Have you ever wished you had a robot friend to help you do things? Sometimes I wish there was a robot that would cook all my meals and clean my house for me! If you could have a robot that could do ANYTHING you'd need it to do, what special abilities would it have? Would it clean your room? Do your school work? Take you places? Use your imagination to design a robot.

If you click on the picture below it will open up bigger, and you can use it as inspiration for shapes and detail designs. Just like our last drawing, look for simple lines and shapes that you recognize. Then combine them together to draw your robot!

The above painting was created by American Folk Artist, Laurel Burch. Laurel Burch was a self-taught artist, which means she did not go to art school. She is well known for her fantastical paintings of cats.

Today you are going to follow the directions below and try to create your own Laurel Burch inspired cat!
Click on the picture to make it larger so you can follow along more easily :-)

The above painting was created by artist Marc Chagall.

A self-portrait is a picture that artists make of themselves. Artists can show things that they care about in their self portraits. Marc Chagall added things he cared about and painted them all around his head.

Today your artwork should be a self portrait. Try and draw it lower on the paper because all around your head, you will add pictures of things that you care about or enjoy!

This week, you'll begin working on the background of your drawing.

Check out my picture below. I drew a robot that would clean up trash at the parks. I needed my background to help tell that story, so I drew my robot outside. I added details of things i might find at a park like trees, flowers and playground equipment.
Don't forget to draw a ground line so that things that are on the ground, look like they are not floating in the sky.

Color using any supplies you have at home.

HAVE FUN :-)

This week, you'll add pattern designs to your cat drawings from week 6.

Laurel Burch used fun bright colors and interesting patterns in her designs, which she hoped would make people happy. The patterns and colors weren't colors or patterns we'd see in nature, but more from her imagination.

In your drawing use your imagination and use colors that we wouldn't see in real life. Add pattern designs that would be unrealistic too. Below is an example of many different line and pattern designs you could use as inspiration!

Don't forget to draw a ground line so it looks like your cat is on the ground.

One of my favorite seasonal are projects that I do with my students is making Mother's Day Portraits (and Father's Day coming soon!). This year, as the kids were drawing with their Sharpie before painting, one of them added a crown. She said it's because her mom is the queen of the house. Well, yeah she is! All the kids decided to follow suit which made me incredibly happy.

The rest of today's post is over on my friend Jean's blog called The Artful Parent. Go and check it out, and then peruse her site because she has tons and tons of the best ideas. And she's written two best-selling books! Speaking of queens, Jean is the queen of the kids art blogging world. We all adore her.

There's nothing better than a homemade craft that doubles as a keepsake. Today we have this adorable handprint suncatcher craft to share with you. We love to make handprint crafts here. Some of our favorites are our butterfly handprint cards, handprint flower bouquet and salt dough handprint keepsakes. These handprint suncatchers are perfect for placing in your kitchen to brighten up the space (and hopefully mom and dad will smile too when they see them!).
Watch the full tutorial video here before you get started!
Supplies Needed to Make a Handprint Suncatcher

- Contact Paper

or you can use Printable Clear Sticker Paper - this is a bit more expensive, but a thicker more durable paper and can be used for other projects as well like our You Are My Sunshine Wall Art

- Tissue Paper - various colors

- Scissors

Directions to Make a Handprint Suncatcher

1. Cut up small square pieces of tissue paper for the colors you want your suncatcher to be.

2. Now open one sheet of contact paper and place it on the table sticky side up. Ensure your sheet is large enough that when you fold it in half it will fit a handprint.

3. Add your tissue paper to fill the sheet.

4. Now take another sheet of contact paper and add it on top of your tissue paper.

Note - some people have noted that the Contact Paper is not sticking to each other, to help with this make sure you press down really hard to stick it together when applying the paper. If you also leave some spaces in between the tissue paper this will let both sides stick together. Alternatively, you can use the printable clear sticker paper which is a bit more durable and sticks better.

5. Fold the paper in half and draw your handprint. Place the hand so the thumb and index finger are along the folded part of the paper. This will create the "heart" look.

6. Now cut out your handprint! Make sure you keep the thumb and index finger connected to the folded part of the paper so that when you open up the suncatcher it's still connected and forms the two hands together. For the thumb part you can make this a straight cut so that it looks more like a heart inside when unfolded (see below).

And now you have your final suncatcher. Use some double-sided tape to place it on your window. These just make us smile every time we see them on the window!
