Michelle Wooderson challenges you to a 31-day painting commitment. This art project is easier — and smaller — than you think.
have been quite busy lately, and happily so. i recently started two new picturebooks, and have been quite swamped with editorial work...
Now available with the UK/NZ/AU version of the word "colour"... click here: Art History Cards Set #1 ** This file has been updated to include a PowerPoint file as well. So, now you can project your prompts directly on a large screen for students to use as warm-ups or bell ringers! ** These art history cards feature a selection of inspiring famous artworks with a prompt that can be used to spark drawing and writing. Print off the cards on cardstock, cut in half and laminate to protect them. You can print off as many copies as you would like. You are welcome to share them with other teachers in your school or district. Students can use these cards • in art journals or sketchbooks • at an art center • as an enrichment activity • as an activity with a substitute teacher • to spark an idea for a larger artwork • in combination with a creative writing activity (have the kids write a story, poem or statement about their response to the featured artwork) Each page has two cards, for a total of 16 prompt cards. Artists include: Winslow Homer Pablo Picasso Beatrix Potter Bansky Frida Kahlo Helen Frankenthaler Grant Wood Romare Bearden Alexander Calder Edvard Munch Marc Chagall Paul Klee James Rizzi Hundertwasser Henri Matisse Keith Haring This is part of a MEGA Sketchbook Prompt Bundle which you can buy here.

Hey, y'all! I'm so excited to share something that I'm sure many of you already do but I feel like I just discovered: sketchbooks! In the elementary art room! I've never successfully attempted sketchbooks with my students before as I just couldn't figure out how to afford 'em if we bought them and how to make 'em if we didn't buy them. Recently, however, art teacherin' buddy Jane Shores recommended using old manilla folders with paper stapled inside and I was like, ahhhhh, I think we can do that! I'm thrilled to say that my students love the result and have enjoyed working in them. I made a wee video to walk you through the sketchbook-making/how we're gonna use 'em steps. I hope you can focus on my video and not so much on the fact that I missed a button on my sweater! Geesh. To make our sketchbooks, we used the following: * Recycled manilla folders. The central office in my district was kind enough to send me a mountain of the ones they were going to otherwise recycle! * 20 sheets of copy paper per folder. * Dollar Store faux-duct tape. Works just as great for half the cost. * Baseball card sleeves. For holding our Artist Trading Cards, thank you SO MUCH for the idea, Nic Hahn! * Electric stapler. I picked one up off Amazon. Works like a dream going through the folder, papers and sleeve. On the first day of sketchbook making, I gave the kids the folders and told them they could paint their folder either all warm or all cool colors. They could paint fast and furious or delicate and detailed but they had to have it done in 30 minutes. The following art class, when they came to art, I had already stapled the 20 sheets of paper and the baseball card sleeve into the folders. We were ready to start sketching! For that we met in the "Jungle Lounge" in the art room (more details on this and my painted window to come). Once the sketchbooks and pencils were passed out, I did a palming activity with the children (video clip below). While their eyes were closed I played my rainstick and told them to imagine a rainstorm in a jungle. What are the animals doing? Is the wind blowing? Is the weather getting worse? When they opened their eyes, they were allowed to sketch at their seats or on the floor but they were not allowed to talk. Palming is a great way to chill those kiddos out and help them refocus! Worked like a dream for this sketching activity! While they sketched, I called them up to add the duct tape of their choosing to the spine of the book and to create a label. This really was a special moment for them as it really made their sketchbook their own. I was able to catch a glimpse of their sketches as they came to see me. I was floored by their great drawings. Most of these third grade students sketched without stopping for a good 45 minutes. I did ask them to take a break with me on the floor when I was finished with the taping. We chatted about our experience sketching so far (consensus: they LOVED it!) and how it would look during a normal art class. I plan to use this as an art class starter for the first 5-10 minutes of most art classes...I'll keep you posted. At this point, I told the kids about Artist Trading Cards. These are baseball-sized works of art created by artists of all ages. I told the kids that their ATC cards were going to be kept in those baseball sleeves. I have a sign in my room that lists the Topic and the Media for the ATC cards. This week, it was "Tigers" and "Colored Pencils and Sharpies" (yes, we're on a tiger-kick. Lesson details to come!) So, those finished with their sketches, were allowed to start their ATC's. The great thing about those sleeves is it's the perfect spot to keep unfinished ATC's! "In my jungle, a mysterious animals is afraid of the rain and is hiding". ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Love! The kids absolutely loved their sketchbooks and I'm thrilled! I'll definitely keep y'all updated on their progress...but I gotta know: Do you use sketchbooks in your art room? How? Any tips or tricks? Please share in the comments, friends!

Claire and I have been finding these down the path to the ravine across from our house. She likes to clip the sprays and take them home to put in water. I finally figured out the name of this little wildflower. It's an aster, from ancient Greek meaning "star". The butterflies love these, and I have to admit I'm rather partial to the periwinkle blue/purple color too! Done with watercolor pencil. I'm enjoying doing these botanical illustrations, and having an actual specimen in front of me is so different from drawing and painting from photo references, which is what I do most of the time for paintings (if I need a reference). It's an exercise to my brain to match not just what colors will work for a composition, but what I see in front of me.
