Popular Bulletin Boards


Did you know that Art teachers have other school jobs besides just teaching art? 
One of my responsibilities is the display areas in the main hallway on my campus. I have this huge board outside my classroom door that is usually my first display of the school year. 
Last year our District theme was "Be Bold Be Bright"... so I added the Art part. 

This summer I added our Statues of Liberty.
(but forgot to take a picture of it on the board)


Below are some of my favorites from years past.
 You might wonder why I would spend this 100 degree Saturday in Texas writing a blog post.
 (Yes, it's the first 100 degree day this summer)
anyway.....
I was motivated when I discovered last night that the I am an Artist board was 
listed on BuzzFeed this week! Nothing like a little attention to make my day. 


This Kandinsky displayed 1st grade lesson is my most popular post,
and displayed on the same wall space that has brought 
a lot of traffic to this blog.

Here are a few more on the same space from years past. 


Another version.....

The first version.....


Fall......


Spring.....


In addition to this board the other side of the hallway has these wonderful painted frames to display art work inside with sticky tack. 


There is another set of display cases along with this one to showcase 3D art work. 


I loved this one from October and November 2013.

I always have my student teacher's showcase the lesson they write and teach too.
 Here was this year's Super Hero display assembles by my super student teacher. 



Needless to say,
 I love being an advocate for the Art program as well as my students. 
I proudly display their work all year long.

    Beautiful displays! I have a very large bulletin board in my K-2 school that's in the main hallway that I rotate displays on. I always start out with a welcome board until we have work to dislpay and end with a have a great summer board that stays up through summer. Throughout the school year it is filled with student art work! :)

Kandinsky Trees

My first graders really need help with their fine motor skills this year. After completing a very successful Kandinsky Concentric Circle painting lesson noted below, I followed up this past week with a tree inspired lesson. Once again, I found my inspiration from  Jen Draw the Line At  and I used her lesson suggestions for this very successful lesson. My student's used Crayola Metallic crayons instead of the Crayola Construction paper crayons and we used juice lids for some bigger circles in the stamping part of the lesson.  Day 1 On day two constructed the trees and circle leaves. I passed out a 12 x 4 inch piece of black paper and had two different sizes of  square paper for the circles. Yes, this was a challenge since we did not use pencil, but we drew with our scissors. Day 2 I will definite repeat lesson for next year! I will be displaying these soon.  Displayed artwork is posted  HERE ...

Monet's Pond

The Dallas Museum of Art  has a wonderful   Monet Painting  in a beautiful gold frame which inspired me to create this lesson for our Big Art Day which is fast approaching in Texas schools.  For our Big Art day this year I have a Theme....Circle Art!  Themes are the way to go when organizing events.  I love this new lesson that was inspired by one of my favorite artists,  and two favorite bloggers:  Painted Paper and Cassie Stephen's who also use themes.  I ordered the 10 inch cardboard circle rounds for this lesson, the same size  Cassie used in her Dot Day Art .  School Specialty has various sizes. The kids loved painting on this canvas instead of paper.  We read about Monet's garden and look at prints of his masterpieces. I even show them some of my pictures that I took when I   visited his garden in France.   On day one, we painted the pond and the water ...

Clay and Weaving!

I'm brave, I tried a new lesson again.... I can say as we are completing these clay frames that you have to follow some basic rules or you will have broken frames. We have had only 3, but I did make extras.  My 4th graders tackled this lesson with stoneware clay, and finished them with oil pastels, one color of watercolor paint and I painted modge podge on them when dry.   The texture is the key part of the coloring process! I have rollers and rubber texture mats.  At least pencil think and more than 2 fingers in width.  You need some lid tracers and a pin tool. Don't try to cookie cutter it.  I strongly recommend 15 or 19 holes punched with a straw. You must have an odd number!! If they go hole craze, pop out the clay from the straw and plug the holes.  I found the directions for weaving the warp threads here on Cassie Stephen's blog.   I am also doing her plate weaving at the same time with...
