art love magic
Things have been so busy, I completely forgot to share these sweet photos from my last children's art workshop. The giant engineer print of my work from Photojojo worked as a perfect backdrop that the kids could color and write on as well.
Thank you to Dallas creative non-profit Art Love Magic for including me in the fun and making these free workshops accessible to kids of all ages and backgrounds!
I'm so excited to now have my very own "projects" page in Sakura of America's Creative Inspiration section on their site! You can now download and print FREE PDFs of worksheets to color and adorn here! I'll be adding more on a regular basis, so be sure to check back often.
A little back story on the worksheets: Back in February, I had the privilege of being part of an Interactive Children's Art Workshop hosted by the local non-profit, Art Love Magic at Southside on Lamar in downtown Dallas. These workshops are held several times a year, and aims to allow children ages 4-16 to work alongside real artists in an open studio environment. I love this approach because it provides children the opportunity to experiment with many different mediums, as well as interact with established artists and other kids in a way is more organic than overly structured. Rather than just offer the kids paper and pens to draw with, I decided to print off these blank-faced worksheets. They were a huge hit among children and adults, and I hope you'll enjoy coloring them as well.
If you end up printing them for yourself or young ones, I'd love it so much if you shared your result. You can post them in the comments or on my Facebook page. Have fun!
I'll be a live visual artist at Art Love Magic's monthly Art & Coffee event on April 12th at BuzzBrews in Deep Ellum! I've done several of these in the last year, and it's always a carefree, wonderful time for everyone involved. Come out and enjoy the beautiful weather, fresh coffee, and some of the most creative people in Dallas doing what they love.
This edition will encompass a Jazz theme, and feature a swing dancing demonstration by the Acme Swing Company, DJ Sissy Ross spinning her special brand of acid jazz,
Patricia Ann Islas playing the vibraphone, and much more!
