#turkeyaday25: Review


I've been doing #turkeyaday for some time now.  It is fun for me to come up with different ways to approach it each year.  It also keeps me being creative & creating in my life outside of teaching art. 

 This year I combined two ideas....Disney Bounding & Squishmallow Turkeys

Here are the turkey's I created during Nov.













  

How many can you guess? 

(ps... The way Blogger uploads photos now...they may not be in order. I don't have the bandwidth to reorganize them.)

Monochromatic Flower Paintings

My first graders are rocking this monochromatic painting lesson. No drawing. All painting.They were scared at first...but totally proud at the end!!
I did a tiktok about the "process" & placed it on IG. Find me @ArtWithMrE

Testing Dollar Tree Acrylic Markers

I was testing Crafter Square & PrimeArt Acrylic Markers (purchased at Dollar Tree) The 
Crafter Square has a finer point, but better opacity. PrimeArt has a slightly thicker point, but needed two coats to match Crafter Square. Not bad though...and great if you have young artists at home.

#pumpkinaday25 so far....

Here are the pumpkins I've created so far this year!
If you are new here, I do an art challenge for myself to create something each day (October is #pumpkinaday, November is #turkeyaday, and Feb. is #heartaday).  I try out different themes each time to keep it fresh.  Been doing this for awhile...look back to other years on my blog to see more!





I must have deleted the 12th -26th?!?! I had posted them on IG...you can look there.
