http://knowitallinnj.blogspot.com/2014/10/drawing-room-cards-animals.html Drawing Room: Cards & Animals I didn't get to write about last week so I'll give you a 2 in 1. Last week the kids made holiday cards that can be printed as a real card. They drew whatever they wanted in a holiday theme and then painted them. The cards were then scanned and a copy was given to us parents to see what the finished card would look like. It's our choice... Read More

http://knowitallinnj.blogspot.com/2014/10/clay-time.html Clay-time Clay! The kids were excited to work with clay. It was a nice change up. They thought it was the coolest thing to see the clay cut with a wire. The assignment was to make small pumpkin/jack o'lantern covered bowls. They took a hunk of clay, cut it into two balls- one small and one large. Obviously the small one was going to be the lid and the bigger one was for the... Read More

http://knowitallinnj.blogspot.com/2014/10/scratch-art.html Scratch Art Monday was Art Experience class again. E loved this one. You could tell he was quite immersed in it because he had black finger paint marks all over his face by the end. They did scratch art. The best way to describe it is like one of my Blue Apron meals. So much work to get to a beautiful final result. You would just never think that all the "prep" is so... Read More

http://knowitallinnj.blogspot.com/2014/10/matisse-inspired.html Matisse Inspired It's been a busy week. I don't even know how it got to be Wednesday but here we are. I didn't get to write about this past Monday's art class at The Drawing Room until now. I said I'd write about it every week because every time I post about it, people ask more about the classes. I aim to please and I really think it's important to make sure everyone knows... Read More

http://knowitallinnj.blogspot.com/2014/09/still-life.html Still Life Yesterday was art class #2 at the Drawing Room in Midland Park. E is LOVING this class. I decided I'm going to blog weekly about it because I'm so impressed with his work, with the teachers, the way they teach and interact with the kids, and all the cool stuff they're doing. They use different mediums each week. I think that's great because they don't get bored and the door is opened... Read More

http://knowitallinnj.blogspot.com/2014/09/the-blue-dog.html The Blue Dog "The Blue Dog" E had his first real art class yesterday at The Drawing Room in Midland Park. Yes, he did a trial class last winter but he wasn't enrolled. He left that day asking when he can come back but I just couldn't add another activity then. I made the mental note then that I had to find time and money for it come September. I moved some stuff around... Read More

http://knowitallinnj.blogspot.com/2014/09/girlsmoms-night-out.html Girls/Moms Night Out! Other moms are always talking about wanting to go out but to do something DIFFERENT. Not just dinner or drinks but something fun and unique. I think this fits the bill for sure! Who says arts & crafts is just for kids? According to Pinterest, it's more the moms than the kids these days anyway. Except the bonus of being the mom is that you can do it with a glass... Read More
