3rd Grade Dragon Collages: Ode to Phyl


Our dear friend, Phyl, from There's a Dragon in My Art Room is retiring.  I decided to have an ode to Phyl with my 3rd graders!! They created these dragon landscapes in collage.  Phyl, you are truly an inspiration to all art educators...and I am glad to call you my friend!!  Also...I think you will haunt me till I retire because every time I do a dragon project, I'll think about ya!! ha ha

  2. What a great idea! When I first saw the pictures on my blog list I thought they dragons were from Phyl. You couldn't have thought of a better tribute. I, too, will forever think of Phyl when I see dragons:))

  6. Be still, my heart!!!!!

    These collages are FABULOUS!! I love EVERY ONE OF THEM!! Please tell your third graders that they have done a SPECTACULAR job on this project.

    And Mr. E, what a sweet tribute! I'm very flattered - I think we need to meet in person some day - and then you'll find that I'm basically a disorganized klutz with a chocolate addiction and not some sort of superhuman.

    Anyhow - thank you thank you!

  7. @ Art Project Girl - I promise to pretend I'm surprised when you put up your post.

    Meanwhile, folks, one week to my student art show, but remember, here in NY we're still in school for another 6 weeks - until June 22 I think - so stay tuned!
