A few weeks ago, my students and I made Jam Jar Lanterns in the Art Cart After School program. Made using tissue paper, modge podge, jewels, and black puff paint, these jars transformed into beautiful works of hanging art.

May 11, 2009Kinder Mural
May 11, 2009Last week we started work on the Mural in the Kinder playground. It’s looking good so far! The Kinders did a great job, and stayed relatively clean (which surprised me…I on the other hand had paint everywhere!) With parent help, this project should be done in the next few weeks.
My Blurb Book!
May 11, 2009I made a sample art book, using art images made by the students at Torrey Pines Elementary, and I love how it turned out. I used Blurb.com, and am very satisfied with the results. I am really excited to see the Kindergarten Alphabet books. They are like this book, but much bigger.

Gala Art: 3rd grade landscapes
April 30, 2009A very colorful galla project! Each student created a square by reproducing an abstract section of a sketch and adding a variety of patterns in warm and cool colors. They used oil pastel and watercolor to achieve super vibrant colors. Like a puzzle, all the squares came together to create a river landscape.
