I was looking back at photos from our Spring term of classes, I took over 700 🤭🤪 so that's a thing, when I found this project that I designed for the first class of the term. I love to do a team building Icebreaker at the start of the term. This one was a real hit. The only material you need is toilet rolls and obviously you can add in other elements if you want, depending on the age group, for the older children, we added paper and gave them more challenging steps. You could do this si...

I'm fashionably late for world bee day 🐝 Buzzing (see what I did there 🤭) for this project at art camp this summer. And I found some amazing contemporary stained glass artists to show the campers, including some wonderful Irish artists. Watermelon definitely inspired by my latest craving for watermelons, so far I've mad watermelon 🍉 ice pops and watermelon and banana smoothies.

Ready to hang on the wall. These are the good days. A few months ago at our @thejennypace collective meet up, the ever lovely @betsybenn gave us each one of these prints. 😍 My husband on seeing it immediately stole it! We've been doing some work on our back garden shed in preparation for the baby's arrival. Not for the baby to go in, I should add! But this was the first piece we brought out to hang. When times are stressful or I feel overwhelmed with my to-do list, which I'll be honest -...

How we design a project for our summer campers. Lots of simple steps, breaking down the project into bite size chunks. With plenty of room for personalisation while still learning new art skills. The winning formulas for creative projects that inspire children of all art abilities is to remember that every student is unique and so is their artwork This art project is inspired by the colorful vibrant birds of Australia and Australian artists who's work is inspired by them. Can't wait ...
Wings or arms? Another summer camp project sample is graduating from Craft Corner HQ But is she an arms or a wings person?

How are you going to be creative this week? This quote is so true, I really do believe that the more you use the more you have or find within yourself. I see it with the kids in my art classes, the longer they do the classes, I see their imaginations and confidence in their ideas expand and grow. You can't use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have - Maya Angelou #quotesoncreativity #mayaangelou #artquotes #mondaymotivation #creativitythisweek
