I was sick!

I got the cough that has been going around and had to cancel my Wednesday class.  Sorry if I messed up schedules!  Hope everyone has a great and sunny weekend!  See you next week.

Below is a picture of a magnetic whale that Noah made during a class last week!

Creature Footprints

Yesterday, we created these creature footprints using paper stencils and mud.  We each designed a creature and then created the footprint.  Together, the footprints looked a large creature had walked down the sidewalk outside of the Fremont Community School!

Silk Scarves and more!

For the December Parent-Child Gift Making Classes at the Fremont Community School, we will be dying scarves for family members that will end up looking something like this photo.

Please join us for this one time class!!!

Made from what?

This creature was made from natural materials that we found on a walk around the neighborhood.  From the picture it’s hard to tell, but the creature has a body made of two large leaves, fingers made of leaves and petals, a neck made of a twig and a belly button made from a small green tomato!  We pasted this all onto a large piece of fabric and then drew the background details on with a marker!

A Trip Under the Sea!

Future sight of the Submarine! See the bumpers…

During the Trip Under the Sea class, we will building a life-sized submarine in the front garden area of the Fremont Community School. We started construction on the submarine by drilling a board to the fence that will support the found car bumpers that we will use for the frame. We also cleared the area and made the ground flat by raking and adding leaves.

After working outside, we moved in to make some painted submarines that have transparent window looking out into the sea. Each created different kinds of fish, plant-life and imaginary sea-life by drawing with markers on the transparency film. Then we cut out the windows of the submarine and taped the transparencies to the back.
