Recent Sketchbook Pages vol.3 and a Treasure Map
I tried to do a little bit of drawing while I was in town for the Fourth of July, but there were too many people around who kept wanting to watch over my shoulder, so this was the only decent sketch that happened.
Yesterday was Pirate Day in the kids' art class that I'm teaching this summer. They got to design their own treasure map and then I showed them how to age the paper. I've done this project with previous summer classes and it always goes over well. This was the one I made for a demo. I also brought in a whole bunch of my piratey books for them to look through for ideas. They had a blast, and got really creative with it. One boy had "Ice Cream Island" which was, of course, shaped like an ice cream cone. Another girl kept asking how to spell things like "mortal peril" or "catastrophe" because she wanted the places on her island to sound really dangerous. Then, all on their own, they started making swords and eyepatches and bandanas out of construction paper. I found some cardboard tubes from old rolls of paper towels in the closet, which I gave them to use for telescopes. All in all, it was a really good class. It was a nice end to a busy, successful week.

Recent Sketchbook Pages
I started my summer job at the art gallery yesterday. I've been carrying my Moleskine sketchbook around with me, so here are some sketches and notes from the past couple of days.
Jane magazine did a photo shoot with Zooey Deschanel recently where she was dressed like a 1920s beach girl. I was waiting at the MV Airport to pick up my parents and my sister, so that's why I wound up basing a sketch on one of those photos.

Father's Day Card
I had made a card for my dad for myself, my two brothers, and my sister to sign. It's nothing fancy, just cut paper, but he really liked it. :)

Wing Designs
I'm teaching an art class for children again this summer. The day before the new Harry Potter book comes out I'm going to do a Potter themed project with them. They're going to get to make their very own golden snitch. I'm making a demo before hand to have an example to show them, and I was sketching out some wing designs for mine. I haven't cut out the wings yet, but once they're done I'll have to post a picture of the completed golden snitch. I think the kids will like this project.
