BLACK BIRDCAGE

The Theme this Week is Black Birdcage??? 

Yes, Black Birdcage. 

This week we will illustrate a dark story with our dark art creations. I posted images and photos of different birdcages for you to use in your artwork. Maybe, you have your own demented, dark images to create your art piece with so use those and also use your dark imagination as well!  Use images of blackbirds, crows, and ravens to give your art that 

"GOTHIC FEEL"!!! 

Tell a dark, mysterious story about your birdcage and your birds. What about the dark birdcages they live in? Why must they be caged? Are these birds treacherous, evil, or just mischievous?  And what of their Masters? Are they the same? What melancholy songs do your dark birds sing at night when all is still and quiet? Do you hear their eerie, foreboding notes sung in the shadows of darkness? 

I cannot wait to see what you will create!!!

I apologize for posting so late in the week, but I moved and ran out of time with all of the unpacking and settling into my new home! This Theme will run until March 25th and then we will have our last theme for March on the 26th and then go back to our regular scheduled themes.

Here is my Dark, Black Birdcage Story:

OUR FAVORITE DARK COUPLE: GOMEZ AND MORTICIA ADDAMS

FORGET 

ROMEO AND JULIET!!

I WANT A LOVE LIKE GOMEZ AND MORTICIA!!!

Since I was a child, this has to be one of my favorite shows. Every evening after school, I watched the re-runs and never missed an episode. This show probably sparked my interest in all things dark, spooky, and mysterious! Who could forget the famous the famous Theme Song?

They're creepy and they're kooky,

mysterious and spooky,

they're altogether ooky,

The Addams Family.

Their house is a museum

 when people come to see 'em 

They really are a scream 

The Addams Family.

Neat

Sweet

Petite

So get a witch's shawl on

a broomstick you can crawl on

We're gonna pay a call on

The Addams Family

So to start out this week's Theme, we are going to create a special Valantine to honor our favorite Dark Couple, Gomez and Morticia Addams! 

What a passionate, romantic relationship they had.  Morticia's pet name for Gomaz was, "Bubeleh". Gomez's pet name for Morticia was "Cara Mia". And when Morticia spoke French? She drove Gomez wild! Just one word of French and he would drop everything to rush to her side and start from her wrist, kissing up her arm to her shoulder!

"Tish", he would croon, I love it when you speak French"!

I have posted a Page with images of Morticia and Gomez and plenty of embellishments and backgrounds to make your Valentine complete!

Here is my Tribute to my Favorite Dark Couple:

A DICKEN'S GHOSTLY CHRISTMAS

 THE CHRISTMAS SEASON IS HERE!!

 I have some fun but quirky Christmas Themes for the Month of December 

The first Theme for this Season is 

A DICKEN'S GHOSTLY CHALLENGE!! 

It is about Charles Dicken's beloved Christmas Story, 

"A CHRISTMAS CAROL"! 

As the story goes, there are 3 Ghosts sent s messengers to Mr. Scrooge! 

For our kickoff for the Christmas Dark Art Challenges for December, we are going to create art with those same 3 ghosts in mind!

You pick which ghost you would like to create to scare Mr. Scrooge so his miserly, selfish, cold heart will be filled with holiday love, good tidings, and cheer!!

SO WHICH GHOST WILL YOU PICK?

The Ghost of Christmas Past, The Ghost of Christmas Present, or The Ghost of Christmas Future!

If you would like to skip the ghosts and go with a lighter theme, then you can create an art piece to personify that mean, miserly, hardhearted Mr. Scrooge! Or you can do both themes! It's your choice! 

I posted some Freebie Dicken's Ghostly Christmas Images for you to use in your artwork if you wish!

I cannot wait to see what you will come up with this week! 

Have some Spooky Christmas fun!!
