Too cute not to share....

Kindergarten read "Aliens Love Underpants" (SUPER cute book). We made aliens and unders to put on the alien. SUCH a cute project. The other photo below is 1st grade salmon inspired by the book "Wow! America!" I hope you enjoy them!

Art Club Begins

This week begins my weekly art club meetings with 5th through 8th graders after school. I have such a great time with the kids and I am excited to begin another year. Until we have enough lids to the bottle cap mural we are going to start a book making project. I want to encourage students to journal, draw, sketch, or anything of that nature by making beautiful books.

I will also post some pictures this week of some new projects!

Happy October!!

1st grade pop-art

I showed the kids Andy Warhol art and how he used bold colors and repeated images. The kiddos learned how to trace thier own drawings to make copies. Then, each image was colored with a color group from the color wheel (primary, secondary, contrasting, and analogous colors). GREAT JOB!! I love the one that has 16 faces instead of 4. This little guy loves to be different and even made awesome backgrounds!

obsession

I am really loving sharpies, markers, and crayons lately. I find myself doodling and coloring (paisley drawings, doodles, and trees)whenever I am sitting still and "bored." I have also become addicted to pinterest.com. It is a great site to save ideas and inspirations for teaching. If you like to doodle and want some neat ideas search zentangles!

Well, that is all for now. New photos will be coming when art projects begin to trickle in for the school year.
