This year our little art ‘room’ has 15 participants who range in age between 10-16. It’s the biggest and most diverse group in terms of age I’ve had. Sometimes I find the choosing of projects daunting but need to remember I have an existing list of ideas longer than we could achieve in 3 lifetimes and to just chill. I’m not a teacher – which has pros and cons – but I love the experience of achievement, satisfaction and outright pleasure that comes with completing something where you’ve learned/enjoyed the process and its outcome. I equally love watching that happen with these kids.
We took 2 sessions to complete our litte leaf project – the frames were all scrounged from 3 or 4 different op shops (another hobby 🙂 ) for around $2 a piece. There’s a sample below, and the rest can be seen over at THIS page.
Loooove this project. Collected my own leaves this morning. 😉
The inspiration for it came from Julie Richards (which I’ll post a pic of soon too) Send me a pic of yours once you’re done! <3
(I pressed them all for a week before framing)
