Wrapping Up the Summer With Making Lessons

Look at those sweet faces and that sweet ART!
As I prepare for the Fall, I am not only working on the studio space, but I am also finishing up summer classes I taught called Making Lessons~The Art of Making Meaningful Things. These classes were so fun to teach through my church, First Presbyterian Church. I especially loved sharing spiritual truth from the Bible along with our projects, hence the meaningful things part! Here are some pictures of the fun we had making our Household of Faith Collage Canvases (or houseboats of faith :o) using my paraphrased version of Romans 12:9:18.
Mother and Daughter Duo made this masterpiece!
I love how they added the verse everywhere-super special


This mixed media collage has great detail and dimension!

Adding Rom. 12:9-18 to her canvas.

Doing art together is a great way to spend some time together!

Love the swirly sky, a bit Van Gogh-esque!

Finishing up the canvas with a nice coat of my favorite Mod Podge.

If this is something you wish you could have done, well don't despair, I will be offering these classes again this fall so check out my class list HERE and sign up(FYI: space is limited) I am also offering an adult class and student classes too, a little something for everyone! Any questions send me an email via the contact box to the left.
