An elementary art teacher blog with art projects and lessons, DIY projects and outfit photos as well as clothing I have made myself.

Colourful collage elephant inspired by the book Elmer by David Mckee.

Hello my dear friends :) Today it's gonna be a little special. Why ? I am gonna talk as usual about projects, videos etc but... I will also talk about you guys, yes YOU ! But before that... let me just share with you the yummy textures created in All about Texture video :) I had to capture those textured cards before I turn them into coloured art pages! Only now, when I look at them all together I see why you enjoyed this video so much. I do feel inspired already only by looking at them :) Finally I had a chance to make some individual photos :) I also added some titles for better explanation. It's like a library of the texture ideas :) In one video we created 20 different textures, I showed you all from start to finish. We used product packaging, recycled cardboard that everyone has at home. Those looks like big, fat tags :) At the end of the video I quickly finished one of the textured backgrunds and created this piece! After watching several of my videos wheter they were about texture or starting a page... you have shared a huge amount of projects with me! I would love to share those with you today. Take time and look at them closely! Stunning pieces! Thank you dear friends for watching my videos, for taking time to create and for sharing your makes on my Facebook and my Instagram. I am so grateful for each and everyone of you and so very proud! You shared plenty projects on Instagram... when you use #maremismallart not only me but others are able to see your art too ! If you missed the video all about 'TEXTURE', here it is :) Textures, all in one! I am in looooove :) I knew you were waiting for another episode of 'TEXTURE' series so I made a NEW video where I finished 2 packing cards! For those who didn't see it, please feel free to watch it :) Again, you have made my day by sharing your attempts, stunning creative works where some of you just started the mixed media journey for the first time, some were stuck with no inspiration and some of you just felt like creating. It is my biggest pleasure and reward to see your makes, to see your trials and to walk next to YOU in your creative path. Look at this collage of stunning projects inspired by my videos, I am absolutely stunned and proud! From the bottom of my heart... THANK YOU! You have given me so much love and support that I am not even sure how to thank for. You found courage to make a piece, then you were strong enough to share it with us on Maremi's Facebook, I am proud and HAPPY! Lastly I wish to share my latest recycled cards... I adore the texture and how different those are. To all You Artists! I hope you found this post inspirational and most importantly it will encourage you to START, to open up and use your stash, to look for your creativity... with all Maremi's Friends you can try, you can start and break the blank page, experiment and ENJOY !

Arte in maschera Voglio proporvi una maschera dall'ispirazione e dai colori vivaci, la cui realizzazione, ne sono certa, entusiasmerà tutti: piccini e

This pattern is available in German, English (description below) and French BESCHREIBUNG Der MARTA V-Neck Jumper wird von oben nach unten in einem Stück mittels Zunahmen an der Schulterpasse und Maschenaufnahmen aus den Strickteilen gestrickt. Der Schnitt ist sehr weit, kurz und kastig mit tiefem V-Ausschnitt und halblangen Ärmeln. Der luftig leichte Schlupfpulli kann mit 2 verschiedenen Saum- und Ärmelabschlüssen gearbeitet werden (I-Cord oder 2 x 2 Bündchen). Zunächst werden die Maschen für die rechte und linke Blende gestrickt und anschließend Maschen aus der Längsseite beider Blenden aufgenommen. Anschließend werden entlang der Schulterpasse Maschen zugenommen und gleichzeitig verkürzte Reihen für die Formung des hinteren Halsausschnittes gearbeitet. Nachdem alle Zunahmen entlang der Schulterpasse gearbeitet wurden, werden zunächst das linke und rechte Vorderteil und dann das Rückenteil bis zu den Armausschnitten gestrickt und anschließend wieder gemeinsam zur Runde geschlossen. Der Jumper erhält seitlich und hinten eine Mehrlänge durch verkürzte Reihen. Für die Ärmel werden Maschen aus dem Armausschnitt aufgenommen und in Runden gestrickt. Die weite „Summeredition“ Version des MARTA Jumpers mit dem tiefen V-Ausschnitt kann wunderbar über schmale Sommerkleider oder zu Trägertops mit taillierten Röcken oder Jeans kombiniert werden. Die Anleitung enthält eine ausführliche Modellskizze mit allen Maßangaben, eine blanko Skizze für Notizen oder Umrechnungen, sowie eine technische Zeichnung für die verkürzten Reihen am hinteren Halsausschnitt.

The jumper has got a short, boxy fit with a lot of positive ease. It features a deep V-neck and medium length sleeves. There are two options for finishing the body and the sleeves on this loose-fitting summer sweater (I-cord or 2 x 2 ribbing). You will start by knitting the right and left back neck band and then continue by picking up stitches along both parts. You will then increase stitches along the shoulders while at the same time working short rows to form the back neck. For simplification, the neck band and shortened rows can be omitted. Once all increases have been worked, you will first finish each front and the back individually up to the underarms where you will join them to finish the jumper in the round. Due to the short rows the jumper is longer in the back and at the sides than in the front. The stitches for the sleeves are picked up around the armhole and the sleeves are then knit in the round. With its deep V-neck and the large amount of positive ease this “summer edition“ of the MARTA Jumper is perfect for pairing with tight fitting summer dresses or styling it over sleeveless tops with skirts or jeans. The pattern comes with detailed schematics that include all relevant measurements, a blank version for your notes and calculations and a technical drawing explaining the short rows in the back.

Wassily Kandinsky Nació en Rusia en 1866 (Pincha sobre la imagen para descargar el mapa mudo) Fue pintor y profesor de arte Kandinsky, cuando pintaba daba prioridad a la paleta de color frente a los formas que podía representar con sus pinturas, Mientras trabajaba en sus cuadros le gustaba escuchar música clásica. Particularmente escuchaba a Wagner. Como su amigo Piet Mondrian, al principio aprendió a pintar cosas. En un primer momento pintó paisajes ....... ....... pero luego comenzó a juntar líneas, puntos, formas, colores y sus cuadros, aunque no se sabía muy bien lo que era alegraban la vista.
