The Chinese New Year begins January 31st. During Chinese New Year celebrations, the Dragon Dance is performed in parades and events to bring good luck in the year to come. It is an intricate dance where a group of people maneuver a wood or plastic dragon draped in cloth. It is believed that longer the dragon, the more luck it will bring. Some dragons used in these dances are 230 feet long!<br />

These were the books covered during Fall Session II:<br />
<br />
<i>Ish</i> by Peter H. Reynolds<br />
<br />
<i>Mouse Shapes</i> by Ellen Stoll Walsh<br />
<br />
<i>Click, Clack, Boo!</i> by Doreen Cronin<br />
<br />
<i>Sky Color</i> by Peter H. Reynolds<br />
<br />
<i>Beautiful Oops</i> by Barney Saltzberg<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Paint & Stories took a Halloween party turn with <i>Click, Clack, Boo!</i><i> </i>The students used their hand prints to make spiders and threaded yarn across the piece to create a web. For this type of project, googly eyes are essential.<br />
<br />

Baking soda was then added to the paint. Using droppers, the students dropped vinegar onto the the tempura/baking soda mixture.

The children learned about <i>Gyotaku</i>, a style of Japanese printing utilizing fish. Yes, fish. An unexpected bonus of Paint & Stories are some unique conversation starters. For example, here's "regular life."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"What did you do today?"</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"Eh. The usual."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"Oh."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But learning <i>Gyotaku </i>methods during a Paint & Stories class gives you this:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"So, what did you do today?"</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"Painted with my kid using a fish instead of a brush."</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
"Wait...hoozie...whatsiz? Did you just say you painted with a fish?"</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then...you get to tell the person all about it! Brag about your child's project. Perhaps, show some pictures on your phone (or tell them about Kidstreet's blog, which we would appreciate very much). </div>

The benefits of teaching children to knit go beyond keeping his or her neck warm. Here are some of the advantages of teaching a child to knit:<br />
<br />
dexterity/hand-eye coordination<br />
memory builder<br />
math/counting skills<br />
concentration/focus<br />
relaxation due to the repetitive and rhythmic movements<br />
learning how to move beyond and fix mistakes<br />
knowledge and skills that can be built upon into concrete accomplishments...scarf...hat...mittens...sweaters!<br />
<br />

Both workshops run one more time, December 7th (ornaments) and 8th (mugs).<br />

First, the demo must be designed. In the case of The Family Menorah Workshop, the instructor, <a href="http://shiraleon.wordpress.com/">Shira Leon</a>, created a menorah even a child with little clay experience could make, but it was still a concept that allowed everyone the freedom to personalize. </div>

It must be a menorah that won't tip over and hold candles without a problem, which meant monitoring the rate of shrinkage of the clay as the first demo dried to find the correct candle holders. </div>

<br />
The previous week, the instructor, Emily Poole, brought pumpkins into the class so the students could have the opportunity to sketch from a still life. The students then built upon the sketches with acrylic paint. <br />

What happened to those poor pumpkins, the inspiration for this project? Forgotten on the table? Chopped up for pumpkin pie? Dumped in the trash after the above masterpieces were created? <br />

These pieces are not just individual works of art. They are also functional. They have an important job to do in a couple of weeks and will be ready in time for Hanukkah. We can't wait to post the completed picks before they're off to their homes!<br />

Periodically, we'll spotlight one of our 2013 camps/projects. Today, its Inspired By Nature. </div>

The Inspired By Nature campers spent a day learning about Peruvian pottery, particularly the ceramics pre-dating the Incan Empire. </div>

In the absence of a written language, ceramics was not only functional, it also carried the stories of the people. Instead of recreating battles and other events, they painted them on pottery. <br />
<br />
Their more interesting pottery, however, were their realistic depictions of animals and people. <br />

After learning and discussing this style of pottery, the campers got to work making their own coiled, Peruvian-inspired pots. This was an all-day project, and the campers were very diligent and excited about creating their own pieces. Animals were a popular theme. Who wouldn't want to take home an adorable bunny, fox or panda? </div>

This is a 3 piece continuous project: the cat goes through the gate, menaces the graveyard and takes a rest in the pumpkin patch. This was a three generational family project. </div>

We'd like to think that the time spent in a creative pursuit with family and friends is worthwhile all on its own and will hopefully, be a happy memory for everyone involved. Even if they're making spooky...creepy...fantastical graveyards! These are family memories...in clay form.</div>

There's a nice sense of movement in all the graveyards. These are active scenes. No one would ask these creatures..."Are you bored, zombie? Don't you have something productive to do, mummy?" </div>

One of the fun things for us was putting all the pieces together in a mishmash...that worked too. Looks like a bunch of trouble to us! Oh, the stories these graveyards could tell. We should probably double-check the Kidstreet rooms to make sure no ghoulish surprises await us! Clearly, these creatures need to be separated before they hatch some sort of devious plan...<br />

Another mark of successful projects is maximizing the space. There's no dead space...oops, poor word choice! There's no <i>empty</i> space, and <b>more importantly</b>, the space is well thought out. Something fascinating to see from all angles. Turn the graveyards this way and that and a new angle gives a new perspective.</div>

We love it when both kids and parents create something whimsically wonderful and interesting. Ideas we wish we would have thought of ourselves.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
In fact, we are so inspired by these pieces, we want to make more. We wonder if we could get away with giving ghoulish graveyards as gifts this holiday season? Can we bring a graveyard to Thanksgiving dinner rather than pumpkin pie (or with the pie, Thanksgiving without pumpkin pie? No way!)? How about mixing them with more appropriate gifts? Would friends and family appreciate the graveyards more if paired with a <a href="http://lillstreet.com/class/8907">menorah?</a> Or a <a href="http://lillstreet.com/class/9039">holiday mug?</a> Overall, we think this is a promising start to our holiday workshops and can't wait to see what the rest of the year brings!</div>

We're entering that time of the year when family mementos are brought out of closets and storage and given premium spots on tables and shelves. Why not make a menorah that has meaning...one made by your family...with your own personal touches and creativity? A perfect keepsake to use every year or a perfect gift. <br />

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
In our family workshops, both kids and
parents build their own pieces, side-by-side. Its a great
opportunity for both the child and parent to be creative and
eventually, have their own projects to display...and brag about to
friends and family, of course!</div>

The fun is not just during the workshop. Its also in awaiting the transformation of these glazed pieces into their shiny and colorful finished states. What will these projects look like after firing? We think...pretty spectacular. Stay tuned...<br />
