Multimedia Pandas

 Today we learned about pandas and their environments.
We learned many pandas live in China.

 We created a panda using a drawing technique which is a step by step instructor led process.

We created an environment for our pandas. We used paper as bamboo and used chalk pastels and paint to add interest to our compositions.

Did you know that the Giant Panda Bear does not hibernate- like other bears?

Your kids can discover the world of fine arts and crafts at the Bellevue Arts Museum (BAM) this Friday evening.  The museum is open late the first Friday of every month and we offer, in partnership with BAM, a kid-friendly workshop!  Kids get to meet other young artists from around the area, take an age appropriate tour of the highlighted exhibit, eat a pizza dinner, and create a one-of-a-kind masterpiece inspired by the artist they toured in the exhibit! All while parents get to have a nice dinner out or do some shopping at local Bellevue Square!

In our project honoring artist Kelly Connole we will be making a scene from a memory or a favorite place. Our scene will draw from our thoughts, good feelings and creatures we encounter in the  places we like to play. After seeing the artists display the children will be inspired to remember a favorite from; birds of prey at the state park or dogs and cats in our own back yards. We will create them in playful scenery with air dry clay, graphite drawing pencils and charcoal in order to mimic Kelly Connole’s black and white imagery.
