A Trip To Opus

July 15, 2015

We went to Opus today to get Art Supplies.  Mom LOVES art.  The kids don't love Art quite as much.  Actually, that's not true.  The Cat loves art while The Huffer isn't a big fan.  However, they're game to do at least a few Art projects each summer.

Every summer, Opus has an Art Exhibition for kids.  For a very small donation, kids get a small 10x10 board on which they can create any type of Art.  The Art hangs for Public Display for 2 weeks in August.  There is Judging and Prizes (although your chance of winning Prizes depends a lot on how may Fans you bring to see the Art works..).  The kids have participated the last few years.  Here is a sampling:

Besides picking up our annual Opus Art Exhibition boards, we picked up 2 exciting things:

1. Lino Print Set
Mom is going to let the kids try their hand at Cutting line with real Cutting Tools.  Scary?  Maybe..  Should be fun, thought!

2. Blank Canvas
We have 3 feet (actually it's 4: the lady at the store was very generous with her measurements...) of blank, primed canvas.   We want to do a Big Painting Project later this summer.  It'll be a Circle Painting Project.  Curious what that is?  Not telling yet...  Stay tuned!

Tempting as it is for mom, we aren't doing Art today, though.  Today will be Library Day where the kids will be playing on iPads to make a Lego Movie.  Oh boy!
