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 [...]

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 [...]

A couple weeks ago I tweeted about learning a new way to paint, and then I lost my camera with the photos documenting it!  I finally found it though, so here they are.  It’s an interesting process, VERY quick (each painting takes about 10-15 minutes only!) but with great results.
Isn’t that crazy?!  All done with [...]

My flower painting, which I have been working on off & on for a while now, is not so much about flowers anymore (see how it started here.)  Here are a couple more in progress pictures…
And where it is now…
I don’t know.  I’m not sure how I feel about it right now, I’m just kind [...]

So today is very gray (although it’s supposed to get to 60!) and I have a MIDTERM this afternoon and looking at my notecards is literally making me feel sick I’ve been studying so much, so here’s a little photo inspiration to pump up this day.

I LOVE this so much.

Oh my gosh, how cute are these?!!

They’re coasters from Curbly.  Adorable.  They kind of make me want to turn into a MAJOR art teacher geek and start wearing paint palette earrings or something.  WHICH EXIST!  I just did a search and found these:

Those second ones are so cute and tiny.  They are from this [...]

Stamp making, round two:

original drawing -> stamp -> print
This is the example I made in front of the class, to demonstrate to them how to do it.  It’s crazy how quick they can be, and I have soo many other ideas of what to make.  I’m not 100% thrilled with this one but I like [...]

As promised, here are some photos of the stamp that I made yesterday to use as an example for my Saturday school class…

I had a lot of fun making it and now I want to make them 24/7.  I’m actually really behind on work right now cause I kept trying out different colors and color [...]

Tonight my friend was talking about doing an art lesson on suspension, and it reminded me of a project I did for a photography class a couple years ago so I thought I’d share it here  =)

I can’t remember what the assignment was exactly, I just remember that I wanted to play around and experiment [...]
