It Begins...


Every year I pick a theme for my all school art show....that is just how I roll.  I know many of you do not do it that way...and that is ok!!  Many of my friends hold back art work throughout the year, and put together a best of the best type of art show.  LOVE THEM!!  The themed art show works for me...and my school.  I love that it doesn't get "old"...I try to come up with new/fun ideas each year.  This challenges me in creating new lessons to fit within the theme, meet the requirements for our district curriculum, & fulfill the state standards!!  This year we're doing ROBOTS & ROCKET SHIPS!  With this being the first week back...I've just started into the lessons which we "might" use for the art show.  I say might...because I usually do at least three projects per grade level within the theme so I have choices!!!  I also start as soon as we get back...because you never know how many days you'll be out for snow/ice...or how many days kids will be out with colds/flu.  

Anyways..just thought I'd get you thinking about the spring art show early! 
HAVE A GREAT DAY!!

  1. Why not broaden it to Science Fiction? That would open up the topic to futuristic landscapes, alien portraits, diagrammed inventions and so much more!

  2. As a new(er) teacher, I have struggled to find a passion for art shows in addition to my blossoming curriculum...but you have saved my sanity. THEMES! Of course! Thank you for all of the inspiration you have provided our profession.
