Photo Frame Kiddie Art Work

Art work of the month! Photo frame using ice cream sticks! Never thought that I have the chance to get on hands with kids craft again, but I did!

Here's how it was done:
1) Prepare the photoframe using cardboard
2) Glue the ice cream sticks on the photoframe
3) Paint the photoframe with your own creativity using craft colour (water proof)
4) Tie the rope at the back of the frame so that you can hang it on the way!

That's all! As easy as ABC....I painted sakura flowers on the photoframe, love it...

My first oil painting....

At last! I've completed my first oil painting! Ratatouile...took me like almost 2 months to complete it. Of course I'm not a good student which I did not do my homework at home...haha..only colour it during the class.

Here's how it looks like! Still thinking whether want to frame it or not.


My next assignment will be painting out my dream car! Fair Lady Z :)

The Learning Process

My first class started with a simple sketch! Guess what is it? Banana sketch! :D Here's my art work:


My next class was mini clay making with 2 kids with me! It's been such a long time I have never worked with kids! It felt like back to school and it's great!

On the 3rd class, I have been taught back the basic of colour mixture. Colour mixing is one of the very important skill that are required for oil painting. The correct colour mixture is required to product a good drawing. I have been given 2 random pictures and required to mix the most nearest colour.

The following class is to draw a picture without having to use an eraser. This skill is required to draw on a canvas where no correction can be made. This will create a messy job on the canvas.
