Art Lab

Art in Your Pajamas

Express your thoughts and feelings while growing your artistic skills.

We’ll use classes from CreativeBug to explore and increase our creativity and artistic expression. If you're not able to access CreativeBug, that’s okay. Create the projects using your own ideas and whatever materials you have at home.

This month's subject is animals. CreativeBug has several tutorials on drawing, painting, and other ways to create art based on animals. Here are a few.

Doodle and Paint an Animal Portrait

Painting Watercolor Pet Portraits

Hand Sew Farm Animal Finger Puppets

DIY Animal Masks (Raccoon, Fox, Mouse, and Tiger)

Red Ted Art on YouTube has a very cute 3D Cat Pop Up Card tutorial and an Easy Paper Flamingo tutorial.

Remember, you're not required to do any of the tutorials we've listed; just create any kind of animal art you want!

We are putting together a virtual display board, and if you'd like your art on the board, please send a photo of it to ahallman [at] acpl [dot] info. This is optional, and by submitting it, you agree to it being displayed. Please submit your art by June 16.
