Beeutiful art! Shared by the Bellewood School, our collaborators with Arts for Kosair Kids® in partnership with the Fund for the Arts. They say, "This is one kiddo’s hand art (a project taught to us by LVA). Students picked 4-5 words to describe themselves and although the projects aren’t quite finished- we already know the artists are 'beeutiful' 🐝🐝🐝"

Snowy Owl
At LVA's CFAC program at Creasey Mahan Nature Preserve, we have access to many specimens from which to draw. We recently finished up our first project of the semester: a Snowy Owl drawn on black Bristol board with white charcoal pencils.
Snowy owls have been migrating farther south for the last few years and have been seen as far south as central Kentucky. This project challenged the students on proportions, composition, and drawing accuracy. Planning ahead was vital as some areas needed to be left black.
They learned a valuable lesson of allowing the toned paper to do some of the work for them and they also learned a lot about this majestic bird.
Thanks to instructor Jean for another wonderful experience!
Balance
4th & 5th-grade CFAC students at King Elementary studied balance with instructor Julia. Students were allowed to use whatever medium they wanted but had to make a design that had a radial or symmetrical balance.

Thanks to instructor Traci for leading the way!
Unicorn Frappes
CFAC 4-6 graders at Grant Line Elementary in New Albany, in., worked with acrylic paint on canvas board to make these Unicorn Frappes! Seth especially enjoyed his!
It was a lesson in learning blending, brush control, and creating space by overlapping subject matter.
Thank you to instructor Felice for this fun project.
