Children Just Have It In Them

I just found out that SuziBlu is possibly going to put my writing on a zine. The title of my writing was "Children Just Have It In Them". I love writing first of all, and especially about art and children. Through the years I have taught children many techniques in my home. Two years ago, back in the early 90's, I had a class for children and a class for teens in my home. What joy I had when a child would bring in their assignment to class. Can you imagine that one of those children is now an adult artist doing shows in New York. You see, we adults have a great input into children's lives. In the future, I would love to share some of the assignments I did with the children. Stay tuned!

SuziBlu mixed media artist

An art site worth checking out is SuziBlu. You can watch her on YouTube and get many tips to use in your artwork. Then if you are satisfied, you can take her classes. That is what I am saving up for. I have been working on my own pieces as I watch her free youtubes. I believe you can move on without taking monetary classes, but, it is always nice to work under someone, who then you can send pictures of your work on her site to show off.
Mixed Media is what you will learn with her site. What is Mixed Media? You are working on a piece of art work with many layers of paints, papers, photos, stencils, rub-ons, ribbons and ephemera. You can work on a canvas, canvas board, watercolor paper, illustration board, cardboard. Ephemera is stuff like antique keys, stamps, metals, dried flowers, ribbons etc.
