Prismacolor Birds

Our last project for this session was a colored pencil design of colorful birds inspired by the designer Laurel Burch.

Some of them didn't get finished.  I was dismayed to hear that many of these talented kids don't have colored pencils or oil pastels at home. I encouraged them to ask their parents for PRISMACOLORS for Christmas.  They are expensive, but if taken care of will give them many years of use - super handy for school projects!  Crayola makes an affordable alternative.

Glazing their bowls

This week my students painted glazes onto their little bowls.  The kids at 4S Ranch were totally absorbed in the process while listening to classical music.
