DESCRIPTION
This collection features lions in three different styles, in three different age appropriate lessons. All different ages can follow along with guaranteed success. The younger kids lion is easy to follow with step by step drawing instruction. The kids will learn about line shape and color as elements of art and use oil pastels and tempera or watercolor in an oil pastel resistant fashion. Th3 2nd - 8th can choose a cubism lion and learn about cubism as an art form as they create a stylized lion in a cubist fashion using markers or watercolor paint. This lesson focuses on just the lion's head. The 5th -8th lesson is a full body of a lion laying down in a kingly fashion. The kids will use proportion as a principle of design and draw their lion big on their paper as they learn how to sketch it out lightly. Then they will use either oil pastels or chalk pastels with emphasis on value, and space understanding as elements of art.

DESCRIPTION
This collection was so fun to make and I was fascinated by the way God made lightning Bugs! Did you know a lightning bug has such an efficient way to create light that scientists don’t really fully understand it!!! There are two lessons in this collection presently. One is a beautiful lightning bug or several lightning bugs in a night field and the other is a lesson on symmetry as it features a mason jar with lightning bugs and plants inside it, also in a night field. Both lessons are really fun because making the night sky all around the brightly colored lightning bugs is a blast. Both these lessons feature observational drawing skill instructions and several reference drawings for each lesson are included. Proportion, balance and contrast are focused on as principles of design. We use some fun techniques in these lessons also to ensure success, like drawing with white chalk as we draw the mason jar and using chalk to show value as an element of art. Both these are fun for 4th to adult,

DESCRIPTION
This collection was special to me to create because I felt like having the kids learn about lights and lanterns would be a spectacular way for them to see how they are lights for Jesus! This collection features “Let Your Light Shine” simple primary colors box shaped lanterns for k-1st, “Light Shine Lantern” decorative lantern for 3rd- 4th, and “ Let Your Light Shine “ old style type lantern for 4th -8th. All the lessons in the collection have step by step instructions and each age is guaranteed to be successful as the skill level in observational drawing is appropriate for that age. All the lessons are really fun and all of them use oil pastels and watercolor washes to create stars in the night sky as we shine like stars in the sky for Jesus! The k-2nd lesson uses texture in glitter and a piece of yarn for the lights to hang on. The decorative style 3rd and 4th has more than one reference drawing to choose from and the kids loved choosing which one to draw. The 4th -8th old style lantern is both rewarding and challenging as the kids learn how to draw a symmetrically correct old style lantern. The kids learn about lanterns and the first lanterns as they learn how Jesus shines through them to help others know Him and His love.

DESCRIPTION
This tree collection is something I am really proud of because kids love to learn how to draw realistic looking trees and I have had lots of success showing them how in a fun way they get excited about, Both these lessons are truly fabulous and each one has a different focus. “A Tree Planted By A River” teaches many concepts. This lesson has lots of tree info, step by step instructions on how to create the trees and oil pastel and painting techniques. This lesson also features a beautiful gradient sunset that the kids learn how to create. The focus of “Trees Clapping Praise” is on creating all different stylized trees then cutting them out and assembling them in a collage fashion on a background the kids also create that focuses on line and space as elements of art. I absolutely love each one of these and the kids will too as they learn about how we are like trees planted by a river and about how trees clap praise to Jesus!
