Having fun with art.....
 |
| adding glitter to snowflakes makes the students happy...but makes a BIG mess! |
 |
| having fun with my art students |
 |
| they love working with model magic..... |
 |
| assignment was to create alien little monsters...... |
 |
| and to be as colorful and creative as possible..... |
 |
| students had to color their own clay(thanks to a technique I learned from my artsy friend Jaime...) |
 |
| they colored white model magic with color markers and man do the kids love this project... |
 |
| then they could use googly eyes and pipe cleaners..... |
 |
| then make colorful back drop....they loved it...happy students = happy teacher.... |

| so talented and sad to say Monday is our last day.... |

HAPPY DAY........
One of my favorite art magazines....
I started with a challenge in Cloth Paper Scissors several months ago, you were to design a piece of fabric...
and this challenge led to another....I was asked by the magazine to do my thing on a blank camera bag......and send it in, I was 1 of 5 chosen for this challenge, of 200 who entered the fabric challenge.
This was my camera bag idea....
