Remember when I was showing off the Opposition Project that my Drawing 2 students did, and I brought up the problem of grading late work?
Well a couple of my late workers got their drawings in so I wanted to go ahead and share those too =)  They are two extremely talented girls so of course [...]

The paper sculpture project I just started with my Intro to 2D kids just took on a whole new life.  They are now going to make three versions of the same image, reinterpreted to imitate various artistic styles throughout history.  I am going to give them mini art history lessons in the next few weeks, [...]

I continue to be so impressed with my students.  Here are some works by my Drawing II kids for a colored pencil project about opposition.  They each had two opposing words to work with, and were supposed to show a relationship or interaction between those two words.  This is the first time they’ve used color [...]

This is the first display I set up in my classroom!  My kids did a project on Architecture & Color… which means they had a LOT to learn (this is their first art class.)  We covered color theory, basic photoshop & photography tips, drawing, AND painting just for one little project.  They probably have no [...]

My Intro to 2D class is going to start a paper sculpture project later this week, & I thought I’d share the example I made here.  I decided to make a seahorse and I put him in an underwater scene (seaweed, bubbles, starfish, and a school of fish all included!)
I painted paper with watercolors, then [...]

Oh my gosh… you have to check out these photos.  A photographer named Tom Storm captured images of world landmarks in BUBBLES.  I can only imagine how many bubbles and shots it must have taken to get each one perfect.
I love this one of Chicago…

“In the beginning of most any artistic pursuit, specific themes and [...]

Hello hello, and Happy New Year!!  I’m planning on doing a year in review post for 2010… but I haven’t gone through the photos yet sooo… expect that soon =)  But for NOW I am going to share a few paintings and prints that I recently listed over at Peridot…

The craft fair was so.  fun.  It wasn’t as successful in terms of sales as I would have hoped (it was TINY.  Seriously the smallest craft fair I have ever been to, meaning there was very little traffic) but it was so good to finally just DO it.  I loved setting up my table, I [...]

I recently got into a small, local craft fair and cannot be more excited.  I finallyfinallyFINALLY applied for one and am so excited to get ready for it, set up my little booth space, etc etc etc.  It’s amazing how quickly it is coming together, once I actually got my act together.
I have been working [...]
