“Family Fun Canvas” --- Sometimes a piece takes unexpected twists and turns. The first brushstrokes on this canvas were done by our adult art students and their families at a Holiday event. An accidental spill in art class led to a beautiful poured paint and drip canvas. The color choices make this work a joyful, playful, and pleasing experience. It is amazing to see what happens when we just keep working! “Tropical Stars” --- Our adult program artists grabbed some brushes, picked their favorite colors, and painted some stars. Just look at the fabulous outcome! The bold colorful bursts quickly took on a very botanical, almost jungle or rainforest feel. Wouldn’t it be fun to come across this shimmering, luscious and brightly colored tropical garden scene? “Pour, Scrape, Repeat!” --- Our CBI/SBI students exchanged their paint brushes for wooden stir sticks and popsicle sticks! An unconventional but engaging process of pouring dabs and lines of paint onto the canvas to then be scraped along the surface. Colors and fun shapes were layered and repeated. The end result is something with loads of color stories, dramatic energy and plenty of movement dancing through the canvas. “Happy, Happy, Rolling Spots” --- Our preschool students had a blast using rolling back scratcher tools from the Dollar Tree to create not one, but two harmonious canvases that would be a beautiful addition to any wall! These young artists giggled enthusiastically as the back scratchers bumped and rolled along the canvas. They loved the flower like colorful fields that they produced. This happy and spirited painting lesson comes alive in this piece.
