watercolor resist

We've been designing puppet bodies using a cardboard box, oil pastels and watercolor paint.

The four sides of this puppet body

 box were colored with oil pastels. 

  

The same four sides below, after a wash of watercolor paint creating a magnificent resist. 

A thousand words

I like to incorporate photographs
 in the children's artwork at beehive.
Last week, we made accordion books, 
and filled them with shots taken throughout the week.
 We thought it would be a good idea to add 
colored pencil drawings to the books.

today.. summer ART!
