A Big Dog Party

 Although it wasn't intentional, this week's art reminds us of the big dog party at the top of the tree in Go, Dog. Go!  The preschoolers love that book as much as I love reading it.

Our mixed media art is the result to two sessions drawing our chain, ladder, web, and the Chinese dragon in the lunchroom.  We looked at the wire sculptures in different ways, and used some materials we rarely try, like chalk, oil pastels, and glitter crayons.

There's a reason why I don't get out the glitter crayons, and now I'll remember it for awhile.  What a mess!  They are soft, flaky, and stain the floor.
Since the art is so springy, I will share several samples to brighten your day.  Climb the ladders to your own dog party in a tree.

Love these colors!

Would Wolf eat the glitter crayons?

Oh, what joy in this art! Hey, if Newt Gingrich comes to town, he might want the glitter crayons for his book signing!

Wolf is a sweet old dog who eats only dog food, dog treats, and human food. He never chews on art supplies, shoes, pillows, or electric cords. He has been busted on top of the kitchen table licking steak juice off an ampty plate, however. And finding a creepy old chicken wing various places around the neighborhood.
