back from winter break with more bouncy energy than I expected (I was hoping
they had used it up over break, but that was wishful thinking). Still, I love
teaching and I love the kids, and so I persevere. Thanks for reading, and we
will be back again soon with more colorful creations!</span><o:p></o:p></span></p><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p>Freckle Facehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10855677059038563827noreply@blogger.com17tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1507756334783775424.post-37967911867667939542023-12-21T05:59:00.000-08:002023-12-21T05:59:47.614-08:00'Twas the Night Before Christmas (Break)<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Yo Yo Yo, it’s Sarah Claus, rappin’ and wrappin’ my way

month. Paint flowed. Thousands of tiny pieces of paper swirled through the air
in a faux snowstorm. There was the unfortunate pink glitter incident, which
adorned not only ornaments but the table and floor, as well. (The glitter
incident was my own fault, since I gave it to a student who asked, instead of
feigning ignorance). Yes, it’s been a colorful month…. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

movies they like. As always, there were strong opinions. Favorites included <i>Elf,
Home Alone, Home Alone 2, Rudolph, Frostie the Snowman </i>and<i> Christmas
Chronicles</i>. There was some spirited debate about whether <i>Die Hard</i>
qualified as a Christmas film. It takes place in December, but is it truly a
Christmas movie? It was an art room divided.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">On that note, I’ll excuse myself to go check on our Elf (<i>not</i>)
on the shelf. Our elf is hanging upside down and has amazing strength. Whether
you’re celebrating Christmas or Hannukah or the winter solstice, have a safe
and cozy season. If you need this Sarah Claus, she will be juggling madly until
Christmas day, and then collapsing somewhere for a long winter’s nap… <o:p></o:p></span></p>

themed around Thanksgiving. So, to round things out, I’m including a few of my
own recent paintings. I painted a lot this year, which felt great. Almost all
my paintings were small, and therefore easier to finish. I love 1950s and 1960s
design, and it was fun to paint items from that era.</span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

Capitol Records building in Los Angeles (built in 1965) and the neon sign from
Jimmy Wong’s Golden Dragon in San Diego (1958). You know a sign is beautiful
when the restaurant changes names and still keeps the sign with the former
name.<o:p></o:p></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2pkr0renh2t-osWeiMilT6GyBDprgMnbcY-afVnpyuNIQ714YFSOveppykk38hGYi3qwZ5-g6VNtDXrWFDporn7XyVIHCGjx-1f3C2Th13iTJuYvbrPisuNWzFA0YdJ4FvOg1VJThY7w85yRNshAx2b4f4ZzlxuKDCOFNmx29kPkkgynnDdftOEKfAyRB/s2756/Nov.%202023%20(19).HEIC" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2756" data-original-width="1986" height="589" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2pkr0renh2t-osWeiMilT6GyBDprgMnbcY-afVnpyuNIQ714YFSOveppykk38hGYi3qwZ5-g6VNtDXrWFDporn7XyVIHCGjx-1f3C2Th13iTJuYvbrPisuNWzFA0YdJ4FvOg1VJThY7w85yRNshAx2b4f4ZzlxuKDCOFNmx29kPkkgynnDdftOEKfAyRB/w425-h589/Nov.%202023%20(19).HEIC" width="425" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjvfjusv3qSA_0tfjT3z_z-R1EkvfpWG2wuAJ8AFGPJ3xLVaFtQmZeF84Zmw0KHvCZxqzIqVOFh9Eisruk9pXZmpJqk_j13o7nX6EXyd0FteqlIUdDZrODOiYIPPQ1uLEFEfuUWYcCdVUcXkf2iWmhpHt0FKo8PKXmG4MJLXdM9LaRgFeY-NKPuy14cYFK/s752/Nov.%202023%20(177).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="752" height="497" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjvfjusv3qSA_0tfjT3z_z-R1EkvfpWG2wuAJ8AFGPJ3xLVaFtQmZeF84Zmw0KHvCZxqzIqVOFh9Eisruk9pXZmpJqk_j13o7nX6EXyd0FteqlIUdDZrODOiYIPPQ1uLEFEfuUWYcCdVUcXkf2iWmhpHt0FKo8PKXmG4MJLXdM9LaRgFeY-NKPuy14cYFK/w499-h497/Nov.%202023%20(177).JPG" width="499" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><div><br /></div><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2069" data-original-width="2066" height="492" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQj6EyWJenZFvgMbb89zw9z9AUY4MwZuEzLJQO2DCcpEzWCYtL9xJe-H_kY-E2FegCkzH-lMNOQlk2yHo1u4otWjLyM5zEjg6kY4jtvYFrh-v8rRmE1eLOswZx_zRZT79bTAHAu2PHjEj5y7__F5Wp9DO-oN9f2UGhAxr9DP3n-MFC70nr0tANqZUVVYzs/w492-h492/2023%20Capitol%20Records%20Building%20by%20Sarah%20Conley.jpg" width="492" /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3SwHLPr5H9yKkJilwAEafbrUd_8bIbL6dKchieE8PhAHdksJIuGGnaWpPwv-9JjujDAmzi5PcgzfOFUPE1Bvv4ErXNLPUqQDiPOaYvyZxwFqI99QX4_YMmIIZBgnFHp7XaEnPYoprTxOwa1OhbKWdYZWuYMmyxbfJxeBbYRgHzGWRBi_doXVGCHBcgdhm/s774/Nov.%202023%20(95).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="750" data-original-width="774" height="443" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3SwHLPr5H9yKkJilwAEafbrUd_8bIbL6dKchieE8PhAHdksJIuGGnaWpPwv-9JjujDAmzi5PcgzfOFUPE1Bvv4ErXNLPUqQDiPOaYvyZxwFqI99QX4_YMmIIZBgnFHp7XaEnPYoprTxOwa1OhbKWdYZWuYMmyxbfJxeBbYRgHzGWRBi_doXVGCHBcgdhm/w458-h443/Nov.%202023%20(95).JPG" width="458" /></a></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Okay, back to the topic at hand.

