That’s ‘Mini & Masterpieces’…to you and me!
Earlier this week, the subject of the day was “Monet”… & in terms of following the great master’s style, the kids were ON IT!
Here they are in ‘Monet Mini Masterpiece Mode’ (or M,M, M & M!!!) …
Lovely job everyone & mmmm-monumentally COOL!
Oooooo YES!!
Here we are on this lovely Saturday morning, with little students busily creating Dali like “dream paintings” with lovely Miss Lala (too cool, dreams are way hard to create but they’re ON it & doing great)… but just TO add to our lovely morning, Lala kicked off by showing us THIS… SO we’re sharing: For anyone who might feel a spot of artistic energy coming on ….. ‘BE’ Jackson Pollock AND have a bash @ this!

(Tips: click your mouse to change colours & once you’ve completed your masterpiece, click CTRL/print Screen button, paste into a word document, crop and BINGO… your very OWN Pollock creation!)
This morning’s figurative workshop lesson was a STILL LIFE set-up, with a twist…
SKULLS!!!!
And with Mr. Hamburger’s fine example of a classic STILL LIFE all set up & ready to go… & with him taking the lead, this morning’s students were ON IT!
Here’s Ben giving some helpful advise: ‘This is super cool but could you try to make them less dead looking OK!? to new member Mic….
To Sidhika: who’s just shown me her sketch book for the first time this morning and wow, she’s going to be a really great artist….
In this morning’s ‘Children’s Summer Workshop’ session we had a group of highly ‘hands-on little people’ making Pollock-style art, with great enthusiasm & perfectly combined teamwork which made for a HUGELY fun time for ALL of us.
As Pollock once said : “A painting has a life of its own. I try to let it come through” ….AND we couldn’t agree with him more!
Giving these little students a rare chance to ‘feel’ what Jackson Pollock must have felt (well, what he felt most of the time!)…with THIS energy and creativity coming through each of them (aka, these little Pollack protégés!) their efforts & delight really SHONE through.
OK… SO you might take a look at these photos and think ‘what’s up with these kids!?’
Are they….
Daydreaming!?
On strike!?
Or just have a headache?!
NO!!!
IN fact, they were all listening to music & thinking about the colours they felt… in order to paint.. and err, it SO worked!!
Inspiration in process, bingo! (above)….and here they are ‘in action’ as they grooved and moved to the beat….and painted accordingly!
The only thing to come out of these boxes were good, all good, very very GOOD 
Earlier this week Elsie threw a little art session for one little art student friend of ours, Fay…who came along with 11 of her school friends for a great big & fun farewell party.
The aim of this particular creative session was for each child to make their very own ‘Bangkok Memory Box’, a genius idea that Elsie came up with.
We supplied heaps of reference material (Bangkok-themed) and the children were all encouraged to design their own box, using lots of collage and huge amounts of glue…nice!
Last Saturday morning was a very SPECIAL day for one of our little uber-cute art students, Imani …who came along to Attic with 8 of her closest friends for a very cool BIRTHDAY morning of painting… lead by our fabulously fun & friendly art teacher, Marcus Way.
To mark this very special occasion, Elsie brought in Mr. Fireman… who was (as you will see from some of these photos!) VERY sleepy, due to an extra busy and explosive work from the night before, apparently… but we didn’t mind at ALL as he kept even stiller than usual and it’s always a pleasure to have Mr. Fireman here so we thank HIM for also making Imani’s Birthday day extra special.
Last Saturday’s Children’s classes were a….. huge big blobby painting success!
Lead by lovely Lala, the art instruction for the day was simply…. ‘Go with the Shapes You Feel!’
So everyone did… and here’s a small examples of the fantastic, free flowing and highly creative work produced.
Everyone did GREAT… & so stunning, we’d like a few for our walls!
Great classes and thoroughly enjoyed by ALL
is RIGHT HERE!!
“Are your children complaining they have nothing to do over the holiday period?”
Do you have trouble tearing them away from the Cartoon Channel in the mornings?
If you have answered yes to these questions then here’s the perfect solution – fun & engaging workshops all summer long at Attic Studios!
Today’s Saturday children’s class was a BLAST
Here are two of our students (Aka looking like they’ve been down a coal mine!) with Heidi @ the end of the day… black faces or black eye?!
Oh man :/
Great job today everyONE!
