Our Winter Young Artist Exhibition!

25 03 2009

Can you all believe that our winter sessions are complete?  The classes went so fast and each of you made some absolutely amazing paintings and projects…now it is time to show off all your wonderful art work!

The Young Artist Exhibition will be held Thursday evening March 26th from 6 to 7:30 pm.  The show will be held at It’z All About Me! with access to the studio to show your family and friends your creative space.  Students are encouraged to bring 2 pieces of artwork to the show including at least 1 painting.  If you wish, you may drop the artwork off at the shoppe early so we can get it on display for all to see.

Miss Rebecca has heard that there is also an event at school so I am encouraging parents to treat this evening as an open house. You may arrive any time during the evening to discuss your artwork and meet your friends.  If you think you will be arriving later, please drop off the artwork early so all can see it!!

Again, we encourage you to bring your family and friends to this event…it is open to all.  We will be serving beverages and dessert at the show so bring your sweet tooth too! 

Can’t wait to see you all!

Hello to my Thursday kids!!!

I missed you all this week! Hope you all have been creative over vacation!

This week will be exciting as we make paper, create the base for our sandcasting project and start our new acrylic painting.

Making paper can be very exciting as you will soon see! We will add all sorts of things to make a unique piece of paper: color, texture, even smell!

Our sandcasting project will include choosing fun items to cast in plaster along with our special sand! This will be your own creation that you can have for years to come…Miss Rebecca will even show you the one she did when she was 7 years oldl!

So hello to all of you and please write me here and tell me how you all are doing …can’t wait to hear about all your fun vacations and projects!

Miss you all & take care!
Miss Rebecca



Winter Young Artist Update

9 02 2009

I am so excited to be in the middle of our winter “Young Artist Program“! This session began in early January with a record number of 19 kids!! We expanded the classes to 3 sessions per week and have many returning students from Franklin, Wrentham and Foxboro.

We have completed 2 amazing acrylic paintings so far this semester along with art projects including collages with fabric, watercolor paintings & valentine paper designs for Mom!!

The kids are a buzz with activity over our new “Bee” painting that we will complete this week! There is fabulous color in this example with the students learning and concentrating on their techniques in graduated backgrounds.

Our older group designed & completed their own amazing block print designs last week and learned how to print using speedball inks and a brayer (ink roller). This week we will mount, sign & frame these designs as part of the lesson on how to properly display their custom creations.
We are having a blast here in our creative little world at “It’z All About Me”. Pease feel free to write us a note or drop by the studio and we’ll give you the tour!

Off now to be creative!! You should “bee” too!!
