We Did Art For Daniel


At this week's Saturday Studio Art we created a collage for our friend and fellow artist, Daniel, age 11, who is battling Sarcoma, a rare form of cancer. Our collage is made up of variety of hearts painted by each of our artists.




We all came together to write messages on the hearts we designed and painted to create a collaborative canvas filled with hearts to lift Daniel's spirits and and inspire him to keep strong. The encouraging words the artists wrote in each heart were straight from their own.




During this event, 100% of all registrations and donations went straight to the Vokhgelt family. Artists raised $174 in just one short class and we're working hard to finish Daniel's masterpiece in the coming weeks. Like Art With Anna on Facebook and Instagram to see an updated finished picture of his heartfelt collaborative collage.

Wine Your Art Out: Pops of Purple

What better way to bring in summer than to paint bright, bold, beautiful flowers? At this week's Wine your Art Out we painted colorful flowers to show our summer excitement. 


We learned to paint a different type of flower that involved filling in the circular spaces with geometric petals to give our flowers a more modern look. Each artist chose their background color as well as the size and shape - making each painting unique, my FAVORITE part of all.



What you may not know about Wine Your Art Out is that most of these artists haven't painted in years - I mean, like, 20 years. Every single Art With Anna Art Educator makes it easy to get back into the groove of art-making by creating a relaxed, comfortable atmosphere with plenty of guidance and step-by-step instruction. And it's fun, too.

Maybe you're already an avid painter. You're welcome and loved here too as these classes are a fun and entertaining way to go out with your friends and create an evening of memories.


Our public Wine Your Art Out events are scheduled the 1st and 3rd Friday of every month - so come play! Claim your easel here.


Voila!




  



Wine Your Art Out: We Learned the Art of Screen Printing

Have you ever been out shopping, seen a creative tote or tee and thought, "I wonder how they made that?" Well, last Friday at Wine Your Art, we tackled the question and taught artists just that -- we made our very own screen printed bags.

Not only was the process not extremely difficult, it was actually pretty fun. Each artist came with a design in mind, many pre-printed, ready to bring it to life. Their designs ranged from chandeliers to animals and each idea worked tremendously well. 

I'm already flaunting my completed Art With Anna tote (I tried a tee, too!) and man -- it's perfect for the pool, quick grocery run and of course tokeing around art supplies. 😊
