It's Thursday - just before Holiday Break and I hope I get through the day without having to do a classroom meditation session (funny - I almost typed medication session)....
I have been working on a very cute project with the kids grades 2-6 who are done with their work. The goal is to teach space, overlapping, collage and recycling (by using old holiday wrapping paper) to create a cityscape. I found myself getting really engaged and now have to share what I did. I asked the kids to make the city pertain to their life -- make it all about them....so we have a lot of fun and creativity going around. The downside - the mess -- lots of little bits of paper all over the place. But hey, it's easier than painting!
So - enjoy my little Ms. G village....It's still a work in progress but you get the idea. I've had this gold wrapping paper lying around my front closet for a couple of years.
Welcome to a space about sharing ideas, musings and possibly some venting...about teaching art. I LOVE the people who I work with and especially the art teachers who I don't get to see very much. When we DO get together - there is a firey burst of energy coming from our gatherings! Hopefully, we will be able to share some of that happy, excited to be an artist/teacher energy with you! Oh yeah, is also about sharing lessons, inspirations, art museum reviews and whatever else comes to mind...
