Drawing with scissors



Spring session starts April 17th. A couple spots open in the Monday class for 6-8 year olds. Get the details here.

Musical instruments in our house double as models in the studio. Students were inspired by Henri Matisse and his Jazz series of paper cut outs.  


6 year old student's finished piece! I love how playful it is.


Busy at work...


Step 1: Cutting out all the shapes.


Step 2: Arrange your shapes, layer them. Try a few different compositions.




Step 3: Ready to glue. I use colorful matt board that I get for free from the scrap bin at my local frame shop! Thanks Annie's art and Framing!
