"Where the Wild Things Are" Art Lesson

After teaching art to 3 Kindergarten classes in one day you are either completely exhausted, have glue in your hair, black paint under your nails and a stain on your new jeans... 

or...

You know that you have the best job in the world.

I KNOW I have the best job in the world and that all the mess, snotty noses and coughing in your face that comes with a 5 year olds personality is all worth it. It is worth it when 60 students create "Monsters" inspired from "Where the Wild Things Are" and the results are just AMAZING...


This lesson including many, many more will be published on my "Kids Art Classroom" website shortly. 

Painting is something I hardly ever have the energy to do on Thursdays when I teach Kindergarten so these I painted yesterday.

How to add pictures to this blog with a Mac?

I have all these pictures of some brand NEW art I painted yesterday and can not for the life of me figure out how to do it. I just can't stand it when blogger changes the layout like this... all of a sudden I need the picture URL to add it to my blog. With a Mac I have no idea how to do that. After trying for an hour I have given up so this will be the first blog I have ever "done" without a picture and it is soooo booooring...

I have to do some more research..... or if you know how to do it please let me know...

Gloomy Wednesday when nothing seems to go right...

Art lesson for kids and some of my new ART

I need new glasses or something... seems like all my pictures are blurry these days (sorry). I would also LOVE to have a the Gorilla pod... 

Painted these two (above) yesterday.... today I am not sure that I have the strength to even hold a paint brush. I had 3 classes today, First grade and Kindergarten and we did collage fish, finger paint and wax resist. Don't ask why I spend the money on a manicure Friday=)

This is the wax resist... we had so much fun and it took the whole hour to color the entire 12x18 with oil pastels in as many colors as we could find. We painted with black paint over the pastels and used some old pencils as "scratchers" to draw lines... amazing colors.

On Thursday we study Matisse... some fun tissue paper collage work with liquid starch.

Migraine but still creating...

My migraines keep coming back over and over again lately... every 3 days it seems like...

Makes it hard to work and just function...the medication makes me "funny" and I have tried to teach art to 20 1st graders while in the middle of a drug induced coma like state and it is not a good idea...

I finally made another appointment to see my Dr. and hope we can continue to look for a better way to deal with this. Sigh... :(

On a different note I have listed some art in my store again this morning...these last 3 pieces are pretty big 12x16, compared to what i usually paint on...

They where painted in 2008...

... and takes up too much room in my studio...

So here they are... FOR SALE in my store
