Carla Sonheim

My finished piece, I call it Singing in the Rain In Collage

I started with this one piece of scrap magazine paper for my inspiration.

I just love taking workshops. I would go to school 24/7 if I could. You know, if I did not have to work! I can't always find the time to go to classes so I like to find fun things to do on-line. One of the artists I follow is Carla Sonheim I have taken a couple of her classes in the past and they have really helped me open up to all the possibilities art has to offer. I highly recommend her classes. As an elementary art teacher you most likely already know her books...

Please see my other Carla Sonheim posts for more details on her work.

Wog Creatures...

Addicted to Paint Blob Creatures...

After taking  my on-line class with Carla Sonheim creator of  Imaginary Animals I have

become obsessed with blobimals. I see them everywhere now! A kindergartener threw away this paint splotch, which is now trying to become a flying horse.

This page is from my on-line class with Carla Sonheim from Imaginary Animals. The creature's name is Pegga Wog....you know because she has wings!

This is Pagga Wog finished!

Page one---and so it begins...

Sam put some things in the book and gave it to me (for a small donation to the cause)

Then I added some art...

Then some of the teachers who took my printmaking workshop added to the journal...

Then some of my kindergarteners added a map. It is so cute! There is a drawing of me 

walking my dog.

I was freaked out to have to put my journal in the mail and send it to Sam...someone I do not know (yet). But I am very excited to get it back and see what has been added to my little art journal. This project has really helped me to draw and create everyday.
