art's loft art set Review!

So, I got an art set for Christmas! it is really cool. I will put descriptions in the pictures

This is how the art set looks when it is closed (I put that sticker there, because my brother got the same present.)

This is how it looks when it is opened.



 

 In this set, there are two different kinds of colored pencils, regular, and watercolor (You have to dip the tip in water.) So I am doing an experiment with these two pencils.

These two pencils are the same color. Permanent Green. The one with the brown end is water color. White end is regular.

The tips of the pencils.

These are the results.

They look the same, don't they?

 

 So they looked the same. Now I will show you what the set includes.



The whole set when it is fully opened.

A booklet titled 'Artist's tricks and techniques'

A thingy to hold paint (It comes with two) Hint: Don't put the oil paint in it! It sticks and it won't get out even if you put it in the Dishwasher! I learned the hard way :)

A waterwell. to hold water inside.

A sharpener and eraser

Six paintbrushes

Ten big tubes of water paint

twelve little tubes of watercolor paint.

twelve little tubes of oil paint

Twenty-four oil pastel crayons (Continued in the next picture)

Continued from last picture.

 

The only con I found was that it didn't come with paper, so I looked around in the art stuff I already had, and found this drawing pad from Target.

Drawing pad (Not included in the set!)

 



This is what I drew with the regular coloring pencils. A Downy Woodpecker (Left) and a Cardinal (Right)
This set was fun to use! Stay smart girls!




















 

Six days 'til christmas! Chapter four!

Chapter four:

Presents

 

December 21^st. 8 am. Sunday.

I put my jewelry making kit back on my shelf. I just finished making a bracelet for my mom. I wrapped it up in some leftover wrapping paper, from last year, and put it under the tree. I made wooden cars for my brothers, with little people made out of clothes pins. They looked really neat. “Phew!” I said to myself. “Now I need my pot making kit.” I was going to make a mug for my dad, in Christmas green, and bright red. His favorite colors. Whizzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. The machine went, as it spinned the clay. I molded it in to a cup, and turned it off. I put it to dry, then I would paint it, then I would cook it.

 

In the mean time, Gabe was making presents too. He made a clay pot (from art class) for my mom. For my dad, he made I string to hold my dad’s glasses around his neck. For me, he sewed a bunch of different colored ribbons together, to make a bookmark. It was a rainbow one. For Daniel, well, he made a car like mine, but the person was a medicine dropper we don’t use, with a soda cap as a hat, and pieces of cardboard for arms, which he hot glued on. (Don’t worry. He knows how to safely hot glue, from art classes) He put each present into a gift bag, and named them

 

Nine days til' christmas! Chapter two

When we arrived, Daniel immediately found the tree he wanted. "I want that one!" He exclaimed. My mom walked over to I, to get a closer look. It was about six feet high, and full of leaves and branches. It was also very green. "Awesome tree, Daniel!" I rewarded. "This looks perfect. Right mom?" she had a big smile on her face. "Yes! Come on! Let's buy it!" After we hooked the tree on the roof of our van, we headed home.

"Here are the ornaments, mom!" I said as I brushed some dust off my clothes. These ornaments had been my Grandma's. We kept them in the attic. "Yay!" Daniel screamed. "Mom, when are we going to pick up John?" John is my younger brother, who is nine years old. He is in an after-school art class. Today, they are making ornaments. "We'll pick him up in ten minutes." My mom said, as she put a golden star ornament on the tree. "Actually" my mom said "Let's go now. They are finishing early today." "Let's go!" Daniel and I both said. "Jinx!"
