Emotion Flowers: Collage

I thought these turned out so cute! The kids loved making them and felt successful. I had  examples of eyes & mouths showing a variety of emotions. I feel now more than ever that collage is an important lesson to teach and reteach to improve eye/hand coordination.& dexterity. 

 

From Winter Wonderland to Gnome Village!

As spring arrived in Middle TN, my students created a new collaborative board. This time we made a Gnome Village!  Each class made different parts for the board. It is so fun watching them find the things that they created.  

#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.)
