2nd Grade Create their Final Birds Prints (Schafer)

2nd Grade Create Printing Plates---ready to make prints (Schafer)

Children used pens to scratch on scratch-foam (meat tray material) to create their printing plates. They were expected to create lines of differing widths and some items in their prints would need to be colored in to create interest and variety in their print.

Displays around the halls (Stewart)

Been working hard to pepper the walls with art. Here is a display of all the Louise Nevelson-inspired reliefs. In addition to the work I try to engage all children and adults in the work by having questions and exercises posted (see below).

I am doing a few projects that require boxes of all sizes and TP or PT tubes. I need either shoe boxes, or smaller boxes such as gift boxes, or food boxes. Thanks for your support in advance!!

Auction update....My son's class....

This is just one of the many GEMS at the Murch Auction this year.....This is the one I helped with for my son's classroom. Each child created a bird and helped glue on the tile-like colored paper on the canvas. The style is very mosaic-like and is very fun to look at.

If you want me to advertise your auction art gift on the blog too, just e-mail me with a picture and a quick description. See you all at the Auction!!!
