Children at the Reid Park Zoo had many wonderful opportunities to see animal faces up-close in the Face to Face Animal Art Adventure early this month. Animals showed their mugs as young artists learned the differences between herbivore, carnivore and omnivore facial features from zoo educator, Jennifer Stoddard. Outside Art's Teacher, Dawn Malosh, taught aspiring animal artists how to recognize, draw, and paint the shapes, values, colors, textures, placement and proportions of the animals' faces. Many gorgeous animal faces were painted, and everyone really enjoyed the animal art encounters! To see their animal face paintings visit: http://www.artsonia.com/museum/gallery.asp?exhibit=196272

Nature-Inspired Furniture for Charity
Outside Artists at St. Michael's Parish Day School created beautiful nature-inspired themes on children's furniture this month. Beautiful flowers, birds and desert landscapes donned the curved surfaces of these child-sized benches and tables. These pieces are sure to thrill and inspire the children that receive them.
