sea creatures.



we are learning about the ocean and there are so many fun sea creature art projects to do!
at meadowlark, we're always making things: drawing, painting, glueing, collaging, beading, sewing, sculpting...
my background is in fine arts and i taught children's classes at the portland art museum for many years before starting meadowlark. in fact, i have been an artist for forever (it seems). as a child, my answer to "what do you want to be when you grow up?" was always very enthusiastically, "an artist!"
i feel so lucky to spend my days teaching through art and watching young artists create such beautiful things. their creativity constantly amazes me.
here are a couple of our ocean projects. note: the jellyfish are made from old gelato cups, scraps of ribbons, lace, and other fabric trim... we love using "junk" for art.
