We have been using Home Art Studio for a long time now. You can see all of the projects I have blogged about here!
It took me awhile to get in the art-groove this school year as we went through some transitions. My kids were excited to get back to work! We recently used the 3rd grade DVD for a project that I included all 3 kids in on! That’s one of the things I love about this program, I can easily pick a project I think all three of my kids can do. If I want them to work individually I can do that too, totally flexible!
I knew it would be messy, but I decided to give Starry Night a try with all three {K, 3rd, 7th}.
I learned early on to gather the supplies ahead of time. I am not an art-lover so I must be prepared to save my sanity. The printable lessons really help so I know what we need even before we watch the DVD lesson together.
After we watched the DVD lesson all together, we went to the table to work. I must be honest and let you know that I pre-prepared the shaving cream base for each child. My sanity couldn’t handle them all ding this at once.
I did drizzle their paint but they did all of the stirring and mixing.
We were all VERY impressed with the beauty before we even got to the paper part of the project!
Making the marbleized paper for the background was messy, for sure but the result was beautiful!
Ladybug drew her own city skyline and I cut it out for her. She insisted that “Starry Night” needed star stickers. I think she’s right.
The boys drew and cut their own city skylines and glued them on. All kids were very pleased with the results!
