Trisha's still life- daisies

My 6 1/2 year old student Trisha did this painting. We went with a simple composition- a flower vase with a couple of different colored flowers. She designed where each flower would go and how big they would be. Initially, she wanted to do different kinds of flowers and the decided to keep the same kind but in various colors.
We then worked on pencil sketch first and then decided on the colors. She mixed her own colors and added depth by painting the petals with darker and lighter variations of the same color.
She did a great job and I love it!!

Harini's Acrylics on canvas

I absolutely love this painting done by my 6 year old student Harini! She loves dogs, so I decided to make her work on an acrylic painting of a dalmatian.
We started out by drawing the puppy on canvas. We broke down the shapes of the body into a simple structure by looking at a picture of a dog and then came back and refined it. She added all the details the way she wanted to.
When it came time to paint, Harini enjoyed picking the colors for the background and mixing it. The dog was white with grey dots and some basic shadows. She enjoyed mixing the greys and applying it all over.

Cool video about water problem

I saw this very cool video on vimeo.com. It talks about the problem of water shortage all over the world. But what i loved most about it was the creative artwork used to underline the problem. Take a look at the way the ink moves through the water! The artwork just emerges!!
