Changing the Atmosphere...

This blog was started as an area to construct assignments for a graduate course I was taking over a year ago...I figured it was time to use it as a way to document what I am creating in the classroom with my students....so here is goes!


Welcome to the art room...halfway through the school year! This is what my classroom looked like before the kiddos stepped foot into the room, a lot has changed since then since we have become so messy! 
I will move forward to post some of the new units we are starting to work on during this cold weather we are having by next week. Seriously, we might all become penguins and polar bears in our spare time this winter due to the fact that a warm day is 20 degrees this winter.  But that is why we create art, to keep us warm in our souls when the weather is cold or we are having a rough day, week, month, or even year. Art is the core to our heart. 
Which brings me to my next point, heart without art would just be....he....
Okay, maybe that does not work quite as well as Earth without art is just....eh...
So anyways, I attended a conference on Friday at Plymouth State University, which are my old stomping grounds, and was completely inspired and my "teacher brain" was full of new ideas and inspiration thanks to all the teachers around this state. I am always thankful when I can be apart of a day like the one on Friday up in Plymouth.
