forgotten projects

Home recovering from minor surgery today, so here's some older art projects I never posted....

I have been picking this up and putting it down for over a year now.  I'm sick of it so I decided its done.

Ringholder #2

I grabbed the last ringholder at work before it sold out, and I was determined to get right the triangular netted pattern in the mirror black glaze I had tried months ago. I regretted blocking out every other triangle and it looked like I didn't add enough layers at the top.

So I decided to keep it clean and simple. I carefully, and painstakingly, made sure I had 3 coats on all the lines. I was also happy with the way I represented my name on the bottom with the black indelible pencil. But, this time, it was too much glaze!

GUH! I feel like Goldilocks! I'll find that sweet spot eventually!

For now, I think the two failed attempts compliment each other. Along with the mini pinched bowl in the same glaze (below), they fit in quite nicely on my dresser.

creative nametags!

Some of our students at Owl57 may be budding graphic designers!

MY Comic Book Class @ OWL57

My classroom was held in the fine arts gallery on Thursday evenings.  I made this sign for the door to limit interruptions during this time.

  
     This semester I was given the opportunity to build a class for a group of little boys on the complexities of sequential art, as arranged by the Five Towns Jewish Community Center with Owl57. I was inventing this class from scratch, and was only given a few days notice prior to the first class to have the syllabus written. This was only the first of many trials and adversities on the way to the finish line.

     The goal of our experimental 12 week course was to have a final product of one page completed. This is much different from our other children's fine arts courses, in which we complete 1 project every 2 weeks; each project focusing on one of many different medias, such as acrylic, watercolor, pastels, and clay building...

Some cute kitties by our little artists @Owl57 !

This is the photo taken by our (now former) head teacher Cindy, that is the inspiration behind the lesson:

Heres a humongous acrylic painting that is hanging in the main classroom, and for sale by the fine arts section of the business. I love it.

And don't forget about "BAD KITTY"!

Plus, here is a card I had to make for my boss on Mothers Day last month :P

Owl57 After School clay class at HAFTR came to a close last week and as a treat we played with model magic. I made a little guy with what they left over.
