A Silly Class

More from Carla Sonheim's online class this week. The Silly Face she provided the left hand eye as a photo and the left side of the nose as line art you had to draw the rest. I had fun with this one as it reminded me of stealing the crayons from the kids and taking over the table at Macaroni Grill! 

the Art of Silliness Worksheet 5.2

My favorite part of the bikes was the banana seat and the tassels hanging off the handle bars. I was thinking back to childhood bikes rather than the road and time trial bikes I ride these days...

the Art of Silliness Worksheet 5.3

The idea behind the bikes was one continuous line, looping and circling to create the bike. The key was not to lift the pen!

A Silly Class

Day one worksheet / February 8 / 

A friend and fellow artist Kimberly Kelly Santini  asked me to take an online class with her, which I never NEVER do. So I said "why not?" Life is about new experiences, and since she dangled it out there, I took the bait.

Carla Sonheim's The Art of Silliness "5" started yesterday, but you can join in at any time and registration is still open. This class involves 21 days of 21 worksheets to be completed in about 10 minutes each. Upon completion you can upload your work to Flickr and view other artists take on the same worksheet.

Each day for three weeks you receive a url link to the PDF worksheet which you download, print and complete! It's super easy and fun.

I figured I'd share my worksheets with you along the way. Quick lessons like this are always beneficial for artists who need to loosen up and try something outside their comfort zone. What do you mean I cannot collage my worksheet???
