Art Show!!

I love art shows. Everyone is all smiles- the parents, the students, and the teachers! I have lots more pics to upload but for right now here is me with both panels:

I'm so proud of my students! We had a great turnout and I very much enjoy getting to visit with the students and their parents. 

It's Sculpture City in my classrooms!

Right now almost every grade level is working on a sculpture.

6th grade is making Egyptian canopic jars 

4th grade is making Wayne Thiebaud inspired cupcakes out of Model Magic. All of these in the pictures are completed.

And 3rd grade is making fish out of recycled coke bottles

Let the sculpture making continue!

Winter Portraits!

It is technically still winter, even though it's March and we are on Spring Break. Our temps really haven't warmed up yet but I thought posting this project would be a great farewell to winter :)

I saw this project on Pinterest and knew I had to try it out. These were done on 12"x18" paper, and colored with markers. Students had the option of drawing scarves, or no scarves, gloves, or mittens. All students had their cup or mug of spmething warm to drink like hot chocolate. We discussed different lines, patterns, textures, and colors for their winter clothing.

All of them are by my 5th graders. :)

Crayon art for my classroom

I finally made a melted crayon piece for my classroom. I hot glued the crayons on the top then melted them with hair dryer. I painted the quote with acrylic paint.

 I think it turned out pretty nice.

Flower Power!

I just had to get these inflatable flowers from Oriental Trading. They are perfect for our "Peace, Love, Learning" theme. I already had the "Groovy 'peaces' (pieces) of Artwork" display up, and this year I decided to add the flowers. I hope they stay looking good all year!

Inflatable flowers, you are what has been missing from my life! :p

Little Classroom Decorations

These are some car decorations I made from glitter foam. I did everything with our die cuts. I glued the tiny pieces to the bigger pieces. I'm super proud of them.

This is a during and after shot of a poster I colored. I found the poster on Pinterest. They are from Doodle Art Alley, I think.

New Bulletin Board

Here is my new bulletin board for student artwork. Our theme is "Wild about Learning" again so this year I did "Sssensational Artwork". I bought snake border and colorful plush snakes. I also die cut the big letters and the green snakes. Last year I did  "Paws and Take a Look at our Artwork" with paw prints and animal print border. That was fun too. I think this will be even better. It's something different to look at anyway!
