Here we go. A start to a new school year, a new teacher (me) and a new art class. It's all very exciting. I hope to bring a good mix of project to all grades. I'm sure I will be learning a lot myself.

The first week was short, but we were able to get in a few lessons.



The 7th and 8th graders jumped right in with some Circle Painting
(circlepainting.com) and made some cooperative artwork.



The 3rd graders worked in teams to do the "Pass the Painting" lesson.
First the class discussed the parts of a cat. All the parts were listed. Then each student gets a color paint to work with. Student one starts with the head then passes the painting to student two, the ears are added, ect. When completed we have a crazy mixed up cat. I like they way they came out.
