A trip to the Broad

If you haven't gone, make reservations now.  This display of modern and contemporary art is so inspiring.  I loved that you could stop in on the second floor and see the vault, where the art cache is housed.  And, the attendants were so knowledgeable about the collection.

Gearing up for some art history

I am looking forward to teaching some hands on art lessons with art history content, from ancient cave, Mycenaean, and Egyptian to Modern Contemporary.

Fourth of July Flag

Loving my flag I made last year.  I have had it up since school got out and it's getting a little tattered, but that's giving it a little more character.  Can't wait to celebrate Independance Day!  Happy 4th everyone!

God's Eyes

Do you remember making God's eyes the kids had no idea what these were or what they were called but I remember making them in Sunday school years and years ago. They had a blast weaving with different colored yarn and we used coffee stirrer sticks.  This is good find motor skill practice to get the knots on the ends of the yarn.

Mermaid Making

We painted mermaids at Beth's 12 year birthday party.  It was so much fun each girl got really creative with the colors and the hair and they're all so unique I love them.

Cupcake Decorating

Here are the goodies we decorated our cupcakes with. I just put out trays of goodies and let the students help themselves.

Auction Art

Getting ready for the art auction at the end of the school year.  This is 4th grade, they each designed a cupcake.  Don't they look yummy.  This is one of my favs.
