Illustrated Recipe

Love this project!  Not motivated by this recipe but it was a request.  So here it is:  Good Cookie Ice Pop

Staff After Hours in the K-12 Art Room

Right at the top of the kiln.  Beautiful creations by my colleagues. I compare opening the kiln to opening a present.  Super excited, a little anxious and then joyful.

Tomorrow I will take a photo of the exceptional clay hand dishes the 7th graders made and then onto firing the 22 clay boxes Studio Foundation just finished.  Busy kiln!

Nov. 1st Washington County Art Teacher PLC

So fortunate to be a part of this wonderful group of teachers!

Blick sent us Luminous Fossil Lesson supplies.  These photos were taken in the midst of production.  Wish I had photos of the final products. 

We also broke into grade level groups to discuss assessment. The examples that teachers brought were superlative. Our discussion was invaluable. 
We built custom standards handbooks.
Took an in-depth look at Book Studies, Learning Walks, Lesson Studies, Accommodating IEP's, Creating a Toolkit, Classroom/Behavior Management.
Took an afternoon STEAM Bot Break to introduce (or review) the Design Thinking Process, Found Object Assemblage, Abstract Art and some whimsy.

Fantastic Friday

My school is lucky to have a Summer Recreation Program M-F.  The Public Library - The Old Stone House Library - organizes and sponsors Fantastic Friday activities.  I have the honor of providing the finale. This year we made tape & canvas creations.  45 participants this year and it was so much fun thanks to the help of the library ladies, moms, dads, guardians, camp counselors, my daughter and all of the respectful kids.

The Hyde Museum

Our local museum is so beautiful.  We are so lucky to have it.  These phone photos don't even do it justice.  Shout out to Jenny Hutchinson, Curator Of Museum Education & Programming.  She does an amazing job! Link to the website below.

Fairy Tale Tower

In a search for Design Challenges I found fairy tale challenges here: momgineer.blogspot.com

Students will get a kick out of this Tower Challenge.  They need to design an escape.  I made the towers to get them charged up for a creative escape route.
