Spring Show 2019

Kids have been working hard all year so far. I have been saving the best of the best and it's time to make the big reveal. Join us this Thursday from 6-:7:30 at the Hall of Honor in the Alba-Golden high school. Students from all of the district will be on display for all to see. 

Come out and support your local youth artists.

Okay Teachers. Its that time again. First day of school is soooo close!

People always ask me, "Do your posters print well bigger?"

I think so. I originally make them the size of computer paper, scan them at the highest quality and then print them to whatever size at my local print shop. 

(see above).

Let me give you a PRINT HINT!!!...

I signed up for Walgreens photo, Walmart photo and CVS photo. 

I get coupons for printing out things. I wait for the coupon to be 50% or so and then do my poster printing thing in one swoop each season. This is a good way to save. 

This is what my store looks like from an Iphone

Designing the hands. A variety of skin tone colored constitution paper can be used for this part. Trace hand with pencil, outline with maker. Begin basic designs with a pencil and move onto marker for more intricate lines and designs to save time.

Using a marker a shade darker than paper around the inside of the hand line will give the hand a shadow look for a more 3-D effect.

 Creating an Indian Style Background

It is common to see radial design in symmetry in most Indian designs. 

 Fold the paper into 4 anywhere on the paper. 

Open up paper, put a dot in the center of the fold (on X)

 Use a compass to make concentric circles around the dot.

 Use the X to help keep your designs even in the circles. Use a pencil first, then move onto marker for the more intricate designs. 

 Marker for further details...

 Glue down hands and use crayons or markers to add touches of color to the background paper.

Optional with border only
