I mentioned a few weeks ago that A Little Artsy had been chosen to be featured in Studios Magazine...well I got my copies in the mail this week and could not be more proud!! They have pictures from the beautiful & talented Kristen Rae Photography (even the cover shot) and a few from Chris! There is also a Q&A with me about starting a little artsy and finding the right space! There are pictures from our current location and our first location-here is what the feature looks like!!!

flower paintings.

“It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child” pablo picasso

These are beautiful flower paintings, painted by some of the children of A Little Artsy! Deb took them through a process to help them create these beautiful pieces on canvas!

adult nights.


Tracy, one of our fabulous teachers- also a freelance artist, taught a fabulous mixed media painting that was Matisse inspired. They did fabulous! 

I love the idea of mixing painting with layers and cut out collages. Absolutely beautiful!

Valentine's day Hearts

null

Our AMAZING fulltime teacher (I call her an angel on earth) Deb did this incredible project. 
Enjoy!! xoxo

Ever wonder what to do with all those little bits and pieces of crayon or oil pastel that your kids never want to use?!? These can have a new life when they are melted down in baking molds... With a box filled with oil pastel leftovers and Valentine's Day right around the corner, I thought this would be a special valentine for all the kids at A Little Artsy

What you need:
-small pieces of oil pastel or crayon in various colors
-baking molds (can be found at most big box stores for a few dollars)
-nonstick spray
-baking sheet
-wax paper

What to do:
1. Preheat oven to 230
2. Spray baking molds with nonstick cooking spray
3. Begin placing pieces of oil pastel or crayon into the molds, thinking of color placement

null

4. Place molds onto baking sheet and bake for 20+ min or until melted
5. Remove from oven and let cool *oil pastels only take about 10 min to cool, but crayons may take a few hours. You can place molds in freezer to speed this process

null

6. Carefully pop pastels out of mold and place on wax paper

7. Draw with your newly made rainbow oil pastel!
