Wrap up to the mini canvas craze

I am going to share with you today some more links to Mini Canvas's art ideas that are inspired by the great artists, but remember, if you want you can go all kinds of creative on a mini canvas and make it your own. You don't have do make a replica of one of the famous artists work, you be the artist too.  Let me send you now to the world of links to Art Projects for Kids.org.

Here are some more ideas, Rothko,

 A Mini Masterpiece,

 and Kandinsky

Enjoy creating something beautiful for your dolls world with parent permission, and if permitted, email me photo's of your art so I can stick them on my virtual refridgerator, since the refridgerator is where all the really important artwork always hangs ;) Lemonhead103@verizon.net

Love, Saige.

A Mini Matisse... another mini Canvas idea

I am loving on the mini canvas, what a great way to add some style to your doll's world. I myself have a doll stand and a dresser top I share with my dolly sisters when I am not modeling or blogging, or doing a bit of art and design, but I would kill for a room... oh well.

For those lucky dolls with rooms here is another way to personalize the space, this is a higher skill level, but I have a few more mini canvas ideas I found at Art Projects for Kids.org to share with you still... keep watching.

You can get the how to here.

As always, I would love to hear from you with your parent's permission so email me at Lemonhead103@verizon.net and I will share your art work that you send photos of here with the world.

Love, Saige

More doll sized art from Art Projects for Kids.

VanGogh, Sunflowers... a classic, known for it's use of color and it's beauty... ok you like it but what about your dolls? Don't they deserve a beautiful Sunflower inspired by Van Gogh? This one also takes a Mini Canvas, parent's permission and a few other supplies. You can get the how to here.

I would love to see your work, with parent's permission, so email me at Lemonhead103@verizon.net .

Have fun and show me your art!

Love, Saige

A fun Doll Sized Art Idea

I have still been hanging around at ArtProjectsfor kids. org and I found this little treasure and I thought to myself that this would be cool to make for your American Girl Dolls. They could have a work of art for their space.

You need a mini canvas, and I have seen them in some of the craft supply stores, and some sell and miniature easel to match.

 The mini mondrain painting blog post can be found here. This requires neatness, but not too much techinal difficulty, just the canvass, a ruler and some markers, will do. If you use water based markers, this will need to be sealed before you can use it with your dolls. Steps for sealing are included in the post. Get a parent's permission as always to do the craft and to send me photo's of your work. I would love some peeks at your creations.

Email me photo's of your art at Lemonhead103@verizon.net

You do know who Michelangelo, Leonardo, Raphael, and Donatello are, Right?

I was wondering if you had heard of Michelangelo, Leonardo, Raphael and Donatello. Are you thinking of these guys?

LOL 

I was watching some Animaniacs and they did that gag and said they are artists not turtles. It is the inspiration for this blog post. 

Michelangelo was an Italian sculptor, painter, architect, poet, and engineer of the High Reinassance who exerted an unparalleled influence on the development of Western Art. 

He looked like this

Some famous works of his were his sculpture of David

and his painting of the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel

Leonardo... is not Leonardo DiCaprio even if he is super famous as well. Leonardo DaVinci was an Italian Renaissance polymath: painter, sculptor, architect, musician, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, geologist, cartographer, botanist, and writer.

  He is famous for the Mona Lisa,

Inventing, 

 and his studies.

Raphael was an Italian painter and architect of the High Renaissance.

 Among his famous works is his painting of the Madonna. ( not the pop singer)

Donatello was an early Renaissance Italian Sculptor from Florence. He is, in part, known for his work in bas-relief a form of shallow relief sculpture that, in Donatello's case, incorporated significant 15th-century developments in perspectival illusionism. Some of his famous sculptures are St. George, 

and Annunciation

and St. Mark. 

I have a fun project coming up featuring some of these... stay tuned. 

The Renaissance must have been a wonderful creative time, so much of our worlds most prized art came from that time period. 

Love,Saige.

Video games, are they Art?

Video games creating involves artists that work with computers to create the visual world that you are playing in and the characters.

The Smithsonian Museum had an exhibit on the Art of Video Games.. On Kids.gov they have a video and the written text of the video, so if you can't get there you can see some peeks of it. How cool is that? It is now a traveling exhibit through 2016 so perhaps it will come to a museum near you.

You can read more about this cool exhibit here and find out where it is now and where it is headed. 

Art is really everywhere. 

Go make some of your own, Practice makes perfect!

Love,

Saige

Finishing the leaf

I am on a leaf kick, probably because where we live we don't see many nice one like you do farther north. They dry out before they fall here, and they are green, they are green, they are green then boom, brown. I do wish I lived where my Mom grew up she had the pleasure of the full spectrum of leaf color. Oh well... I some times get to see a yellow one, lol.

Here is another fun idea, finish the leaf. I once again found this at Art Projects for Kids. org. It is my new favorite blog.  Get your template here.

More Autum is near fun

We talked about line patterns when we were doing our Zendangle designs, and here is another fun project that is a more structured Zendangle.

I found this template on the Art Projects for Kids. Org website

You do a different design in each section of the leaf. I love how this looks. 

Get yours here.

Get permission to email  if you are a kid, and even if you are an adult reader, email me what you came up with and I will make a post of my reader art. Art is for sharing.
