school pictures

Being an adult and taking school pictures is such a funny thing. Did you get a chance to see your kids/friends school picture today?

Art Exploration

This is my newest class. We are doing lots of quick and fun projects, learning about the elements of art, and studying contemporary artist while we're at it. These are shrinky dinks, our first samples:

3-D Modular Art

Students took everyday items and created a module. That module was repeated (at least 3 times) to create a sculpture. Here is the making and the results!

2-D Contour Drawing

Contour drawing! This is always fun for my students. They can't look away from what they are drawing for more than a moment and the can't lift their pencil. The results are always interesting, and they've learned about REALLY looking at what they are drawing. Good stuff!
