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! ^^
