Hi Kids,
This week I decided it would be a great time to do a patriotic op art lesson. Op art is short for optical art, which is an abstract art form using optical illusions. What an awesome time to do some patriotic art to show our love of the country! We have all come together to help others during this unusual time in our history, especially our first responders and healthcare workers. We also have Memorial Day and the 4th of July coming up. I think I'm going to hang mine in a window so everyone can see it. Directions for the artwork: First Trace your stars with a pencil onto white paper turned horizontally, or Draw the stars Freehand. I am including star patterns if you want to use them. Use however many stars you like, and put them on the paper wherever you think they look good. Next, you will divide your paper up into equal-sizeD horizontal stripes using your pencil. You can Use a ruler to help with this. I used a 9 inch X 13 inch sheet of construction paper and made 9 stripes, each 1 inch wide. If your paper is a different size, you can ask your parents for help getting the stripEs even or just "eyeball" the stripes yourself. You can also use a different number of stripes if you like. Next, figure out the pattern and start coloring! Start By Making a red stripe At the top of the paper, But Don't Color inside the stars. then go back and color the part of the star inside the red stripe Blue. Then make the next stripe white and color the Part of the star inside that stripe red. Now you have your pattern and you just repeat. Take your time and have fun! Ms. Ginger

Hi Kids,
This week's Online Art Club lesson is "A Day at The Beach"! It is one of my favorite scenes to draw because I grew up near the beach in Charleston, SC. I used colored pencils but as always you can use whatever Art Supplies you have on-hand. Have fun and be creative by adding different things you love at the beach!
Hey art club kids. I miss you all very much! Here is another awesome Byrdhouse Online Art Club Lesson for you. Meet Peter the Painter! I used a pencil to draw my bunny and crayons to color my artwork, but you can use whatever you have on hand. Be creative and colorful. I hope you enjoy this Springtime art project. Stay well and have fun! - Ms. Ginger
