Art-Tastic! Drawing & Sculpting

Tonight we explored our creativity with the help of one of our Guiders who studied Fine Arts. 

We began with our usual opening ceremony and an active game, then moved right into our activities for the evening. 

We started our with Still Life Drawing and Perspective Drawing using a display of teddy bears and flowers. These were challenging activities for the Guides, and also something most hadn't tried before. The next activity was from the Girls First platform called "Draw, Don't Stop" where the girls created drawings without lifting their pencils from the paper. 
   
Our next activity was Clay Pictionary. We made the easy clay recipe on the Girls First platform (mix 1 cup flour, 3/4 cup salt and 3 oz hot water together and knead into a dough-y clay). Each Patrol had a glob of clay, a plate to make their pictures and a set of cards. As they played, the Guides discovered it's much harder to work with clay rather than markers in this game! 

We ended the evening with time for free drawing and sculpting, resulting in some really neat creations. 
After cleaning up, we ended with reminders for next week and closed with Taps.
