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? . . . . 🎨 Local art classes for creative kids and smart mamas at ArtAndSouls.com/classes . #hope #giacometti #washmo

Last fall, we enjoyed a tour of the Washington his 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. . . . #washmo #pottery .

🤔 How do you teach confidence? . One stitch at 🤔 How do you teach confidence? . 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. . . . #confidence #icandohardthings @emissourian Thanks for coming out to visit today! 📸 . 🎨 Be sure to join our class email list to be sure you get the latest announcement about her upcoming fall classes at www.ArtAndSouls.com/classes