there is a “we” in Halloween. It’s a storm of collaboration, from the neighbors
decorating their yards, to the fun of opening the door to kids in costume. It’s
all about what <b>we</b> can do together to make this season fun. In that spirit, my students

They cut out the bodies
and used the leftover paper to make strips of “bandages.” I encouraged them to
rip rather than cut their paper so that the bandages have a ragged edge, which is
much spookier. Some kids added extra touches like blood (and one mummy somehow
lost its head, but my impish student said the mummy would hold his own skull as
an accessory). What’s always fascinating to me is how differently the kids
interpret the assignment. One kid gave the mummy a “relaxed fit” bandage wrap.
Others gave their mummies a disintegrating bandage look. Varied and scaried—oh,
I mean “scary.”<o:p></o:p></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbxR5e1lBV5yxzm1BcV9krkT_Rbyj_YGqIABo2T5mfShBzpiYT-pH5-9dOnYb5f5ecTSmupn1eaq-jhdG2RGnXHIQLzd38_f5bfFtyYKSsFEXJRMSPBYBP4_A97IuNG1snF55-4iKBvW2CkXuDfj3ikhmLnpsAMzdfHguWEfi5Qybv0X2zN0XW0Qijh2rk/s938/Oct.%202023%205th%20gr%20mummy%20(10).PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="938" data-original-width="740" height="522" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbxR5e1lBV5yxzm1BcV9krkT_Rbyj_YGqIABo2T5mfShBzpiYT-pH5-9dOnYb5f5ecTSmupn1eaq-jhdG2RGnXHIQLzd38_f5bfFtyYKSsFEXJRMSPBYBP4_A97IuNG1snF55-4iKBvW2CkXuDfj3ikhmLnpsAMzdfHguWEfi5Qybv0X2zN0XW0Qijh2rk/w411-h522/Oct.%202023%205th%20gr%20mummy%20(10).PNG" width="411" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG4GPbkrW2dF9gjk1lj4HmS8zseCbXjT0nbXo4QJSqm8sQgSQ7lnCbnrMnhXdWbNB8aci1JNLivbAHIi2dLXXfCtImf5mPIMYKdxCT0z81L-xJuxsGEmAlFlPv_-XZBahzsTvyLyVPIN7w2nBJ3Obskbi0lhyXhyAHvJNSLJTgS91Gp18zAWx1J35jnczk/s753/Oct.%202023%205th%20gr%20Halloween%20mummies%20(7).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="753" data-original-width="564" height="548" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG4GPbkrW2dF9gjk1lj4HmS8zseCbXjT0nbXo4QJSqm8sQgSQ7lnCbnrMnhXdWbNB8aci1JNLivbAHIi2dLXXfCtImf5mPIMYKdxCT0z81L-xJuxsGEmAlFlPv_-XZBahzsTvyLyVPIN7w2nBJ3Obskbi0lhyXhyAHvJNSLJTgS91Gp18zAWx1J35jnczk/w411-h548/Oct.%202023%205th%20gr%20Halloween%20mummies%20(7).JPG" width="411" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTwxDTyIDKrrkhQAnqBm2S18DUt6E490AQkQy7ij-fgSWUF2Yvy9R-y0SoEOvj8iW2RxsD3xGklhItD6WTE-zFtKQAhtbFAmXB-puCW8Nyb___FqLVUw3CXKQkEJcO_CjPQA1wGrMDsJ-hxULGaQTRU77MhckobLoJTVqsjInXCFwZhLIf3JVPphP_n9HJ/s851/Oct.%202023%205th%20gr%20Halloween%20mummies%20(5).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="851" data-original-width="594" height="550" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTwxDTyIDKrrkhQAnqBm2S18DUt6E490AQkQy7ij-fgSWUF2Yvy9R-y0SoEOvj8iW2RxsD3xGklhItD6WTE-zFtKQAhtbFAmXB-puCW8Nyb___FqLVUw3CXKQkEJcO_CjPQA1wGrMDsJ-hxULGaQTRU77MhckobLoJTVqsjInXCFwZhLIf3JVPphP_n9HJ/w383-h550/Oct.%202023%205th%20gr%20Halloween%20mummies%20(5).JPG" width="383" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9bJZYX0YthFeTTY_OlI7Lve-ufXYbKfo1rU5HCps2FK06edsPM89tFaj_8j2NaXQBODw36e-L9lbdIWEbLsFr4f7Jsf4TZebAwX19TNhraYULMdYDKEX0jksMiK-x7uk4SFUjqQJ6Ix5-BvwmhFzlXlcAxgnVCRI2Uuhl0PwiKka-qn-T7oYshwV4rNak/s730/Oct.%202023%205th%20gr%20mummies%20(3).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="730" data-original-width="518" height="571" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9bJZYX0YthFeTTY_OlI7Lve-ufXYbKfo1rU5HCps2FK06edsPM89tFaj_8j2NaXQBODw36e-L9lbdIWEbLsFr4f7Jsf4TZebAwX19TNhraYULMdYDKEX0jksMiK-x7uk4SFUjqQJ6Ix5-BvwmhFzlXlcAxgnVCRI2Uuhl0PwiKka-qn-T7oYshwV4rNak/w405-h571/Oct.%202023%205th%20gr%20mummies%20(3).JPG" width="405" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Fun fact about mummies: since there was no Joann’s Craft
Store back then, you could not go buy fabric for wrapping. You used what you
had. Sometimes strips of old clothing were used. It is hard to imagine, but the
family gathered approximately 4,000 square feet of material for the wrapping. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal">

cardstock. I designed this after pop-up cards, with the pumpkins sitting vertically. Each is different, and many have an

house scenes. I came up with this idea because I remembered as a child, cutting
out shapes from the back of cereal boxes, which you could fold into something
fun. Folding cardstock into a shape is delightful, yet folding laundry is
somehow less exciting. (One of the universal truths of adulthood.) I love how
varied these turned out. One crafty teen even drew details on the inside of his
haunted house, which is a delightful touch.

“Friendly Monsters.” I’m calling them friendly because the kids are little and
I don’t want them to be scared. (Side note: some of them asked if they could

can view. It is Harpers Topiary Garden in Mission Hills. It belongs to a couple
who have hand-cut more than fifty sculptures in their front yard. You cannot
walk among the sculptures because it’s private property and on a steep hill,
but you can see the sculptures from below. It is worth a stop if you are in the
area. What a delightful gift to share with their community.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p>

incredible! I can’t believe how talented some of these teens are. I encouraged
them to use lots of shades of green to give each shape a three-dimensional
look. We used photos for reference, as we often do, and I love what the kids
made.<o:p></o:p></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6VyH1l_XJWI9sMT0ZjT6_qf5vx9_Xsm1l6m0H50OXLk-cNezWjQ1er3dDJxzPy9J0oT4DWrQnShIXe1Bpg69vDO_DQoCMnzaGk1nzELXZ0N4lbJtAwJHwi8pKcKwiTggixDr1UKbfcKv-7Tp6P-m70XfT_2NbMpDm0W-vnEpgTrtZo01Q9H2Qs6hLeI_Q/s957/2023%20Topiary%20art%208th%20gr%20(7).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

