maxine. We learned a lot in my one day screen printing camp for kids over the holiday break. This is my favorite piece by far. Look for more screen printing classes this summer if you missed this one.
