In both of our Saturday classes this week, everyone seemed to be eager to share and exchange ideas with one another.
This was an exciting Family Studio class- we experimented with stamping, using all sorts of interesting items like, wine corks, wooden blocks, natural sponges, and more and dipped them in paint and then let loose on the paper. The kids and their parents really had fun with this project. So did I, for that matter.
One young boy found that the object he was using as a stamp made a shape that looked a lot like a wheel. His father helped him out by drawing the outline of a car on his paper. The son then stamped wheels all around the car.
The son really seemed to enjoy this, so then dad drew the outline of a boxcar train on a new piece of paper and his son added wheels to this drawing as well. I really enjoyed watching the creative exchange of ideas between father and son.
However, I think the best part was when the son then excitedly covered over the entire image stamping with an object in each hand. This burst of energy was great to observe and dad was so supportive in letting his son experiment!
There was some great collaboration going on in our Saturday Studio class as well. Everyone in the class was quick to share encouraging ideas with one another. They really did a great job helping each other out. One young lady wanted to sculpt a sand dollar but she could not remember what they looked like. One of her classmates was quick to help out. She, very willingly, made a sketch of a sand dollar for her to look at while she formed the clay.
The young lady was very appreciative and her sand dollar sculpture was a great success.
