So far we have gathered enough art work to open an entire gallery exclusively of our Purple Room artists and each piece you will see is one of a kind, unique in its own way, and holds its own creativity. In short, it is priceless! I would highly encourage everyone to please take out some time from their everyday schedules to come for a tour of our art exhibition/sale this week. I bet you will feel like one proud parent! At the same time, it has been very motivating for our children to have this end purpose to their work.
Our productivity continues...
Using water colors and sea salt where we dripped water colors and sprinkled sea salt over...
The next day when it dried, we scraped the sea salt away, experiencing a very different texture underneath...and before being asked, they said they wanted to save this for the art sale!
When we explained that this would be the donation collection box for all the art sale proceeds, these friends got tremendously involved to make it look very appealing and fancy...they asked me if it is going to be filled up to the top with all the money. The only answer I could provide was to prepare them for marketing, because filling the box depends on how much art we sell ;) hehehe
At the beginning of the week we did some free tape art with them which somehow got extended to the building area. Neat!
Using tape as cement to put the wooded bricks together, while some even used tape to make roads and tracks...
Last week we enjoyed playing with the orange dough and got into the mood of Halloween...
L made a pumpkin patch...
D with her orange witch nails...and her witch laugh...hehehehheheehehe
A made a pumpkin with eyes and added the stem...
