Abominable Snowman Transformation

School Spirit Art Club brainstormed on what they wanted the winter display to look like this year. They decided on the Abominable Snowman and his cave. The students broke off into groups and got to work on making their vision come to life!

Monster displays!

All of Evans School have been hard at work creating a variety of Monsters! They popped up just in time for the book fair and Halloween! Our amazing PTA turned the library into a Monster Frenzy along with the help of the art club! All of the other classes jumped on board and made monster art to help decorate the rest of the school!

Back to School Fun!

Starting my second year in my art room was a lot of fun! I was able to really focus on how to arrange the room for the best use of space and to make moving around the room as easy as possible! As you art teachers out there know, figuring out how to organize all those supplies is half the battle.

Here are some pictures of my room all ready for the first day! My room does not have much wall space but it has a ton of storage space (believe me I am not complaining!) So all of my visuals are on bulletin board paper and hanging on the front of the cabinets.

Here I have our Class guidelines "Ways to be A Great Artists" These aren't necessarily our rules but ways we want to act in order to have a great art class and of course make great art! Next to that is our Noise Meter- This I really hope to make a point of using a little more this year! I found this on Pinterest once upon a time and love the idea! Each level of noise is associated with a painting. 0 Being the Mona Lisa and 5 being the Scream. The kids seem to really catch onto this! To the right I have some informative boards for the students. Below are the elements of art and principles of design displays. I just redid them this summer and like how to word demonstrates the element and principle.

This is the students main board! At the end of each class, everyone waits with big anticipation to see if they get their "Clip up" for the day. Each clothespin has the class names on them- If they have a great art class... It gets clipped up a crayon. The clips can also stay where they are or move down depending on behavior. When a class gets to 10, they get to choose their own art project! This is so much fun for all of us! They come up with the best ideas and these projects usually end up being my favorite of the year! We have done anything from airplanes to splatter paint to group sculptures.

Our Masterpieces

It's the first week of school and I was already starting to accumulate a pile of beautiful drawings from the students. I started to think of what I could do with all of these drawings that would allow others to appreciate them aside from just me. I decided to find a special place to showcase these drawings. I got to work that day on a huge Picture frame. I hung it in the hallway and it reached from the floor to the ceiling and hung the few pictures I had so far on it. My idea is for the students to be able to bring in and hang up their own artwork in the picture frame and fill it in until it forms one huge Masterpiece created by the students of School No. 2

I will keep you updated as the frame starts to get filled up- I am looking forward to it!

BackDrops, Murals & Bulletin Boards

For Various School Concerts, Assemblies, or Holidays the Art Teacher is called upon to beautify the Space. Although it is time consuming, it is one of my favorite things to do!

Below, we are making a Backdrop for the Winter Concert. We also made Giant Sparkly Snowflakes to hang up on the stage.

Black History Month Displays

Walls without artwork are always so sad to me so I try to fill up every empty wall I can find in the school! Here is a paper mural done for our Black History Month Concert. It really brightens up the dull Cafeteria!
