25.01.2022 The 6 ocean loving artists and their artwork that inspired the kids this week.

25.01.2022 We also experimented with printmaking, inspired by William Morris and his luscious repeated patterns of nature.

23.01.2022 Some poignant observations about the value of drawing. We can all draw and benefit from it. Kids love to draw but somehow once we are adults, most people forget this.

23.01.2022 To paint and to sip we shall go, we shall go.

22.01.2022 My afterschool art kids saw the painting I did for Jesss birthday and all wanted to have a go for themselves! We also looked at some of Monets famous sunset paintings for inspired too.

22.01.2022 Artbox is so thankful to have an amazing grammy who provides us with outrageously delicious afternoon tea each week! Thanks Deanne! You have lifted the bar (and calorie count!) and we feel absolutely spoilt and love it! Yum!

15.01.2022 Text based artworks from week 2 inspired by Ed Ruschas Oof. Who would have thought Oof was a thing in 1962?!?

15.01.2022 https://www.tate.org.uk/kids/explore/who-is/who-edgar-degas If you have kids at home who are missing their usual art lessons, perhaps check out this page all about Degas for kids. Then students could try drawing their own dancer (in pencil or pastel) or draw an asbract representation of a dance - use a continuous line to represent where the dance would move on the stage and then colour in the shapes made! Or try a lunch time doodle from my earlier posts!

14.01.2022 More zany critters inspired by Australian glass artist Tom Moore. I wish we had the time to animate these!!!
