DIY Pinhole Solar Eclipse Viewer

Looked it up on the Nasa.gov Website
We are not in a good viewing area but it was fun to make the boxes

Back to School Prep

Twas the week before school would be back in session
All the teachers were stirring with anticipation
The clean smocks were hung on their hooks with care
The mannequins came out of their snug little bed
10 shiny new totes were filled to the brim

Interactive Mural

The interactive murals everyone has been posting are so much fun.  The kids at school will be excited to have one too.  So, why not!



Might get a better shot when it is on the wall instead of spread out between two tables.

Revived an old Art Room stool that has been welded back together several times.

Five Minute Drawing

Kiwi is a green cheek conure.  Pet of a dear friend
The legs and feet need to be bigger and flatter

Art Room Signs

I have always used a graphite stick to transfer lettering.  In a search for diy signs I saw someone using chalk.  Chalk is so much easier.  It makes a soft bright line that doesn't get in the way of oil paint pens and easily brushes off when done.  Easy Peasy! 
Just print out your words, flip them over, rub the back of the paper with chalk, trace, apply paint pen.  Brush chalk off or leave it for effect.

Used oil pens because the chalk pen rubs right off and I don't plan on changing these.  Wood sign boards & easel purchased at Target .30 cents on clearance.
