My Work as the Instructor of Art Workshops for Kids

I like to conduct these workshop with concern for freedom and creativity for each student. 

Halloween Workshop was last Saturday.

The art materials were  thoughtfully chosen: India ink, Japanese 'cake' water-soluble  inks/paints, watercolor pencils, charcoal, graphite pencils, newsprint  paper for sketching, and heavyweight drawing paper for the finished art. I always provide visual aids for inspiration:  images of my own artworks like the "Spider Eyes White Pumpkin Princess"; magazine pages with jack'o lanterns, paper party plates with Halloween theme, and last but not least,  my demos done right there in front of my students - crayon resist spider web, and friendly ghost trio - two quick artworks on white drawing paper washed over with black India ink; plus graphite sketch on newsprint paper.

And presented here are two artworks created during the workshop by my students: 11- year- old Madelyn, and 10-year-old Zoe.

Student Artist: Madelyn, age 11.

Student Artist: Zoe, age 10.

"ANIMALS IN PARADISE" CHILDREN'S DRAWING WORKSHOP

This Saturday, on a very cool afternoon in South Florida... in a beautiful city of SUNRISE, young artists participated in a "Watercolor Pencils Drawing Workshop"

at the Art Studio of  Sunrise Civic Center.

 In addition to watercolor pencil techniques and brush and water applications, a common kitchen sponge cut in small cubes was used to apply paint on watercolor paper to show the frizzy leaves of palm trees and the shimmering foliage of Southern live oaks, Crepe myrtles and American holly trees. 

I'm very pleased with the results!

Presented here are the participants' beautifully and uniquely creative artworks:

 Tuxedo's Life by Jannellee G., age 9.

Jack's Adventure, by Zoe S., age 9.

Animals in Paradise by Tabitha M., age 7.
