Klimt's The Kiss.

May 21, 2012 by

Let’s move on to something a little nicer. Remember we were looking at this? Over Friday and the weekend we thought we would have a go at a representation of this picture in…. Hama beads! And here is the finished article. Rather a good piece of collaborative art we thought 🙂 What I loved about […]

Klimt inspired art.

May 17, 2012 by

I needed a shove today to get creative (actually, I needed several shoves just to get upright 🙁 ) and thankfully Maggie from Red Ted Art came through with her new Kids Get Arty linky. As an aside, Maggie did a lovely guest post for me on MuddlePuddle the other week, which is a really […]

Exploring Artists – Paul Corfield

April 5, 2011 by

I know I said we had finished, but actually the girls and I had a bit of a spin off art moment today, which we all really enjoyed. It started, as these things so often do, with a game Fran and I were playing called Tiny Wings which has rather lovely artwork, of a very […]

Nature Walk – March

March 10, 2011 by

On my list of things to do is getting out more and visiting the same places as the seasons change. I plan every month – I missed Jan/Feb but I’m not going to beat myself up about that. On Tuesday we went to Burghley House for a walk and looked at Spring springing. It’s a […]

Art Day – Perspective

February 28, 2011 by

Today we were focusing on perspective which… um… helped us all keep perspective. Just about 😆 As days go, it was one of the ones which we all found a bit tough, due to tiredness, but as it happened, some really good artwork appeared, which goes to show it is worth persevering 🙂 We started […]

Kandinsky Resource for Kids

February 5, 2011 by

You might remember that last summer, Zoe and I did some Kandinsky work with our children. The resulting project, with various ideas, got blogged here, among other places. It was a great way to try out various different artist materials. It also inspired us to play with Hama Beads to recreate the famous Concentric Circles […]

Last weeks Latinetc & this weeks Historyetc

January 28, 2011 by

Here I am, back to record keeping.  Of all the myriad of reasons for doing that, along with ‘people come a read this blog and then tell me they started to home educate because it seemed do-able from what I write’ (a fact that is occasionally worrying to say the least!) I think my best […]

Matisse/Klee Art Day

November 7, 2010 by

There is always a danger to deciding to make plans – and that tends to be for me that I automatically rebel and stop working to them 🙄 I think this is probably a behaviour I should have outgrown by now. Anyway, we did an Art.etc day with added Beans which was really lovely. I […]
