FUN LITTLE ART - the New Art Channel with Drawing videos for Kids!

Hi everyone!

The summer passed and fall is here. And I have an announcement! I just recently released my new art channel called "Fun Little Art" that is dedicated to drawing videos for children. If you have kids around you who love to draw, share these with them! I'm sure they will enjoy them and maybe even learn ;)





HOW IT CAME ABOUT


I have had my main "Kate Holloman" channel for years. Even though my channel is primarily about art, it became popular because of a video of my husband and then 8mo son (it's pretty cute), but it seems like all the people that watch that video and subscribe to my channel don't really have any expectation to see art videos so those aren't watched as much. What a bummer! So I decided that it might be worth a try to have a channel that is clearly only about one thing and people won't be confused. And since I am a mom of two kids, drawing for them is something I do a lot anyway. Then I saw some other channels that were doing really well, and that was the last encouragement I needed. I thought about a name and a logo, and within a couple days, the channel was born! 



WHAT IS IT ABOUT


This channel has drawing videos for children from preschool to elementary school age. Not only do these videos provide a follow-along inspiration to draw themselves, but parents can use these (mainly with the younger ones) to teach vocabulary. That's actually the other reason I decided to start this channel. I don't speak during it, there is only background music. I do this with my younger daughter and other bilingual parents can do this too - take the same video, and point out objects, colors, etc, in both languages! It's fun and good language practice. 



WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT

I decided to start off with mainly thematic art. That is thematic to the seasons and activities done during them. If it was summer, I was sharing videos about marine life. Now it's fall and I am sharing videos about drawing trees and leaves changing colors, harvest and there will be more, like woodland animals, some landscapes etc. It's probably obvious what I will be drawing during the winter season :) (can't wait for that one!) 



WHAT CAN YOU DO


If you like my new channel, please subscribe, like and comment on my videos. That will help me a lot and encourage me. Trust me, in the big world of youtube, every single like and comment is pretty huge! What you can also do is share specific playlists with your friends, and definitely let me know what your kids like to draw and what kinds of videos you like to see. I know that during these main 4 seasons people like to do seasonal crafts and if you have something specific as to what you'd like to draw with your kids, do let me know! That video can make it public before others that are lined up :)





THANK YOU

For reading my blog and giving a little attention to my channel. I truly appreciate every reader!

Have a great day and great season!

Live Art for a Devotional meeting

I decided to return to my blog with a special post. We are having summer camps here in the Czech Republic, and my mother-in-law shared her testimony and an encouragement from the Bible last night to a group of our girl volunteers. Anxiety is something that a lot of us struggle with, and often it is hard to talk about it. It could be because we are embarrassed or uncomfortable to admit it, to share about it, and are worried about what people are going to think as to - why we actually struggle. I really appreciate talking openly about such things. So when my mother-in-law asked me if I could illustrate a specific Bible verse in a live-art session while she shares with the group, I was really excited and said yes. The meeting was very uplifting, and in the end, some of the girls started opening up to us. So I would like to share this illustration with you all as well. Feel free to print out and colour it in, or share with a friend. (However it is not meant for redistribution and if you ...

The Girl and her Cat - a Watercolor Illustration Series, and some valuable artist encouragement!

Hi everyone!  After my last post , I am happy to share with you this emerging series about a little girl and her pet cat. This has been so much fun! Even though there isn't a written story behind it, these are inspired by my own childhood that was truly filled with lots of fun adventures with pets. Making time to sit down and paint wasn't always that easy this week though.  With kids being done with sickness and going back to kindergarten, then getting sick again, and my husband's dad flying in from the US to spend several days with us, it has really been something. How has your week been? How much time were able to give to art? Did you post about it anywhere where I could see? Let me know! Why this series There were a couple reasons behind this series.  1. It's easy to paint because it's connected to fun memories. And this girl is the kind of a character that I happen to draw a lot, and even though she doesn't look completely like me when I was a ki...

Sunday Sketches - line art and some feelings involved

Hi and thanks for coming to see my Sunday sketches :) I really enjoy doing this and hope that you will enjoy what you can see in my blog and in this post. These came around actually very randomly. I am in nature a line lover and since I haven't done anything like this (and left it black and white) for quite a while, I decided to just go for it and enjoy the lines again. And I did. I loved drawing these! They are just some young ladies, one is a fairy, another is an angel, the third one a teenager, and the last one a lover. They are titled with the first thing that came to my mind and I think it fits well enough :) When you look at them, you may notice that I enjoy drawing figures in different postures, the faces, and hair... yes, i love to draw these :) I am still unsure if and where I am going to post these for sale. They are cards 5x7 and they will be available only as originals. If you'd be interested, just come back here in a couple of days and the answer (and the lin...
