Welcoming Autumn (Art with Kids)


This is obviously a bit of a catch-up post but I didn't want to abandon these sweet photos so please forgive me :)

I wanted to show you some of the completely gorgeous art created by the boys and their friends.

Four children and the wonderful E (who teaches art at one of the local Steiner schools) met at our house every second Tuesday last term to create just this sort of magic. Mostly I left them alone, but I couldn't help but slip in on their final lesson to document it.


Welcome Autumn.
Wet-on-wet watercolour painting.


While the paper soaked in water for a few minutes E held court telling a story that would blend with the artwork as the lesson unfolded.


Creative. Inspiring. Freeing. Oh, and fun. The boys really enjoyed having their out-of-school-time friends joining them for a change.


 Paintings complete it was time to work with Chalk Pastels.


The subtle variations of a common thread.


Voila!
And now our house is filled with the glow of autumn even as winter steps ever closer...
