Coloring sheets.

So I draw coloring sheets right in front of our little artists....it is fun and they enjoy seeing and observing the process.  I usually draw and then run off a few copies for students to color when they are finished with the actual project or activity at hand.  This way I also engage in conversation with the students on what they are interested in.  Bottom line is....if art isn't interesting, they will not enjoy it.  If you do not enjoy it, you lose the "why" in art.  

Off and painting!

I got the paints out for the first graders this past week.  Learned a bit about color and how it works.  They used warm colors on the leaves and cool colors on the background.  Most kiddos chose to trace the leaves rather than draw them free hand....good choice!

2019-2020 is on!

It is about time to start posting for the school year.  Here's to a great school year.  Here is the vision for the school I am grateful to work at.  Gooooo Westside Wildcats!