the clouds looking like animals or shapes. This idea came to me when we had
dramatic clouds here last month, and I saw shapes in them. The art turned out
great, but painting with eleven-year-olds is mayhem. How did I forget? Paint
everywhere—on the tables, on the chairs, on the walls. A lake instead of a floor. So,
we will stick to drawing for a while.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhL8kElWwLrdXodeSlRcBWoOL8o8Ly-GhBzvBZMT5UQkO8LOCSRbiW8_waciEJRceF21XBzrTbBtB94oDqFDxKa72bzSj_CetOdQZ8WMi3q_Qz0R7bvX2XLroQ5b8EHWuEZ72AkVzBHCn_0-aLR0Xfw8zPzPzWUBnBtJ65-1ViMSFpxB_Bp_BoLtJTeqHw1/s637/2023%20cloud%20shapes%20by%206th%20gr%20(1).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

It’s officially summer and I’ve been in
recuperation mode after the school year. Teaching is awesome but super tiring. For
a few weeks after school closed, I honestly felt like I had staggered through one of those 100-mile
ultramarathons--with an elephant strapped onto my back and no water to drink. In
record temperatures. For nine months. </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">So, despite my intentions to post this in June, it did not

concept to my younger students as being similar to a puzzle, in which all the
pieces fit exactly into their neighbors. </span></p></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Here are some samples of my Kindergarten class’ cat

everyone. My art was included in the fair years ago, twice. But for many years afterward, it was not accepted. That was hard on my ego, but it makes it even sweeter to
be included this year. This feels like a good reminder to keep doing what you
love. Sometimes your efforts will be recognized, and sometimes they won’t be,
but you will know how much you’ve grown. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">I have one more art post to do before the summer is in full
swing, so look out for another post soon.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Until then, be sweet like a lollipop, and colorful like a
ladybug. Be a team player like a bee and soar like a butterfly! </span><o:p></o:p></p><div><br /></div>Freckle Facehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10855677059038563827noreply@blogger.com20tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1507756334783775424.post-16596716509142738642023-04-08T17:07:00.004-07:002023-04-09T16:51:48.125-07:00Which came First--the Basket or the Egg?<p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Today’s post is a mini post full of Easter art made by my
students. I’m not including art from all of my classes because some are working
on other projects. But I decided to post while Easter is upon us, rather than
at the end of April, when people are on to new topics. I will do a longer post
in May. Until then, enjoy these cheerful eggs, and Happy Spring!</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">My Kindergarteners made Easter egg drawings, and the kids produced
some colorful results. Look closely and you will see chickie beaks poking out
of each egg. I can almost smell the vinegar dye bath from my egg-dying youth…<o:p></o:p></span></p><p>

too. To be honest, I cobbled together this assignment only minutes before they
arrived in my classroom. Why? On the day when I’d planned to have sixth grade
paint, I barely had survived the First Grade Painting Flood, and I didn’t think
my frazzled nerves could handle two painting fiascos. So I pivoted and came up
with a less messy project. We have lots of interesting paper and I announced
that we were using a collage technique to decorate giant Easter eggs. The kids
layered tie dye paper, colorful cardstock, origami paper and weaving paper to
create unique eggs.

let’s just say that I had the optimistic idea to paint with the first graders.
I reasoned to myself, “What could go wrong?” An hour later, wading through

font-size: medium;">The only pitfall this month was my stapler injury. (If you
don’t know, I’m very accident prone.) We’ve had faulty staplers over the years,
and so I never assume they work. A student needed the stapler and I managed to
impale my thumb when testing it. I did bleed a little and I found a Band-Aid
(we art teachers/moms tend to keep lots of Band-Aids in our purses). Staplers
should come with warning labels for the accident prone. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Well, that wraps things up for me for March. It’s been a
really full month, and this teacher is more than ready for Spring break in a
week or so. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Happy Spring, and I’ll see you next week with some adorable
Easter art. <o:p></o:p></span></p><br />Freckle Facehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10855677059038563827noreply@blogger.com15tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1507756334783775424.post-91593209907948842782023-02-23T16:58:00.004-08:002023-02-23T17:02:19.122-08:00The Elephant in the Room<p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Welcome back to another episode of Adventures in the Art

