peacock
March 11th, 2010

What do you do when your friend breaks your favorite blue plastic headband at rest time? You make a peacock – and that’s what we did!

The Woog was so upset when I picked her up from school yesterday but luckily we turned that frown upside down and made a Woogie Wednesday project out of the apparently catastrophic event:

Last week was Dr. Seuss week for the Woog and I found thins cute little drawing in her folder:

We also worked on a Woogie Wednesday/Weekday/Weekend project of the Cat in The Hat:

Snow Day Project
February 2nd, 2010

It’s Tuesday, but I’m posting a Woogie Wednesday/Weekend today. It was a snow day so the Woog wanted to work on a project for her teacher so we made a snowman together.

Here’s what we started with:

And the finished product:

She’s very excited to give it to Mrs. M. tomorrow!

Ice Ornaments
January 8th, 2010

One of my New Years resolutions this year was to get back on track with making art with the Woog. It is freezing here and it snowed so we probably won’t venture out for a few days. Yesterday morning we did a quick project and made ice ornaments. She used a collection of colored beads, paper and glitter while I mixed together some previous work illustrations.

One last piece of art to wrap up the countdown. This has been in my sketchbook for a while and thought it was a perfect piece for this little series.

Tomorrow is THE day!!

The Woog’s allergies finally caught up with her today so she’s been resting all afternoon so I decided to do a quick piece on my own.

Tomorrow: Art for 1 day to go!

Knowing my work, you should have expected an alphabet so that’s what we did today. The Woog wrote her alphabet and I used her letters in this design.

Tomorrow: Art for 2 days to go!

Picked some veggies in our garden today and decided to make a school picture of them all. I took the picture, printed it out and let her draw on that then overlayed her image onto the photograph. She decided to name all the kids (veggies) in her class (totally made up of course):

l to r: Mrs. M., (top row) Walker, Rexie (Principal’s son), Kate, Taylor, Principal, (bottom row) Malone, John, Luke

You can take a look at my quick one here.

Didn’t get a chance to post things yesterday but we did finger print art. This is apparently what we will all look like on the first day of school (art directed completely by the Woog).

We had done a piece together today and while getting the post together I heard her in the Kitchen yell “Daddy, come look at my bus, it’s better than Mommy’s!” So you be the be the judge (I think her’s is better). Her’s is below and ours is here.

Tomorrow: Art for 5 days to go!
