S.P.L.A.T. Club Changes

Hi S.P.L.A.T. Club parents and artists! Since this is a new club, there are bound to be changes as we figure out what works and what does not. I love feedback, the good and the bad, so please offer suggestions!
Firstly, S.P.L.A.T. club will ONLY BE $2 per child! I hope that will encourage more activity in the club because I believe it is so good for children to draw and be creative and expressive through art. 
Secondly, have you heard of Mark Kistler's, Draw Squad  Here is some info about it:  http://www.drawsquad.com/index.html. I just bought this book and think it would be a fantastic book to use for our drawing club. There are 30 lessons in the book and each week we could focus on one lesson. As always, towards the end of the hour the artists may work on whatever they like. They can get ideas from our different drawing books or anything they enjoy working on. 
The next S.P.L.A.T. Club will be held this Wed, July 25 at 3pm. Since the weather has been so hot I think it would be good to meet indoors at our house (please let me know if you need our address) unless you have another suggestion. Thank you and we hope to see you Wednesday!

Cartoon Time!

                                     

Hi S.P.L.A.T. Club parents and artists! This coming week on Wed, July 18, 2012 we will be drawing cartoons as requested! Instead of meeting at the Udall's home we will be out at Buljan Park. It is located off of Washington Blvd and Hallissy Dr. Address: 150 Hallissy Dr,Roseville 95678. We will meet at our regular time, 3pm. Please bring something hard to put under the paper because the tables have holes. 

Please let me know if you have a favorite cartoon you would like to work on at the next meeting and I will try to find examples of how to draw it. I do have a few books on cartooning, but feel free to bring your own or even a cartooning book from the library!