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">February may be short, but my students made a ton of art
this month.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">My Kindergarten students have two projects to share:
Valentine art and Painted Elephants.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Let’s start with Valentines. We did a dot-to-dot art
project, showcasing hearts. Some kids were a little confused about the numbers,
and some sailed right through. But that’s okay—and that is the beauty of
Kindergarten. Kids go at their own pace, but six months from now, they all will
be ready for first grade.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-CWkjZfF37VFhM0vzEgaOIABVUG5c25S8656hOgwdX7aPSU37Tq93fOCZU9ARO7uu5d6YsHNG3vSQ9X664scNBqetct1ypNz9pumpka6PMSo1rORZjWVY8lX6Yo94qyTJ7FQsfqj3w6pGvpcMYZFYZfgVI3dxcJd_UeVUBKdhfg4-BvpWoy0lcwbrEA/s2720/Feb.%202023%20(2)%20Valentine%20art%20by%20Kindergarten.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2064" data-original-width="2720" height="353" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-CWkjZfF37VFhM0vzEgaOIABVUG5c25S8656hOgwdX7aPSU37Tq93fOCZU9ARO7uu5d6YsHNG3vSQ9X664scNBqetct1ypNz9pumpka6PMSo1rORZjWVY8lX6Yo94qyTJ7FQsfqj3w6pGvpcMYZFYZfgVI3dxcJd_UeVUBKdhfg4-BvpWoy0lcwbrEA/w465-h353/Feb.%202023%20(2)%20Valentine%20art%20by%20Kindergarten.JPG" width="465" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvAUslIJeTwtx2cu9aAs8fj4xzUTZ2XvPJT4MlZE4ue3v7OEJHypVc_htHBQJ0MssFXV_y19SUChxz9xLc0JB6XuN-OZpOpXbI0xugOKrdg99JBSh7dnTdkLKCfeqZjvsTqFbmMc8ztsgKprLSZnVe8-qbJMt9GBXrRuKPW9WHEOnzn9xLJ9iUaajLWA/s2743/Feb.%202023%20(3)%20Valentine%20art%20by%20Kindergarten.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2054" data-original-width="2743" height="362" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvAUslIJeTwtx2cu9aAs8fj4xzUTZ2XvPJT4MlZE4ue3v7OEJHypVc_htHBQJ0MssFXV_y19SUChxz9xLc0JB6XuN-OZpOpXbI0xugOKrdg99JBSh7dnTdkLKCfeqZjvsTqFbmMc8ztsgKprLSZnVe8-qbJMt9GBXrRuKPW9WHEOnzn9xLJ9iUaajLWA/w483-h362/Feb.%202023%20(3)%20Valentine%20art%20by%20Kindergarten.JPG" width="483" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYG_g-lR4XmoV09dyMq9iiBapZLSIrvYtiXuUNfSWqdARYcNwWD4zoiWOCoOcBGz7moAc-ITDOdCvPEdTLowM3anw_WljacrX5CI3xVI5tN8gN-4Czf8baBW1xPj4vHvymGloAB_vmLvrc9jRIxhn7fBasRzgXypCwTpFGCl62uuh132VAMyY9UhDxPQ/s2862/Feb.%202023%20(4)%20Valentine%20art%20by%20Kindergarten.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2017" data-original-width="2862" height="338" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYG_g-lR4XmoV09dyMq9iiBapZLSIrvYtiXuUNfSWqdARYcNwWD4zoiWOCoOcBGz7moAc-ITDOdCvPEdTLowM3anw_WljacrX5CI3xVI5tN8gN-4Czf8baBW1xPj4vHvymGloAB_vmLvrc9jRIxhn7fBasRzgXypCwTpFGCl62uuh132VAMyY9UhDxPQ/w479-h338/Feb.%202023%20(4)%20Valentine%20art%20by%20Kindergarten.JPG" width="479" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Kindergarten also worked on some elephant art. If you are
not familiar, the Parade of the Elephants happens in India each March.
Elephants are painted, bejeweled, and decorated, and we created our own ode to
the decorated elephant in San Diego. I drew the elephant shapes, but the kids

pieces using corrugated cardboard. If you have peeled open a piece of
cardboard, you will find that the inside has a layer with alternating high and
low points. This makes it corrugated, and I wanted the kids to experiment with
this texture. I love how many different ideas came out of this assignment. I
encouraged the kids to add several layers, for a 3-D effect.</p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhA4-F1Uq2td2MQz4qSWuG0v5RPqbnxYMuIq_95HbdwhS6EdIOChWoSv_-3EQM2DQWu0BeX8mQAt5O7SKw8Tevx2av7dhMPiJfsWvDuhkKa6I63xG6Rq4tmamP3dXkRza3XR94MY3HVxHoVcR6K3GWcAC-guVI0Edg5tAHDLqZiPKTZvg_GbiiTrmyNVg/s744/Jan.%202023%20grade%208%20corrugated%20cardboard%20art%20(5)%20.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

