Yes, we added a drizzle of black glue to the paintings for a bit of drama.  (Glue made with white glue and tempra paint)

Fall Art Projects

Here are a few of the art projects from Worthington Estates Elementary School.  The Art school year began at WES with a school wide lesson on Vincent Van Gogh and Sunflowers.  The school building is blossoming with sunflowers.  They will be coming down soon.

liddil Artist, About Me

My fellow colleague, Kelly Liddel, has created a new blog. She's just getting started. She has some great lessons - so this should be a fantastic resource.

Sunflower samples

Van Gogh Sunflowers

Well we are off to a fantastic start.  My classes are large and I have many.  A total of 500 kids.  I'm starting with a lesson on Van Gogh, poor guy.  He didn't have a very good life, but he finally got his due.  My students were very taken with his tragic life and the possibility of becoming famous after death.  I'm posting a photo of my Van Gogh Bulletin board and some of my samples of the Art project.  I will post students work when it's completed.

Welcome Back!

Welcome back Worthington Estates Students!

We are into the first week of school, which means lots of learning rules and procedures.  Next week the REAL fun begins!

We are starting off with an entire school project.  Learning about Van Gogh and his struggles.  Every student K-6 will create a Sunflower (our halls will be filled with Sunflowers).  :)  Pictures to come soon!

February

Hi all

Sorry I've not posted lately, but I've been away from teaching for 4 weeks.  The first week, with the flu/cold.  Then I took family leave to help my daughter and her new baby boy - my first grandson.  We have already completed our first Art Lesson.  It was a plaster cast of his feet and hands.  It turned out great. Photos soon!
