Oh the stories I tell

I am not sure any of you know this but I tell some great stories toy students.  And of course all my are true.   Well of the stories I told student in the pass is that I live in mushroom house.  They all want to know how I get in it.   

Well one oft student made mushroom house a few weeks ago at home. She brought it in to me.  It is now part of my permanent collection in my art room.   

There is even a spot for my Unicom but it is invisible.  

Pesky Peacocks

IThis is the first kindergarten project of the year.  We talked about are warm colors for the background. Then I help all my Kundera print there hand.  We used oil pastels to make the body.   Boy did they turn out cute or what.  

We are using them for are square 1 art project this year.   

The minis are here

Look what came to the art room today.  Yea for us.  Question is what apps do you all use in your art room.  I would love to here. Thanks

I will not be starting to have right away I have to get through my square one fund raiser project first.

Room updates

Here are a few things I did to my room this year so for.  

The start of something new.

I know the past few years I dont blog that much.  A post here and post there... I'm going to try and be better about that.

Well I have big new.  I am switching to TAB this school year. I am really excited and nervous at the same time.  Mrs M. (The glue that hold are district art teachers together) and I have been working hard over the summer trying to get things all ready.

Last year I moved in to a new room again (the big art room)  and I shows you all some pictures  well once again I will do that.. I well be changing my room up to have all my studios.  So I will post pictures as soon as it is done.

So please stay tuned in to see what happens next in my messy art room.

David Zinn-ish drawings

Years ago look at his pictures with her super cool action this year. My fifth and forth graders did some drawings on paper try to get some rough ideas of drawing creatures. After that I gave them one brick on the building to use chalk and do the drawing. My students love it.