It flew by, for me. Rumor has it,
spring is on the way. If you live in Southern California, you may have noticed
early signs—buds on trees, and tulip tips popping out of the earth.<p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Before I sign off, I will share a few paintings that I have
been working on in the last few months. Most are small (6 x 6 inches or 8 x 8
inches). It feels good to finish a painting and the small ones are faster to
finish. I love painting buildings and cityscapes but sometimes I paint a still life,
like this candy cane and Ball jar from December. I have wanted to paint a Ball

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">I teach art at a Kinder-eighth private school. We always do
Christmas art and this year I have a specific theme. Each class illustrated a
different part of the song “Twelve Days of Christmas.” We took a few shortcuts
in that some classes colored in coloring sheets rather than making original
art. But hey, that’s still creative…<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">We are starting with the eleventh verse, followed by the
twelfth, which might be unconventional, but we had too much cute art to only do
one verse. I’m not making you sit through all twelve verses—you’re busy!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

grade art led me to an epiphany: doing a messy art project with nine-year-olds
is…not relaxing. I thought it would be manageable to paint fall leaves with
them, because I reasoned, “What could go wrong? These will look great. Painting
is fun. Plus, there are only 39 kids. Well, 36, since three are absent.” Fast
forward a few minutes and I realized that this was going to be a challenging
hour. There was more water on the ground than in the Sea World splash zone. But
somehow we got through it and when the tables were dry--much later--we had some
beautiful fall leaves for our Thanksgiving cards. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaa0zhWRYOGWLnqr6K_cvZL8pLSKXjn3yjLazKA6R7TYhdatMjSBDLpKIGqROswzlyMKPmNeP-yek2X4Om9VeTPkgW2e-3-U36fBnu8Vzbw3JOkHA6SpNKpEveCwqXkBXIW8oHCqlX-H0VKL2Hy_d2lmH8y0Xn32gpTsVxOwfIGryUl6ydD0IBedcYkQ/s3751/Nov.%202022%204th%20gr%20fall%20leaf%20Thanksgiving%20cards%20(7).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

lessons, and they had wildly differing ideas about how fast a turkey can run. <o:p></o:p></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Believe it or not, a turkey can run up to 25 miles per hour.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Fun fact: turkeys sleep in trees!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Did you know that if a turkey feels strong emotion, its head
can change color? Their heads range in color from red to blue to white.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Sixth and eighth <span style="text-align: center;">grades didn’t have art before Thanksgiving, due to
parent-teacher conferences, but rest assured you will see some spirited art
from them next month.</span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Seventh grade colored and folded paper to create cheerful
fall leaves, which we attached to cards they could give to family or friends. Usually,
I design my own projects but I found this one online by Ju Lee. It’s fun and
beautiful and hey, sometimes we need the occasional short cut by using a
project someone else designed. I think it’s a bit like another Thanksgiving shortcut.
You could get up at three in the morning on Thanksgiving to make stuffing from
scratch, or you could wake up at a reasonable hour and make Stove Top. Bottom
line, everyone is fed. And the art still looks great.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Art Room.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">As you rightly suspected, the summer raced by with lightning
speed.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">And so here we are, facing another fall—and I use the term
lightly. It’s still quite warm but the retailers are putting pumpkin spice
stuff everywhere, so apparently it’s fall.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">How’s it going, you ask? My first day back teaching involved
my losing my voice, at least partially. It seems that over the summer I got out
of practice with my Loud Voice. And so another school year has begun. There are
the kids who still wear a sweater even when it’s ninety degrees. There are the
ones who think art time is break dancing practice. There were erasers thrown on
day one. But all in all, it was a creative day and I got some sweet kiddo hugs
and some banter with the teens. There are more kids than ever but I’m indestructible.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">So what have my students worked on this month? I thought
you’d never ask.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Kindergarden: these sweet kiddos did frog art. I gave them
blank coloring pages I drew, and they filled them in with marker. We discussed

