I guide the kids to draw a large oval, and divide the face to get the proportions. Frida Kahlo was our inspiration, since she did so many self portraits.

We had some extra time, so I filled it up by teaching them to fold fortune tellers (known as cootie catchers back in my day.)

Lunch bags

november 10, 2011'
Lunch bags were the project today! I got them from Discount School Supply.
I had the kids draw some design drawings on paper first, then onto plain flat canvas. Then they did the lunch bag using fabric markers from Tulip   donated by Pokey Bolton.

The kids come from different schools in San Diego, so it's great to observe them talking and making friends, while they make art.

And tracing and cutting the optional bird templates, that the kids could use or make their own designs.

With such a huge class (24 this time!) my husband and Janice have been volunteering to help me.

Look at this group of happy kids! Wow! I was traveling the last two weeks, so Tomoko filled in to help the kids paint their papier mache stuff from the week before.

If you'd like to support this after school art program, that is free to the kids, you can donate here. Be sure to designate Mundo Lindo ~ Education Department.

Then Amy Williams filled in for the other week. Looks like the kids did some cool drawings of Amy's collection of plastic animals.
