Laurel Burch Cats

Narae's children's art classes ran for six weeks, but there were so many kids who wanted to come that she had to run two separate classes per week. Both classes did the exact same things, but I only photographed one of each project - so three projects per group.

On the final week, Narae introduced her students to the work of Laurel Burch
Picture
"This week I want to introduce everyone to the world of Laurel Burch.
​She's famous for her very colourful paintings of cats."
Picture
Picture
"I will take you step by step through drawing cats like hers, "
Picture
"...and then you can decorate them any way you want, with any patterns or colours you like... just like she does."
Picture
Paige handed everyone two sheets of paper...
Picture
Then Narae did a step-by-step drawing of a cat's head with everyone....
Picture
Picture
Then she showed everyone how to draw the body of a simple seated cat....
Picture
....as everyone followed along...
Picture
Picture
"Now, everyone take your second sheet of paper, and we will draw a standing cat. 
​First we draw the head, just like before..."
Picture
Everyone followed along....
Picture
"And now we draw the simple body, like this..."
Picture
Picture
"And now for the fun part.....you may decorate your cats in any way that you like. You may use one of these designs for inspiration, or you can make up your own.  And then colour your cats."
Picture
Everyone eagerly set to work...
Picture
Looking for some inspiration....
Picture
Picture
Working hard....
Picture
Picture
Working on their second cats....
Picture
Picture
And Nami is finished one too...
Picture
"Those are looking great!"
Picture
Picture
"I'm guessing you really love blue?"
Picture
Then Narae took photos of each child with their two cat drawings....