using paper plates as our templates. Two funny moments happened during first
grade art class. A couple of girls returned from the bathroom to tell me there
were ghosts appearing and disappearing. I raised an eyebrow. Ghosts? Hmmm…A few
minutes later, we discussed sharing of art supplies, and I told them they can
say, “Can I borrow your supplies, Mrs. Sarah?” One kiddo immediately chimed in
with, “<i>May</i> I borrow them?” Touche. Mateo will be in charge of noting all
manners transgressions on my part. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh39dTm3IH8YAEpyo6CMWMgQjgrgVVBSxZdRmjNF3fHsLPbKU9UjRxVqMAEMSiQOdI3NAu3qeohHyOzhst8hCke4HAasHxehhFdWPtQuOD4zdj7f6j-CGjfh_1nOQGHgmuAB7TQ3s2CGdamqeI6zq9TADgjuRQasNiIN0rDpfLli_f_JylSh67w_IxPOQ/s3860/Sept.%202022%201st%20grade%20frogs%20(2).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="3860" height="358" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh39dTm3IH8YAEpyo6CMWMgQjgrgVVBSxZdRmjNF3fHsLPbKU9UjRxVqMAEMSiQOdI3NAu3qeohHyOzhst8hCke4HAasHxehhFdWPtQuOD4zdj7f6j-CGjfh_1nOQGHgmuAB7TQ3s2CGdamqeI6zq9TADgjuRQasNiIN0rDpfLli_f_JylSh67w_IxPOQ/w456-h358/Sept.%202022%201st%20grade%20frogs%20(2).JPG" width="456" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJZ-BH8n3VE2KGs-JTI8PiXn7czp2b7YiZMjpsnL4Fh23vSUUSt8Z4migPNVCLn4abkxlNGp_ztL89mjv93duXDQczOwVD9aWeMUJEbcEOXCX7ETc-Zc0HwBrJ39Xzh1UfvCQzkTOlUj3ngSb1aHhhPfeUIKdJB0uYhHIRHW7i8kEHo8ImEWBGQ-v3rw/s3166/Sept.%202022%201st%20grade%20frogs%20(1).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3166" data-original-width="2611" height="509" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJZ-BH8n3VE2KGs-JTI8PiXn7czp2b7YiZMjpsnL4Fh23vSUUSt8Z4migPNVCLn4abkxlNGp_ztL89mjv93duXDQczOwVD9aWeMUJEbcEOXCX7ETc-Zc0HwBrJ39Xzh1UfvCQzkTOlUj3ngSb1aHhhPfeUIKdJB0uYhHIRHW7i8kEHo8ImEWBGQ-v3rw/w420-h509/Sept.%202022%201st%20grade%20frogs%20(1).JPG" width="420" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Second grade: there are about a million of them and they
have the energy of Olympic gymnasts and the speed of hummingbirds. Good thing
I’m indestructible. (But check with me in April.) Second grade began work on a
project I’ve been contemplating for a few years: koi fish. Koi seemed like a
great subject because their splotchy skin makes for good artistic inspiration.
The kids enjoyed starting the project and I always like seeing what they
