Behind the scenes, February

Lots going on in the art room these days! Here are a few sneak peeks of things in the works...

Fourth grade Shape Explosion Drawings, learning one point perspective (lesson available in my TpT shop!)

First graders are continuing their African Art unit with some stamped weavings... we’ll add some stitching this week.

We also completed our Anansi the Spider illustrations.

Kindergarten made 3D hearts and paper sculptures...

Beginning paper molas in 4th

String art by my Needle & Thread club


International Day - students getting ready for the parade of nations - so cute!

 

Teacher of the Year!

I am thrilled to share the news that I am Teacher of the Year for my school, Dolvin Elementary! I have been teaching at Dolvin since 1996 and am so fortunate to have had a wonderful career in art education with many fantastic students and coworkers. Congrats also to our Professional of the Year, Nancy Adams - she and I have put in some serious time at Dolvin ;) - our school wouldn’t be the same without her!

Looking forward to continuing our creative adventures... peace, love & art!
