Text of the page (random words):
y as this chaos makes creativity happen certainly not my style of creativity i left off with an art lesson at the art gallery we are now back in school and i needed to do some kind of clean up the rooster wants the computer down and more accessible so i took it from my work area and replaced it with accessible marking material then the cleared space quickly refilled with possibles piles of paper have shifted to piles of a curriculum which has me tremendously excited but first the rooster s genealogy genes have surfaced and that s why he wants an accessible research tool knock knock a ukrainian bee keeper brought his bees for a visit another learning experience for hubby as he tried to remember basic ukrainian and the kiddies learnt about bees we also got chicks and the grand kiddies have even gotten in on their chores and back to his roots we are going the municipality honours the early ukrainian settlers we will be spending our sunset years in the little town of sundown that beautiful meadow the rooster liked so much the papers are in our hands and we have chatted with the neighbours in fact we joined the line up for the harvest supper and met some more friendly people we have also signed with a young fellow to build us a small bi level he has offered some helpful changes and he is as anxious to get started as we are i feel like we are on the same page and he understands our vision next step is a general meeting of drillers and diggers and line men so we can place everything on the site it is unrealistic to anticipate every eventuality but we are doing our level to best to limit the we shoulda s so much of my creativity has been in tweaking the new house plan and figuring building placements and landscape generalities once the shovel goes into the ground i shall take a few breaths before turning thoughts to paint colours in the meantime i am continuing my style journey i have my colours figured and the above is close but i need a bit softer a very exciting few months is coming up as the team is helping us discover our individual style this just resonates with me as i have been on the trial to discover me and the artist within it stalled because well it is scary awk will i like me but the community is so supportive and we are all wanting answers i m excited as this will push the art me out into the light a bit more one lady suggested i had perkinality that s from spanky and our gang i liked that so am i a naturally classic perkinality or a classic perkinality naturally lol a style club member suggested i look up an art program for students and it has just been amazing i blew the art budget and not on supplies deep space sparkle is an amazing resource this isn t so much crafts as art and fun i want them and me to learn things we study artists and the themes are not just pumpkins and valentines specific lessons have about 7 different grade levels so i can simplify or step it up it is also literature based and the local library is most helpful i have changed things up and the grand kiddies come back sunday with us then monday morning i have our breakfast chores and plan for the day scheduled i can take them back that afternoon or give their mother a longer break i do things different from their mum and so this is my classroom and we do things my way much better it also means i don t forget necessary supplies o school begins with our traditional if you are happy and you know it clap stamp shout then your art is gonna show it dog may have followed them to school but was not included in the seating plan we then start with filling out a 6 time line on kraft paper where we added the first cave art and we ll end with current artists i have broken the 10 months into 10 main art periods 1 artist per month second period is an art element for the month or an art principle we are starting with a dot that goes for a walk a line sparkle has lists of lessons focusing on line the cave drawings are all about line then we drag out our nature journals we will focus on trees but the kids do this everyday at home and are making art tables and collecting bugs in jars feathers and such for winter study i just keep the journals moving along science and all is their mother s job recess happens while i get ready for the second half pant pant our artist this month is wasily kandinsky i like his work and i don t know about the kids but i am learning lots he is russian and the first abstract artist to get recognition i am hoping the story book the noisy paint box gets here before next monday though there is youtube lol our main project is where we get messy and make a related big project crumpled kraft paper replicates cave walls their mum has asked we include a folktale so i have a list and try to get that in while they work if not we can do it after lunch the yard garden and fruit trees have been amazing kinda makes us wonder why we want to leave then we had another wind storm and more shingles blew off the barn so we rolled up our sleeves for clean up and went right on downsizing i have been trying to revive my flagging baking skills gluten free scones need lots of work but were edible at least when warm i shall have to use my creative skills to tweak the recipe the cookies worked the wee town has a small post office and that is it we are going back to the land sort of and finally i am going to have to get creative with time the rooster hasn t retired yet but we are glued at the hip when he is home so i need to be thinking how i can manage my blog life in the future so as the gals say in the style club comments and suggestions welcome posted by elle at 5 38 pm 4 comments labels creativity friday july 28 2017 creative instruction art 101 the grand kiddies are home schooled their mother and i have a vision for the art program it is not about doing crafts which does not thrill me at all so i totally am on board with the art program including art history nature studies journaling techniques and understanding we all are learning as we go along a new year is approaching and the ideas are rolling in when i heard that pablo picasso was being featured at the winnipeg art gallery the wag i did some research and thought we need to do this i have coveted a big gallery experience for them and kinda thought they might be a bit young the youngest 5 did indeed think so as there wasn t a lot of colour in his palette and there were a lot of sketches which were hung at an adult s eye level but we all enjoyed it so very much and learnt lots it is a very big experience for little art students and was totally kid friendly i am learning right along with my students we knew not to touch i was reading the questions specifically for kids when josh sat down on the platform photos with no flash are okay a photo opportunity i felt someone come to stand behind me as i talked about art to the kids and got my camera ready and the photo taken you now see a no no the nice security man listened and smiled and then told me the platform is a buffer and not to be touched either oops but he was very nice as were all the staff incidentally this is where understanding comes in picasso was a master class artist and could do remarkably life like portraits by the time he was 14 years old but his intense passion was to do more than paint likenesses he wanted to paint what he saw and what he felt above is a portrait of him his wife and his son can you see