create. <o:p></o:p></span></p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYNtSLcNEBq6C8qdnRDXP8sZ3ZA5PMWoqb_Ag2U98MLUXWPGR8UeeRU5lTQzdyh0jReLiPvYn-KzRxdrZ93wt9CKChVZ4d2XzJ2W_qMpczx2gBcfkefDOnE0T0Rnr78aJDB-aWPWcMOJ4AMEOzJe4FQxG2w3L4_ztjddVcFohUHMT6uM5obo7O0MmrDw/s4032/Sept.%202022%202nd%20grade%20koi%20(5).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="573" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhYNtSLcNEBq6C8qdnRDXP8sZ3ZA5PMWoqb_Ag2U98MLUXWPGR8UeeRU5lTQzdyh0jReLiPvYn-KzRxdrZ93wt9CKChVZ4d2XzJ2W_qMpczx2gBcfkefDOnE0T0Rnr78aJDB-aWPWcMOJ4AMEOzJe4FQxG2w3L4_ztjddVcFohUHMT6uM5obo7O0MmrDw/w430-h573/Sept.%202022%202nd%20grade%20koi%20(5).JPG" width="430" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0oCYTP1EswM6fv5GVK906f6LszAAQ1Phe-gBNIIyztDB7SpfjuHq1rADFsG02wL25aFevcg1LR08s0kpPkR9fOZiOLIJRkYqstydbfp7iGv6JQPXrfC4LYEebbkKATvTsbz92DO3xZ-7kg20hgSLGs3QZM27D1Qotqguwl_DwLE0Sa_PbuviZqxAecw/s4032/Sept.%202022%202nd%20grade%20koi%20(3).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="560" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0oCYTP1EswM6fv5GVK906f6LszAAQ1Phe-gBNIIyztDB7SpfjuHq1rADFsG02wL25aFevcg1LR08s0kpPkR9fOZiOLIJRkYqstydbfp7iGv6JQPXrfC4LYEebbkKATvTsbz92DO3xZ-7kg20hgSLGs3QZM27D1Qotqguwl_DwLE0Sa_PbuviZqxAecw/w420-h560/Sept.%202022%202nd%20grade%20koi%20(3).JPG" width="420" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB_IH2zA4-WXWck5EZxaP_MTu9qHfZQdufKaYZUuR7AYFoF5Fy26yY04AbExWFwcc8kSLs-e1dTLuZAqtrzalRLimp13y3MqBzzzufQI8mA9rAOWSoi5zZKOw7ZNzPX-TfRQgX-miG7mwSIQVoseTOD5luZfMG4HAOtt9CsTCFaQ3jyNIKAs3QzN9Gbw/s4032/Sept.%202022%202nd%20grade%20koi%20(2).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="549" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhB_IH2zA4-WXWck5EZxaP_MTu9qHfZQdufKaYZUuR7AYFoF5Fy26yY04AbExWFwcc8kSLs-e1dTLuZAqtrzalRLimp13y3MqBzzzufQI8mA9rAOWSoi5zZKOw7ZNzPX-TfRQgX-miG7mwSIQVoseTOD5luZfMG4HAOtt9CsTCFaQ3jyNIKAs3QzN9Gbw/w412-h549/Sept.%202022%202nd%20grade%20koi%20(2).JPG" width="412" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrfY_wCXIzrhHzIdR1LEno8PTnj8YEkD4h_Nc1KgD1nrztSIdv2f8oxfH-LcPKvEE5imRs0MuDaSOej4eS1Ijvsf49SQC9tBLV7ffq3Dp4OKtkau1wVx6mU8YhX9W8yjjxLOJhMPuabGQntUxT_5lKqm1KFknaYMSh5r0OXi5yl_xETXc3JYpXE9ybtg/s4032/Sept.%202022%202nd%20grade%20koi%20(1).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="548" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrfY_wCXIzrhHzIdR1LEno8PTnj8YEkD4h_Nc1KgD1nrztSIdv2f8oxfH-LcPKvEE5imRs0MuDaSOej4eS1Ijvsf49SQC9tBLV7ffq3Dp4OKtkau1wVx6mU8YhX9W8yjjxLOJhMPuabGQntUxT_5lKqm1KFknaYMSh5r0OXi5yl_xETXc3JYpXE9ybtg/w411-h548/Sept.%202022%202nd%20grade%20koi%20(1).JPG" width="411" /></span></a></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Third grade also made koi fish.

