Welcome to my blog! I'm hoping to compile my adventures and experiences as an elementary art teacher here. This blog is full of art lessons, ideas, student artwork, and resources for parents, students, friends and other art educators. Enjoy!

Warm and Cool Landcapes
Third grade students learned about the warm and cool colors and applied their knowledge of color theory in landscapes. They used the warm colors in the background and the cool colors in the foreground and middle ground.
Mondrian and the Primary Colors
First grade students learned about the Dutch artist, Piet Mondrian and used the primary colors in a work of art!
Jasper Johns Inspired Names
Fourth grade students learned about the artist Jasper Johns. He was an influential artist during the Pop Art movement. Jasper Johns was known for painting images that the public was familiar with such as the American flag, numbers and a map of the United States. Students painted something familiar with them; their name, as the subject matter of their artwork and used a grid method similar to Jasper Johns.
