Here are some of the whistle designs for this year:

Practicing At Home

I had a fifth grade student bring in this drawing that they did on their own time for fun.  I love hearing about students creating art on their own time, but love it even more when they bring it in for me to see!

Art Journal

When I find pictures in my student's art journals that I am drawn too, I just can't help but share.

This one was completed by a first grader.  Love how the hair was drawn.

Ceramic Mosaic Mural Project 2015

For Middle School Art Club this year we are working on a ceramic mosaic mural of a large tree for our building.   So far we have spent our first 3 meetings creating clay leaves and glazing them.  It will be very exciting to see how this project progresses throughout the school year.

 Creating clay leaves.

Glazing Leaves.

During our next meeting we will be creating tree bark.
