On the first Thursday of every month since October we have been holding Art Club at the library. We also tried something new with programs right after school and having me, the Youth Services Librarian, pick up any children from the K-8 school and walking them across the parking lot to the library.
So far in the our monthly Art Club program we have done Dot Painting, similar to what the aboriginals supposedly did (according to Pinterest) see picture below (if you look closely there is a sea turtle in all those dots):
In November when everyone met we did life size portraits of each child by tracing them and then letting the child fill the outline in with their likeness.
In December we made Holiday Cards which ended with a big mess of cutouts from the shape punches (especially the snowflake one).
Now into the new year; in January we made these adorable bears with ball ornaments and pom poms. Below you will see the one I made which looks like Winnie the Pooh. I added a mouth afterwards when I saw the picture and noticed he didn't have one. Other the kids made two each, mine was the example.
