I like to kick things off by having the students work on stamp carvings. We do a print at the studio and then they can take their stamps home to make cards for friends and family afterwards.
Here are a few created by some students last week in class. I'll have to add what the high school students create this week too.
9 year old
Love the Snowman Cat and her idea for a card message? "Have a Meowy Christmas". brilliant.
11 year old
She wondered if you could tell it was a puppy. How could you not? It's adorable and I wonder if this is a gigantic hint for what she would like to see in her stocking this year?!
8 year old
When his mom came to pick him up and saw the print, she immediately exclaimed,"It's our fireplace!" I had no idea he was referencing his own house while he was making this piece. I love that it is all a bit off kilter. I think it adds a lot of charm and personality to the mouse hiding under the hat. Although his mom thought it was the cat and maybe it's best she keeps thinking that now that I know this is the students actual living room.......
Ho, Ho, Ho everyone! From here on out, the studio will be a very busy Santa's Workshop as the students start creating projects they can ultimately give away as gifts. My post might be waning for the short term as I won't want to give away any surprises.
