So this was a lesson that I came up with just the other day as a way for my fourth graders to 1. have a quickie lesson after working FOREVER on their snow globes ...which look amazing, by the way! Check it out: (these just need their bases!) and 2. Use the practice papers they created before painting their snow globes. You see, before making the background of their globe, they had to do three painting sketches: The kids asked me several times what the plan was for their sketches and I was like, I dunno, planets?! The other day, I thought marbles would be more fun...and a shorter lesson. A friend over on IG (thank you Mrs. Cook! Y'all give her a follow!) suggested the artist Glennray Tutor as an artist inspiration...and that's how the lesson came to be. Here it is, if you are interested: I was SO EXCITED to do this lesson today with my kids that I actually got to work EARLY (which never ever happens) to prepare. The minute I walked in the door, they'd cancelled school for snow. C'est la vie. I did stay and get a bunch of stuff accomplished. Including editing my I Can board! If you are interested, the kindergarten lesson can be found here, first grade weaving lesson is here, second grade LOVE lesson is here, third grade is getting ready to create these guys and you already know what fourth is up to! I hope y'all enjoy this lesson...and I'm really hoping my kiddos do. I'll keep you posted!

The Great Pumpkin Contest has some very creative pumpkins on display. If you haven't been to Bradley this week to see all the pumpkins, no worries!! I will be posting pictures on next weeks blog. Pictures will include group pumpkin pictures and individual pumpkin winner pictures (pictures of just the pumpkins, not students). We have 50+ pumpkins on display! It is going to be very hard to select the winners! 1st graders have been learning about the past, present, and future in their homeroom classes... so I decided to have students draw what they wanted to be when they get older (future self portrait). Each first grader drew his or herself in the future doing their "dream job". We have teachers, art teachers, dancers, singers, stay at home moms, police officers, fire fighters, McDonald workers, Dollar Store employees, princesses, scientist,... the list goes on! A Flower Shop Worker... A Dancer and Cox Farm Employee Fish Market, Singer, and Art Teacher (My favorite) 2nd graders are learning a new art techniques this week called "Masking". Stay tuned for more details and pictures of this project that should be completed early next week. 3rd graders finished their 1 point perspective art this week. Students created some very creative aquariums with some very interesting creatures. This lesson took us about 4 weeks - lots of hard work went into these amazing art pieces! 4th graders completed their Vincent Van Gogh inspired sunflowers this week. We viewed and discussed 3 of Van Gogh's Sunflower paintings and added a fun twist to this project by making it pop-up art. The checkered background makes the flowers "pop" even more. 5th graders did an amazing job on their Amedeo Modigliani inspired self portraits. Modigliani is know for his elongated face (people) paintings. 5th graders had fun making their faces and necks look elongated. Students first sketched their self portraits and then colored them using oil pastels. These have a awesome cartoon appearance!

One of my favorite types of photography is doing still life photos. I love it because I can set it up in my home and can create photos any time I want. I live in a townhouse and space is limited.

From the beginning of my art career I specialized in still life imagery. Soon, I was illustrating a lot of fruit. Therefore, I not only considered my niche to be one of being a food illustrator, so…

It took me a long time to admit that photography is part of my job. UGH! I’m a decorator, a blogger, a writer–but every step of the way it was the photos that helped communicate my message. In a visual business with an online presence, photography makes or breaks you. Often, photos are the deciding factor when it comes to someone actually stopping and reading what you have to say. We start the story with the photos and finish the story with our words–if we are lucky enough to get people to stick around long enough actually read our words. You really cannot overestimate the power of a great photo. Is photography part of your message? If you have a blog, a shop, a product, a service, a book, a belief, a public Instagram account where you hope to reach followers beyond your personal friends and family–pretty much if you have ANYTHING you hope to share on any medium where photos are included, then photography is part of your message too. One of the types of photos that has high visual impact but also takes the most amount of skill to master is the still life photo– a styled photo […]
Last week I wrote a post that said I had stopped psychotherapy for bipolar disorder. But I am still bipolar. (And for those of you who object to that phrasing, see below.*) Because my bipolar disor…

There is a time and place for doing more than what is asked of you in order to get ahead. But it’s also so vital to give ourselves permission to simply show up as is.
