I'm an Art Teacher

Monet's Upcycled Waterlilies

This was a second grade project inspired by Pinterest. The students learned about Monet and Impressionism and Diego Rivera for brushstroke techniques. We used the rubber band paint brushes for the water and gold acrylic paint for the frames. A special thanks goes out to Kari and her mom Kristy, aka the lunch lady, for saving and delivering all these apple trays to art. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Bugs

These were made by first graders with supplies provided by the Donor's Choice Award. Thank you!

Georgia O'keefe Poppies

This was a great first grade project. We learned about Georgia O'Keefe and had a lot of fun painting! I got the idea for this project on Painted Paper.

Elephants

This was a kindergarten project. I love the expressions they're able to achieve. I made special paint brushes out of rubber bands for the skin. They are great because they make an interesting texture, they're fun to use and easy to clean. I got the idea for this project on Pinterest.

Snow Globes

Made by third grade. We used colored pencils and diamond dust. I got the idea for the stand on Pinterest.

Jellyfish Ornaments

These were made with papermache on water balloons by the fifth graders as ornaments.

Snowman Ornaments

The stick snow men were made by second graders and the stuffed one was by Chuckie, a fourth grader and made during clubs.
