I joined the Chilliwack Arts Council’s first Anonymous Art Show last week. Originally started in Whistler, this was a fundraising night for the Art Council with a silent art auction in two locations with music and drinks. 101 of the 168 paintings sold in one night….including mine!!!!

So true! Try it outside!

All month long we're featuring some seriously fun action art ideas (did you see yesterday's splat painting?? The BEST!)

But... what about the MESS??🙀

Never fear- we're determined to find ways to make messy art work for your family! Check out "Embrace the Mess: Why Messy Art is Important for Kids" on The Artful Parent blog:

One of the simplest ways to overcome your fear is to remind yourself "My child is washable." It might seem silly, but believe me, it helps!🙃

Wow! Friends of OWWL, would you be proud to know someone who could transform a piece of concrete like this? I would!❤

That broken down school bus? It’s actually just a solid block of cement.

There appears to be just one little Santa left to find a home. Pick him up on your next walk along the Vedder. That means 30 of these little guys found a home for the holidays! Happy Holidays from Owl Weekly Workshops for Learning!

Here at OWWL we have a tradition unlike most...Grinch Day! It started out as "the day we watch the Grinch movie" but has evolved over time into quite the production. We invite you to be creative and have a Grinch Day of your own. The greatest part is that if you decide to make it very unconventional or odd or even awkward you can use the Grinch as your excuse. Have it tomorrow or Boxing Day or January 2nd. You decide. Here are a few ideas to get you started. In recent years we have painted suncatchers of Grinch characters, made Grinch masks, made Grinch/Whoville decorations, learned how to draw a Grinch, decorated with Whoville-like decor, Grinch Jeopardy, pin the heart on the Grinch and eaten green Grinchy food. Grinch Day saw the invention of our first Grinch pancake (your basic pancake with a lot of kale or spinach whizzed in). This year you can see we did green Jello, green rice crispies cut into hearts, and various other green foods we concocted. Most importantly we watched The Grinch movie. When you do it you should watch whichever one you want or watch them all. Its Grinch Day, you make it how you want. Do a little or a lot. Enjoy! Happy Grinch Day! Owl Weekly Workshops for Learning!

Hello friends of OWWL. While we can not come together with you right now with our workshops we can continue to invite you to be creative. If you go out for a nature walk along the Vedder River between the end of Wilson Rd and the train bridge these little guys will be waiting for you. Please take one! Add whatever finishing touches you think these ones need and add it to your Christmas decor. Merry Christmas and Stay Safe!🎅🤶🎄❤️
