This lesson was super fun! These are examples of 6th grade work: We had already been working on positive and negative space for two weeks prior to this lesson. Here is an example of the first lesson that we worked on: Once they understood the concept of cutting out a shape along an axis and flipping it over to the other side to create a mirror image, we were ready for bugs. I actually found this lesson on Pinterest. Here is the link to the post from Pinterest (the photo does not go to a blog or credit a teacher, but I wanted to post where I found it): http://pinterest.com/pin/44543483785160136/. We started the lesson by looking over a handout I made showing the shapes of various types of bugs. I demonstrated how to draw half of a bug on each edge of a white rectangle. I also emphasized that each but needs to be cut-out VERY NEATLY! Make sure to tell them that they are saving both the bug and the background piece so they can't 'over cut' or cut around the shape and cut the details later. After they cut out the large shape of their bug, they needed to cut a small shape out of the body. Next, they flipped the shape along the line of symmetry to create a positive and negative image. Good luck!! The results are quite stunning when put on display.

Zendala a bit different this time. Always good to have challenges! I really appreciate Erin's commitment to provide the weekly Zendala Dare challenge. A few posts ago I sent out a challenge to repeat a zentangle inspired art piece using the three secondary colour schemes. Here are my efforts. I used Marg Bemner's string #20. Tangles and patterns are Cubine, Holibaugh, Crescent Moon, Camelia, Moonflower and Ninja. Complementary colour scheme of red and green, using coloured pencils (Derwent Artists) Blue and orange. Media watercolours (Winsor and Newton pans) Purple and Yellow using coloured pencils. I love to try different colour combinations. Whilst only black and white are used for true zentangles, and I really do enjoy creating those, I also enjoy the adventures colour provides. In fact I think I will explore the Split Complementary colour schemes!! If you are joining in I would love to know. You may create split complementary schemes by using one colour with the two colours either side of its opposite colour. Create your own colour wheel to explore all the options. It is an adventure!!

Presso la Scuderia del Castello di Miramare a Trieste, è ospitata una mostra, dai contenuti straordinariamente significativi, di opere di Joan Mirò, l'esposizione si protrarrà fino al 7 novembre 2010. La manifestazione si inserisce nell'ambito della “Notte dei Musei”, evento a diffusione europea e fortemente voluto dal Ministero per i Beni Culturali e le Attività Culturali. Questa mostra è stata realizzata grazie alla promozione della Sopraintendenza per i Beni Storici, Artistici e Etnoantropologici del Friuli Venezia Giulia ed il concorso di altri importanti Enti Pubblici Italiani, che hanno permesso, grazie al loro sostegno, la realizzazione di una monografia d'autore che va ad arricchire quanto già proposto dallo spazio espositivo delle Scuderie del Castello di Miramare. I fantastici disegni di Mirò completano l'insieme creativo dando vita ad una visione onirica di ciò che è reale, indubbiamente, ma chiamato a dare una nuova dimensione, un nuovo valore evocativo a quell'insieme di grafia e di pigmento, un esperimento di estremo coraggio, premiato dal successo e dal grande valore, spesso ignorato della sperimentazione.
