Art Room Happenings for the 2015 year thus far..

This is probably the least amount I've never not shared via blog of all my amazing students work! I have two excuses! The first being I share just about everything on instagram and the second being, I didn't have any supplies at my "new" school that I started at in September so it was a rough start "winging" it with projects to teach!

Here's a glimpse in a few things we accomplished!

3rd time's a charm they say

We had our third annual Fine Arts Night on Tuesday, and every year I psych myself out and stress my self out before the big event!

It went great! It was the first time in three years that I really felt that parents genuinely wanted to know what their kids had been up to, and where their kid's art was! Great feeling for me, the teacher.

Here's a few pics from the big night!

Threes days back from break and I've got the ball rollin'

3rd Gade clay snowman faces! 

Okay so techincally these weren't created in one class period, my 6th graders started these right before Christmas Break and had the chance to finish them up today in a catch up class.

I started this new Gustav Klimt inspired lesson with my 4th graders. They are loving using GOLD paint! Haha!

Stay tuned! More to come! 

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...in the art room

If you have a 60 min art class, these are a snap to get done. I only get my kiddos for 40 min, but bless their hearts, they came in on their lunch recess to complete these beauties. 
Candy Canes done by 5th grade. 

Kinder Christmas or winter mice. This project can be your worst nightmare if you don't have everything prepped and ready to go. I had to hot glue all candy cane tales, eyes and puff ball noses.  All snowflakes were punched out durning prep times or having early finishers from other classes help me out. 

1st grade Santa "cropped" portraits. My first graders are so cute look at those rosy cheeks they gave their Kris Kringles. 

These are 3D snowflakes and are being completed by a different 5th grade class. Need more than 40 min to complete these! 

The bad thing about Dec, is there is only a 3 week window to make any "Christmas" art. The good thing about January is that snowman can be carried into the winter month! :)
