| Rolling Stamp Project Idea |
| | |||
Rolling Stamps
Rolling stamps give you an easy way to create repeating patterns. Make your own unique and unusual designs using this simple technique! Take thick rubber bands and wrap them around a sturdy cylinder like a wooden dowel, small rolling pin or brayer. (If using a printing brayer, use a slot screw driver for leverage to remove the rubber cylinder from brayer handle, wrap with rubber bands and replace handle.) Use an ink pad or printing inks to coat the rubber bands/cylinders. Then roll out on a piece of paper and watch your design develop.    It’s a quick and easy way to add patterns to any surfaces! Try it on a canvas tote bag, make unique wrapping paper or just have fun creating different designs! |

Landscape Collage-Rush Creek Elementary, MN
An all new session of KidzArt Classes starte today at Rush Creek Elementary School in Maple Grove, MN. This session, Mixed Media Mania!, is all about different materials. Today students created a landscape using different paper, gemstones, and glitter paint!
First we talked about what a collage was (collage: is a technique of an art production, primarily used in the visual arts, where the artwork is made from an assemblage of different forms, thus creating a new whole). Which students could relate to having done before with pictures or a group project.
Then we talked about different landscapes and what kind of landscape they wanted to create in their collage. A few students chose to create a nice warm landscape (a nice thought in the middle of winter here in Minnesota!).
For more classes being offered through Osseo Community Education visit https://osseo.thatscommunityed.com/ and search "kidzart".
Here are some examples of landscape collages made by students:

Drawing Macaw Birds
Today was the start of an all new session of KidzArt classes at The Studio at Rush Creek in Maple Grove, MN. Today students learned how to draw Macaw Birds and used Prismacolor markers and Art Stix to color their drawings.
KidzArt is a drawing based program that teaches the fundamentals and drawing techniques that can help them decode and draw more complicated pictures.
For the birds we started with the eye and the "D" shape that surrounds the eye then went on to the beak and rest of the body. After students were done drawing their birds they had the chance to add any other details or a background. It is always wonderful to see how even though we are all drawing from the same example how different each picture turns out!
