Dear Parents and Scholars:
Sorry for the delayed update. I lost internet access last week and had to wait for Verizon Fios to resolve the issue. I was able to post 14 new projects, 2 per grade. There will be another update on Thursday as usual. Enjoy these projects in the meantime. Along with the next update will be new drawing videos. Please feel free to email me pictures of your art. I would like to start a student gallery. See you Thursday.

Updates For The New Week:

These are the new updates for the upcoming week. I have posted 14 new projects. Like last week, each grade received two new projects to complete over the next few days. I also posted 12 new “step by step” drawing links. They are found on the “Step By Step Drawing Templates” page. I’m also adding a few anime drawing resources (collections of facial features-eye, hair, head shapes etc.)

New Week, New Material:

4/2/2020

Here's what's new for the upcoming week. I have posted 15 new projects, at least 2 new projects per grade. Feel to try them all. Big shout out to "DeepSpaceSparkle.com" for the links, tutorials, and files!!! I recommend visiting the site and exploring the content. "DeepSpaceSparkle" has tons of free kid friendly materials and ideas for scholars. Along with the new projects are some new instructional videos from "Art For Kids Hub". I mentioned "Art For Kids Hub" last week but please take advantage of their website. The main artist and staff really make drawing accessible for young learners. I will be posting some new drawing templates and color pages later next week. If you have any questions or concerns you can email me at "pcerreta@stamfordexcellence.org". Feel free to send me a message and I will respond, usually, within 24 hours. You can also post your questions, concerns, and pictures of your art in the comments section below. Have a great week and I will post new projects next Thursday.
