2nd grade Heather Galler inspired mugs

Last week, 2nd grade started this Cassie Stephens and Heather Galler inspired lesson! They did a great job decorating their backgrounds by adding patterns and lines! For more details on how to do the lesson, click on Cassie's name! Here's how we made ours. 

5th grade Andy Warhol inspired Pop Art

The past couple of weeks, 5th grade has been working on this Andy Warhol and Pop Art inspired work of art! This is one of my last art on a cart lessons, and is great for someone in that situation. All you need is paper, pencils, Sharpies, and markers! Here's how we created them!

Chris Uphues Valentine's Hearts!

For the first time since I've been here, our school is going to do a Valentine's Day dance, and PTO approached me about the students making some decorations! 3rd grade kicked us off with some Chris Uphues inspired hearts! I was introduced to this artist by my favorite art teacher, Cassie Stephens. Click on her name and it'll take you to her blog, and show you all about Mr. Uphues, his art, and their projects! Here's how we made our own!

3rd grade Oil Pastel Snowmen at Night

3rd grade has been working on this project, inspired by the book, Snowmen At Night, for the past couple of weeks now, and I had to share how they're doing! This was one of my last art on a cart lessons, so I thought it might be helpful for art on a cart folks, or just someone looking for a simple, but beautiful wintry lesson.  Here's how we made them! By the way...This lesson was inspired by A Faithful Attempt art blog! Look em' up! :)

1st grade Eric Carle inspired seahorses

1st grade has been working on their Eric Carle Mr. Seahorses for a couple of classes now, and they're doing a great job! Thank you to Art with Mrs. Gianneto for this great idea! Check out the details and videos below to see how we created these lovelies!

Kindergarten Polar Bears

Oh sweet kindergartners....They are so eager and so ready to learn, but it's a little difficult sometimes coming up with fun/engaging/cute things for them to do! They usually say, "I'm done!!" in 10 minutes, so you've got to find just the right project to keep their little hands and minds engaged! (and I'm still art on a cart, so that's limiting as well!) I was cruising around Pinterest the other day, and found this precious piece of art for a children's nursery, and thought it'd be fun for Kindergarten to try out! Link to the site in the picture. This took one 45 minute class to do! Here's how we created them, as well as some videos showing how to complete this :)
