Live and Create!


In art as in life, there is no need to reinvent the wheel or
fix what is not broken. Sharing what is working in my art teaching world and
hoping to hear and learn from you is the reason for my blog! I currently have some
amazing young artists so take a look at some of our recent work! Please feel free to comment and add
suggestions! I would be remiss in not thanking all the fellow artists and
teachers out there who I have previously explored and learned from. Your myriad
ideas and projects have served as an inspiration to me and my students!
Be inspired!

Grade 3 North American Birds!

In 3rd grade we read "The Boy Who Drew Birds" and learned about the artist/scientist, John James Audubon. Students were fascinated with the story and life of Audubon and were anxious to try their hand at drawing birds. We did guided drawings of Blue Birds, Kingfishers, Owls, Ducks and Hummingbirds. Students were able to choose the bird they would draw for their project and I demonstrated tips and techniques for optimum use of colored pencil. Check out these amazing birds!
