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 [...]

If you missed it, last week I started a new feature here called Medium of the Month.  Each month I’m going to pick a different artistic medium, research and explore it, and create something using that medium.  This month is watercolor (mmmmhmmm!!) and you can see my first post about it right here.  It has [...]

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 [...]

Hope you enjoyed =)  Have a great weekend!

And where it is now…
I don’t know.  I’m not sure how I feel about it right now, I’m just kind [...]

Hello hello =)
This weekend I have been hard at work painting, and have (mostly) enjoyed every minute of it.  Here is a little peek at an in-progress painting I have been working on…
And here is what it looked like a couple months ago when I first started working on it..

Haha.  I have ideas in mind [...]

Have any of you ever painted with shaving cream before?!  It’s a really interesting (and EASY) technique that I heard of recently, and last week I decided to try out.  Within just a few minutes (seriously, like, 5 minutes tops) I made these:
Cool, right??  I thought it would be a fun activity for my art [...]

I want this on my wall.  It’s so pretty… maybe somedaayyy ♥

One of my assignments for class is to make a reflective teaching journal to record my experiences teaching in a high school.  I FINALLY got started on it, and modeled it off the heart book that I made a couple weeks ago.
This is the first page, before I put the covers onnn
And then I put [...]