three faces he spent most of his 91 years trying to unlearn the traditions and learn to paint like a child that resonates with me because if i want i can just use my camera to record images portraying what i see and feel is an whole nother matter altogether the kids centre was wonderful in fact some adults tried things as well framed glass was available to trace one s friends and make art josh did jolina and eliana did me then josh got very busy we had spent time talking about lines and shape on a small painting we d seen and he was replicating it from memory i was so impressed he ran off to check and came back and confirmed it was the same picasso was very prolific and worked in many mediums jolina liked the pottery and plates best as they had more colour i had known that he also did collage my and eliana s favourite after a lovely roof top lunch and the sculpture garden we went to the permanent gallery perhaps we should have gone there first at it portrays the history of art we will definitely be returning after we have studied that a bit more eliana just lighted up when she saw the art supplies in the gift shop jolina had a wish list as well josh went for big works of art and surprisingly the jewelry he learned about big numbers but i wanted souvenirs that would further our studies these were for sharing but the 9 magnets are reminders but very easy for jolina to copy the wee puzzle helps eliana stop and see all the details the cards will provide details for josh and also familiarize them all with artists and their works the book is a treat very instructive and interactive finishing with two sheets of collage parts i ll photocopy them for the young artists to practice with and me too i just may have blown the art budget for the first trimester but interestingly enough creativity overlaps into many areas of our life i am trying to find creative ways to clothe myself i bought some fashion books as well as art books i was amazed by timeless beauty which uses art as examples of how to create beautiful profiles and silhouettes it will spend as much time in the art room as it will my sewing room and closet and mona winks is a delightfully short but entertaining explanation of various museums which favour the certain eras you kinda feel like you are there and he is a hoot i have learned that grey is a good neutral for me and silver is such a great accessory i had thought glitter and metallics were for the young girly girls no it adds such highlights to our aging bodies i am a believer and i may not be a girly girl but i can sure be a senior with sparkle now to find the perfect purse so i can spark some creativity the museum silk scarves were way beyond my budget even with creative refiguring lol garden wise we have been trying to get everything lovely for next year and the new owners this year the blooms have been remarkable both on the trees and shrubs as well as the perennials this has been more practical instruction as i observe the length of time for the trees to reach maturity as well asthe expansion tendencies of shrubs and perennials i m taking note of favourites green white variegation s and pleasing groupings maintenance levels are also dully noted and i don t think we ll be having any vines other than clematis the rooster is right if they were once well behaved they have left that stage far behind i am kinda excited to leave this one in good shape and turn to making another creation instruction is always good even constructive criticism it just helps us be that much more creative posted by elle at 12 49 pm 3 comments labels art gallery art101 creativity picasso monday july 10 2017 complex creativity summer should be spent in a comfy chair on a deck by cool running water with some nice cold lemonade close at hand not the case here by any means as we clock up the miles scouring the highways and byways and then returning to tackle the near and far corners of our current yard first up the rooster has fallen in love with 5 acres of meadow in a wee town just houses 2 churches graveyards a community hall and a post office in some one s porch but it is looking most promising the site is a lush wildflower meadow and the trees bush are on the perimeter it has what us flatlanders call a hill lol see those round bales on it that would be a good place for a house which leads me to my first creative endeavour that doesn t involve any of my messy supplies as a young fiancee my rooster promised me a new house it just hasn t been something i have held him to but he can t help mentioning that it may take 50 years but we ll see way too many options but i do know what we like and how we actually do life so from 3 plans to a few tweaks on the favourite and then will be the tally since the actual house plan went fairly smoothly i began to think about the outside i did take a landscape course way back when i have managed to save the best resources and went to hunt them from the depths of the book closet oh fun this will give us lots of things to talk about during those cold winter months the trick will be to contain our enthusiasm to match our energy and resources my very favourite book is outside the not so big house i am putting all kinds of sticky notes on the page edges i do like the not so big concept the rooster is particularly interested in the maintenance aspect lol while our house is sold we will maintain the yard until we have our own place secured so we have been making sure all the grass is cut and trimmed sadly the young trees that were to protect the big barn roof didn t survive the winter spring turn over except one but everything else is lush and almost too bountiful remember the blue coop that was from that landscape course brainstorming and it is off in a far corner i am still thoroughly enjoying the 40 style club this month is colour and we are encouraged to get creative with our neutrals and our colour combinations i am a cool winter and a low to medium contrast i do have an odd pull to warm colours and since colour can be complicated i wondered if this gal colorbreeze might have something to add she bases her concept on albert munsell s colour tree which totally resonates with me as i like his colours wouldn t this make a great colouring page for the grand kiddies another fascinating fashion tool is beauty bundles since i adore making up vignettes this totally captivates me who knew one could make an whole outfit around choosing a few items from a beauty bundle pick your favourite neutral and get creative i don t have a lot of red so scooped up some beads to make some creative accessories at the bridal shower we attended over the weekend they had props for taking fun photos the girls picked their favourite beauty bundles and of course their mother is planning for next year s home school curriculum and wants a staff meeting with the art department moi jolina 5 just had a birthday and wanted art supplies while i drove her home she was busy opening things and trying them out she has been my keenest art student and her official school start is this fall so i need to come up with lots of creative projects and one last photo to remind us all to stop and smell the roses even when summer is at its busiest and most creative pst those are lilies and smell heavenly the white roses are way at the end and the very last ones beat the lilies hands down for fragrance posted by elle at 3 22 pm 10 comments labels beauty bundles
