I am reading a book about artists to students and

I am reading a book about artists to students and it mentioned Alberto Giacometti, a Swiss sculptor and artist in the 1920s. His tall, wiry human forms became his signature work. Minimalist in form, they convey a great deal of emotion about the human experience.
.
Looking closely at the forms, You can see subtle nuances about each character. The tilt of the head, gesture of hands and arms quickly tells the story of the character.
.
🎨 Make art (mess free!) with us today. Explore this project by grabbing a 12 to 15 inch long piece of aluminum foil and forming a head at one end of the sheet. Rip a ‘V’ shape to create the armpit area for limbs and keep shaping down the sheet to form the body. Rip the remaining foil at the bottom up the middle in a vertical line to create two sections for legs and flat feet. Set your figure on a ledge and try to make it sit up on its own.
.
Pay attention to the subtle gestures, jawline, direction of its gaze, the slump of the back, the lift of the hand and all the small details to add expression to your figure.
.
It’s a good day to reflect on your week and to ask your kids about their week when you make this project.
.
Using gestures alone, what is your figure saying?
.
What emotions is it feeling and sharing today?

✍️ In college, I studied drawing and painting. I knew then that by learning 2D design, it would inform my 3D artwork. Those lessons still help me today.
.
The September lineup of creative classes at Art & Souls Creative Studio focus on some of these same lessons and other favorites I have taught during my last 20 years with students. These one-day art classes are offered during the day for homeschool and remote learning students, plus a Saturday morning for more kids. Groups are welcome, too. Check out the new classes at ArtAndSouls.com/classes or in bio. Here’s a preview:

. ✈️ Perspective Drawing -flat to 3D shapes, one and two point perspective
.
👤Figure Drawing -drawing mannequins, people, and plush animals
.
🗒 Paper Designs - learn to make three-dimensional projects using just paper

Last fall, we enjoyed a tour of the Washington historical society museum near Downtown Washington. I loved sharing the Washington pottery exhibit with a homeschool group during our tour. When the late director, Mark Houseman, asked me to write down some of the facts I shared with the group about pottery, that began a collaboration with the museum curator, Lauren Seidel, and board members to refresh the local exhibit.
.
I learned about the history of Pottery Road and Clay Avenue in Washington and toured some of the sites where local potters dug local clay. If you’ve not been to the museum to see the new pottery exhibit, be sure to stop by Tuesday through Saturday from 10 AM to 4 PM or on Sunday from 12 PM to 4 PM at 113 E 4th Street, Washington, Mo. The space upstairs at the museum is dedicated to zithers, the pottery exhibit, another three dimensional objects your kids will be sure to love!
.
Thank you to the Washington Historical Society for allowing me to contribute to our town’s history.

One stitch at a time, friends.

Today was sewing day at Art Camp2. 🧵 I invited my local sewist friends (@swiftfoxclothing and @theotherandreamartin and @theresa.holz ) to come teach the tools of their trade to more than 20 local kids at The Studio today.
.
The students made canvas bags with straps perfect for 📚 reading, 🎨 crafts, 💎 and other treasures. While their bags are versatile, the best thing about them is the confidence it created in the students.
.
Their smiles and exclamations like, “I did it!” and “Look at mine!” had them grinning with pride seeing a project that they had never tried before come together.
.
Now THAT is the lesson I hope they carry with them long after a week at Art Camp2.

Choosing new glaze colors for pottery is so hard t

Choosing new glaze colors for pottery is so hard to do alone, so will you help us decide?! 🤷‍♀️
.
We are shopping for new food-safe glazes to use during our upcoming Glazefest being held on August 14. Students who have made claywork before in our pottery classes are invited to bring their artwork back to the studio to add food-safe glaze.
.
Glaze = paint for pottery; powdered colorant painted onto pottery that changes to a glass-like finish on kiln fired pottery
.
What colors should we get? Please drop the name of your fav color below, or tell us by number (left to right)...1, 2, 3, 4, etc.
.
🎨 We can’t wait to see what colors catch your eye! 👀 Wonder what colors will be the most popular!?
.
Thank you for your help! 👏👏👏

They said they’ve always wanted to learn the skill to make pots on the wheel and it got me thinking about my own dreams. 🤔

Summer ☀️ “Most days are sunny and fun, but the clouds ☁️ roll in when my kids ask me to help them make an art project. 😳 I’m overwhelmed and don’t even know where to start.”
.
We hear that a lot. As a mom, you see that your kids have interests beyond your own abilities or expertise, but you want to encourage their growth. We have the perfect solution for you! Give them the place to learn art techniques at ArtCamp2 with me and local artists at Art & Souls Creative Studio. You will help them foster creativity and give them the tools they need to succeed in making their ideas come to life! 👩‍🎨
.
Our special art camp week is filled with lessons about drawing, concepts of 2D design, painting, color theory, weaving, sewing, and pottery. They will get to explore all types of art materials...and make a mess at our place… not yours! We have the solution you have been looking for! Sign your kids up for ArtCamp2 July 26-30 at ArtAndSouls.com/classes.
.
Pssst... don’t wait to sign up - our first week of Art Camp sold out in just three days. 😳 We only have a handful of seats left for ArtCamp2, so grab a seat for your budding artist today and give them what they have been asking for! Good job, mama! We are cheering you on! 👏👏👏

I love the physical nature pottery. It’s hard labor to reclaim clay, smear it out on the table, and wedge it up again to be remade into new work.
While the making may catch your attention, it’s the remaking that makes me come undone. It is the part I love the most.
.
Wedging is a physical reminder that God has brought me out of some tough places and set me on a firm place. No matter the circumstance, the past, or words from others, I am at peace when I am centered on Jesus.
.
Have you walked the same path? Do you need a solid place to stand that is rooted in timeless and unchanging ways of Jesus? I do. I need that in the daily.
