Vincent van Gogh Lecture

This is the last presentation in my Impressionist Unit, but this one is absolutely my favorite. I love Vincent van Gogh and his works, and a lot of kids sum his life up as beautiful paintings and an ear joke. The tortured artist was so much more. Again, this is just a breif look at the presentation. The finished lecture is 18 slides long.

Georges Seurat Lecture

Another one of my powerpoint presentations. This time we have George Seurat, and his unique painting technique. These slides are just a short introduction, the full presentation is actually 21 slides long!

Happy Birthday Claude Monet!

Claude Monet Lecture

Here is most of my presentation on Monet that I will be giving the kids in Art I tomorrow.
These slides are just a short introduction, because I will be lecturing and showing biographical videos.

I’m very happy with how things turned out.

If you want to view the whole lecture, or use it for your own class, you can view my listing HERE on Teachers Pay Teachers.

Color Study

Just a simple color study using watercolor paints.

This semester I am student teaching, and I am currently in a high school art room. I have been cleaning the room a bit to see some student work and I found tons of stuff from over 15 years ago. (From the previous teacher.) In that pile were some really beautiful watercolor studies, and the color related ones really caught my eye. I decided to make my own as a reference.

I showed the original studies to the current students and they seems to like the work. Most of them commented that it resembles fruity pebbles. (It really does!)

Watercolor WIP

This is a little watercolor I whipped together using student grade paints and  a magazine page as a reference.

Check out the image under the cut to see the finished piece.

Spooky Etsy Thank You Cards

This is my favorite of all the cards.

I'm so sorry that it has been so long since I have updated this account. I've been busy student teaching, which hasn't left me with much free time, and this blog has definitely been neglected. (I have been spending too much time on my Sometimes Foodie Account.) 

To fix this, I'll be updating with art and other goodies every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

To kick things off, here are some fall themed thank you cards. I add one to every etsy package that I ship out. If you have bought anything from me in the last month or so these might look a bit familiar...

My Daycare Art Lessons (Cheap art lessons for kids)

I have been teaching art at a daycare for over a year with a budget of $10 a class. I teach two classes once a week (one for kids age 2-3.5 and another for kids age 3.5-5+) which averages out to be 30 kids total. I'm sure you're all aware of this, but $10.00 does not buy a lot of art supplies, especially ones for 30 very small children.

I made this video to share a few of my art projects with you. If you have little ones around the house these might make for some fun weekend art projects, or if you're in a similar daycare/preschool situation with a limited budget this can help you stretch those dollars. 

This isn't all the lessons I have taught, these are just the ones that I still have examples of.

I plan on making another video with even more art ideas, so stay tuned.
