Monet Field of Poppies

For Memorial Day we looked at Monet's Field of Poppies and read Flanders Field.  Then we made imitation of Monet's painting using oil clay on cardboard.  They are beautiful.

Tape Resist Self -Portrait

Not having an artroom made teaching art to my students a challenge.  Our classroom was carpeted and that was always a concern when using paint.   

Mom and Me

After learning about Mary Cassat, my 2nd and 3rd grade students made Mom and Me portraits.  They came out very nice and a sweet gift for Mother's Day.

Nativity with Burning Bush

At Christmas Time students imitated aNativity with Burning bush by Albert Herbert.  I love this painting and I love how the kids chalk/glue resist paintings came out.
