Still lives

A couple weeks ago, two little girls came asking for an art project. Really? Does it get any better than that?

Neither of them had ever done a still life before, so I began by finding a few different examples online. I really wanted them to see that they didn't have to be representational. I think it's so important that kids understand there is no doing it "wrong" with art.

A simple set-up and some oil pastels were all that was needed. Their work, of course, was amazing! And I love that they both added in apples even though there wasn't one in the still life. Creative license at work!

You'll notice Anna went back to her stage name, Lavender, to sign her work!

Zucchini

Anna, seeing photos of herself last summer wearing her first ever bikini (borrowed from best gal-pal, Chiara): “Remember me in my zucchini?”
