$20/per person. Bring drinks and snacks to share. Paper products, glasses, and art supplies are provided!
So, what to create?! If you have a "pinterest" idea you haven't made time to create, we could do that. Have a specific theme, material, or color scheme in mind.....I can come up with a project for your group. Or, here are a few of my latest ideas:
GNO IDEA: RE-PURPOSE remix
*** Bring in a few pieces of art/notes/birthday cards that you cannot part with, or are meaningful to you. We will decoupage them onto the canvas, create a background, and turn it into a new piece of art. I will help you with composition, a color scheme and design ideas :)
*** My (blue) example was made with my son's first art pieces. This could be done with a special old note/photo/ticket stub, or photo of a special event, or other "artifacts!"
*These are my latest 3 favorite art pieces. The blue piece on the left has Pax's first paintings with the words he is saying now. (age 1)
* The middle is a painting by Charlotte (age 5)
* And, the one on the right is a collage of art that Charlotte did when she was 4.
*** Step by step, paint a house, landscape, and add text. Change the colors, patterns, and text to make it work for you. This was a reminder that I needed! Or, this could be a simple house shape, with the text inside of the house.
GNO IDEA: Cross on a hill...
*** Step by step you will paint a hill, clouds, flowers and a cross (or symbol of your choice). Change the colors, patterns, and text to make it work for you. Art is my therapy! What verse do you need to see everyday? Bring that with you!
GNO IDEA: CROSS with funky border...
*** Step by step you will paint a cross (or symbol of your choice) with a funky border. You can add a quote or verse.
GNO IDEA: BIRDS on a branch...
*** Step by step you will paint a background, tree and birds! You pick the colors and the birds can represent your family if you would like!
GNO IDEA: MIXED MEDIA BIRDS
*** We will paint the background with watercolor--or tempera blocks. Then collage the flowers and stems. Paint the flowers and stem details. And, add a collaged bird. This is a fun art piece that experiments with different materials.
GNO IDEA: BLESSINGS BOARD
***This is my latest favorite that I can't wait to make with a group. Similar to the first idea. But, a functional piece of art that can hold to-do lists, reminders of what we can be thankful for, or a place to list prayers. This could even be a family board that everyone can add to (on the clothespins).
***Bring a few photos you could use. We will collage different papers, create a color scheme, and add text.
(Creating this was super therapeutic for me...layers of meaning I can share later!)
So, the Stroller Strength women made shirts for a challenge they were doing. We created stencils & used spray tie-dye. That idea would be SUPER cute on onesies/shirts for kids. (paint nicknames/month/year shirts) Or, we can paint straight on shirts/onesies/or even shoes!
GNO IDEA: WALL HANGINGS
This is super fun, and pretty easy! Collage a boarder with different papers, paint a border, and add a name, phrase or quote on the inside. These are fun to hang in your house or create for someone else. These are on wood and ready to hang.
GNO IDEA: OPEN STUDIO!
*** I will have out paint, watercolor, collage paper, markers, pencils, and more. YOU PLAY. This is more about the process. Experimenting. I will help you but without a specific "plan", your group may or may not complete something "finished." This is very stress-free. Being with gals, chatting, and having busy hands is so so so therapeutic!
*** You could also bring a project you have been working on, or want to start. I will help as much as I can.
GNO IDEA: SCHEDULE A PARTY with friends in place of exchanging Christmas presents!! BOOK NOW!!
Build memories AND leave with a piece of art. And, no stress of searching for a present.
So, who do you want to invite?
When do you want to schedule it for?
What are you itching to create?
** I LOVE to come up with new ideas. Give me an idea of what you want to make...and we can brainstorm a project! I want you to have fun! Relax! Enjoy your company! AND, enjoy creating art!
