beehive kids and their puppets

I took many many  photographs of this great group of kids, 
their mission was to crack me up with their expressions.   
We just completed an 8 week class, 
just in time to add finishing touches to their puppets. 

I also really like the way the puppets look before paint. 

Cardboard and newspaper.  Simple.

mobiles

The past week I've been working a new mobiles for this and that.
I sewed up  bunches of white mobiles for the beehive classes to design and color.  The younger beehive crowd added big bold watercolor to their mobiles. Older kids drew intricate patterns and designs with color pencils and added touches of watercolor. 

The best part.. they love them!

wooden fish and watercolors

This is one of my favorite projects from summer art.  

We had a school of these wooden fish 
and painted them up with watercolors and tiny brushes.  
We couldn't stop there, 
they wriggled onto painted bases attached with wire.

watercolor + color pencil

Two of my favorite mediums,

tried and true over and over.

Always fresh and always vibrant,

 I love the combination. 

We paint lots of small watercolors at beehive.  

After mounting them, 

we played with the pencil and a little sharpie marker.
