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!

Christmas eve Pt. 1

Beep beep beep! the oven timer went off. I grabbed the oven mitt and pulled out a dozen sugar cookies. "Gabe! Daniel!" I called. "Frosting time!" They came rushing in, with glitter all over their hands. They were making snowflakes, and wanted to put glitter on them. I cant wait until tomorrow. I thought to myself. I KNOW I am getting at least one LEGO set. Let's just say, I shook my presents. I was going to make a stop motion video before I go back to my Homeschool Co-op. We had three weeks off. I got down two different colored frostings. Red and green. Then some rainbow sprikles. "I am going to decorate the trees!" Daniel said. "I will do stars!" I said. "Snowmen!" Gabe said. and off we decorated.

This chapter will be short, because today we will have a Christmas partyin my house (It's an annual thing)

Oh! Have you found the Christmas trees yet? the contest is ending soon!!!

There will be no new chapter today. I am very busy, so I will do a short post.

Hints on the hidden Christmas trees!

Look in old posts

eight days til' christmas!

Chapter three

Christmas Village

 

Gabe and I picked up a little table from the attic. Daniel picked up a box filled with houses, buildings, people, and cars. We were preparing the Christmas village. After we got down from the attic, we heard a familiar sound of a car. “Dad’s home!” Gabe said. “Yippee!” I said. “He can help us with the Christmas village!” I slid across the floor, in my socks, to the door. “Hi, daddy!” Daniel Exclaimed. “Can you help us fix the Christmas village?” “Sure, Danny!” My dad replied. “Where’s the box?” Daniel pointed. “Hi!” My mom said, as she came out of the kitchen, with a plate of sugar cookies.  “Cookies for everyone!” “Yay!”

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!"

FFF and a story.

Sorry I was late for FFF. I need an alarm clock to help remind me! I am just very busy. I was busy with schoolwork. Soon it will be my Christmas break for two weeks! Ten days till' Christmas! I am going to do part of a story, everyday until Christmas. Here goes!
 
Chapter one:
To the Christmas tree farm we go.

"Allie!" My mother called, from the front door. I was in my room, hustling into my favorite jacket, while reading a book. "Coming!" I said back. finally I zipped up my jacket. A black one with hot pink, and sky blue scribbles (If you watched the LEGO movie, you know what I mean) I grabbed my hat and mittens. I couldn't wait to get in the car. We were going to the tree lot, to buy a Christmas tree. I ran out of my room, with my book in my secret inside pocket. I skidded to a stop, by the door. "Reading?" My mom asked, staring at a bulge under my pocket. The book. "Yes" I said. "It is my extra credit book for literature. My mom nodded. "Come on! Let's go get that tree!" Now it was my turn to nod. "Where's Daniel?" I asked. I looked around for my six  year old brother. "He is already in the car." My mom said, as we walked to the car. Daniel loves getting out of the house. I skipped to the car, and stopped at the door of the passenger seat. Daniel started singing jingle bells, as I buckled up. "Hi Allie!" he said. "Hey, little Dan." I replied. "I am not little!" He said back as He closed his eyes tight, turned his head to the side, stuck out his tongue, and crossed his arms. Mom and I stifled a laugh.

December!

It is December! My brother's birthday is in 3 days (He will turn nine) and it is also time to get out the advent calendars! I like them, because your always waiting till the next day to see the surprise. I helps me, because I always think Christmas is sooooo far away, but the calendar keeps my mind off of waiting for Christmas. I also like seeing the Christmas lights, inflatable and trees. I am going to put a few polls on the sidebar about Christmas and December.

Fun I had yesterday!

Yesterday, me and my family (My parents, my four brothers and me) went to downtown! And we brought our scooters to ride around the lake there.  We went to the library real quick to drop off some books, then to the lake. We saw fish, Great blue Herons, egrets, swans (even black ones), and cute ducks! They looked like doves, but could swim. There were light posts with Christmas decorations on them all around the lake. When we were done, we went to the playground across the street and played there for about thirty minutes. There was a clear area, about two acres big, with a tall Christmas tree made out of lights, and a train made out of lights. Then we went to eat pizza. When we were done, we walked a block away to a park. (It was about five acres, no playground. Just plants and benches and sidewalk.) It was decorated with a bunch of Christmas lights. All the sidewalks had arcs on top with big nutcrackers made out of lights. A jack-in-the-box made of lights. A Christmas tree, train, and stars, all made with lights. It was beautiful!

Have fun exploring where you live!
