Jordan and Liam arrive to class in style! To start off our session on 3-D art, we begin by examining collage items. The children were given cups to scoop the materials and carry them to their tray. Once at their tray, they were offered sparkly paint and a brush to begin a collage.Soon, I introduced the squeeze bottle glue- messy but always fun! Richie experiments with various mediums on his first day of class. Hanna and Jordan were interested in collecting as many collage items as they could fit on their trays! Soon, I added cups of liquid watercolor and glitter to the table. This made the gluing much more colorful! While the older kids worked on their collages at the table, Karuna and Richie explored the studio, painting and making prints at the easels. Here Liam makes blue glue! A few of the finished pieces...
Thanks for stopping by! I’m an artist, entrepreneur, mother of 2, and early childhood educator. I began my career as a preschool teacher, deeply intrigued by the use of art in the preschools of Reggio Emilia, Italy. While working towards a Masters in education, I had the amazing opportunity to take part in a study tour of the preschools in Reggio Emilia. This experience has shaped who I am as a teacher, an artist, and business owner.
In January of 2010 I began offering toddler art classes in my back cottage. This wonderful experience lead to the creation of The Art Pantry, an online shop for children's art supplies and creative resource for parents and caregivers.
I am extremely passionate about what I do and love sharing it all with you.
Please say hello!
