Go Away Big Green Monster and Skeleton Marionettes

Okay I am going to try to post every day this week!
Since I have been gone so long!! I have a lot to catch up.
Here is a kinder-first grade lesson idea that you can do TODAY! It’s so easy! First check out this book from your library, it has holes cut out and is a for sure crowd pleaser for the little ones!

These are the pieces I cut before class. For the eyes, they have to fold it in half and cut a circle.

We talked about emotion and colors. They could glue the mouth happy or sad/mad

The quietest table gets to have a pet!!! SSSSSSSHHHHHHH don’t wake him up…he BITES!!

OF course we had to add glitter at the end…this art teacher LOVES glitter!!
They also had to write Big Pink (or green or orange) Monster to incorporate writing

This project was with second grade. A 30 minute lesson.
We just drew a skeleton and taped it to some popsicle sticks and boom, you’ve got a marionette! I think this idea could be embellished with some Dia De Los Muertos decorations; hair,hats,maracas, flowers, glitter, and googly eyes!!

we made them talk to each other and students created  mini puppet shows

This weekend my daughter decided to give herself a creative hair cut! Yes she is sporting a mullet until we can take her to get something else…right now it’s a perfect new do in time for Halloween!! With a mom for an art teacher you have to know this was imminent. She cuts very well for a two year old and has access to scissors with all of our art supplies.

She thinks we should “glue it back!” Anyone else have a haircut story?

At least we had our family pictures taken last week! Heres a few of them!! Perfect timing on that!

Art Birthday Party and a bunch of random stuff.


Last weekend, I did an Art birthday party for one of my photography clients. Their daughter turned 6 and this is what she wanted. They had the CUTEST outdoor studio set up with 8 little kid tables and 25  little colored kid sized fold up chairs, it was so cute!

We made the marbleized peacocks http://www.elementaryartfun.blogspot.com/search/label/marbleizing 
and she had set out all kind of jewels and stuff for them to decorate with!

A few students have been coming in my room during their recess to finish work. They are so good that sometimes I let them do a special project. This was a neon painting for the glow room. The face was done using photoshop and my LCD projector. Email me if you have questions about how to do it…

I LOVE working with spray paint and recently started an Earth Day project with fifth grade. They made a simple design, cut it out to form a stencil, and then paint!

This was made from a drawing the student made of Hello Kitty, cutting, and using silver spray paint. We also used a Valentine decoration for the “LOVE”

Second grade made these sassy creative penguins that turned out all so unique and cute!

I try to do a good eye project at least once a year. I will post pics of the ones who Finished Friday! So amazing!
I figured out the BEST way to do the iris….markers around the edges then use water to paint. markers turn into paint!!!
