Private 1 to 1 Clay Art Lesson

After our KL trip, my princess has been reminding me about the Sesame Street clay art project we plan to do at home. 

Finally I have kept my promise and had a wonderful private clay art lesson with her. 

Before this afternoon lesson with her, I have tried doing clay Elmo and Cookie Monster alone in the morning when she was in her school. Well, it was my first Resin Clay art in my life so I have to make sure I can do it well before I teach my princess.  Very responsible and professional teacher huh?! Lol.

Actually it is quite easy. For Elmo, we need clay as follow:
-red for his round/oval face
-orange for the oval nose
- white for the eyes
- black for the eye pupils and big semi-circle shaped mouth. 

As for Cookie Monster, we need:
- blue for his round/ oval face
- white for the eyes
- black for the eye pupils and big semi-circle shaped mouth.

For the furry look, we can either poke many holes or use scissors to cut. These projects are suitable for beginners. Well, practice make perfect. ^^

Upper one are my 2nd attempt, the lower one are my first masterpieces.

Clay Art Project at Publika

My younger sister and I decided to let my princess to try 1 session of clay art at Publika, near Mount Kiara, KL during our trip in May 2013. 

We are allowed to choose any art work from their samples and do the project at their shop for about 2 hours. The 1 time project (RM75) includes teaching and art materials.  

My princess chose a cute ladybug as her first clay art lesson in her life. We are all excited about it.

Basically the teacher guided my princess to mix color, roll the clay into round shape and stick at places where the teacher has placed some glue. Throughout the lesson, my princess just listened attentively and followed instructions without any complaints.  Her motor skills are not perfect yet but I can see she was trying her best to do the art. I feel very proud of her! *sob

Due to limited time constraints, we left the place once her project was completed.  (About an hour) After the session, I did buy more clay art materials back as I plan to let my princess to have more chances in playing this fun art. 

I can't wait to teach her to do her favorite characters at home. Her Sesame Street friends are Elmo, Cookie Monster, Big Bird, Grover, Oscar etc. I believe I have to learn to be a patient and creative mother who can teach my princess in many things in a fun way. It is never easy to be a full time mother.  Since I can't change my 'job' at the moment, I better embrace it with all my enthusiastic and love, enjoy every moment and cherish every single day. 

Happy Mother's Day to all mothers and me! ^^

Happy Teacher's Day

My princess' s school requested all students to handmade Teacher's Day card this year. So I have bought some fingers art tool and other art materials to make this happen. 

This is our first experience in doing a card together.  We had spent about 1.5 hours to complete it as I allowed my princess to do most of the work by herself.  

As a perfectionist in art work, I have learn to control myself for not interfering too much on my 3-year-old girl's creativity. I just taught her how to do, asked her what does she wants or preferred and let her try by herself.  

Her long concentration span did impress me.

I hope her teacher will like her first DIY card in her life.  Happy Teacher's Day!

First Paint Brush Salty Art

An artwork of my princess in the school. First time for her to use the "real" paintbrush and watercolor+salt. Interesting science session.

The teacher told me she did it without any teacher's help. I think she has been well-trained by the iPad app at home. Mixing color like a true artist! Lol.

Masterpiece (2-year-old)

My 2-year-old daughter's drawing and writing without any help.

She tried to draw her idol (Elmo) and write his name too. Lol.

Drawing (2 yrs old)

My princess loves to draw her imaginary friends (Elmo, Grover, Cookie Monster, Telly Monster etc characters from Sesame Street).

This is one of her masterpiece.