font-size: large;">That wraps up our first month back at school. I joke about
how exuberant these kids are, and there are times when it is exhausting, but I
really do feel lucky to teach kids and to see how their imaginations work. This
reminds me of my first blog post after I began teaching, six years ago. I
wasn’t even sure I’d make it through the first semester back then—teaching felt
almost impossible! But now I know to expect a mix of challenges and happy
surprises So if there is anyone out there, facing a new challenge, doubting
your own ability—be patient with yourself. It takes time to adjust to something
new. We are so much stronger than we give ourselves credit for. Just look at
me—I’m a little older, and a little creakier, but I’m doing something
meaningful, and those crazy kids make me laugh. So far their energy hasn’t
crushed me. I’m indestructible! <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><o:p></o:p></p><br />Freckle Facehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10855677059038563827noreply@blogger.com14tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1507756334783775424.post-84954957114681047162022-06-28T15:13:00.003-07:002022-06-28T15:20:13.563-07:00The Art Teacher has Left the Building...<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg24KDh_0mBz2j2wHo3Olb1u8Uf_qEPkTdq1yvQYNX1ikHV-RSE9WLLeXe8XztdJHbMHv90cy23hSP3AuWHaW3VsTcDd9N1w7jC1oW_wd6nz02HU6zJCPTegI1Kb6FYsvv4irEX2S9gf5kS-4gFotXOM_PeFtcuq_wcPmdUSTylpkuZtvwl1Ua47A6cDg/s750/May%202022%20(273).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="749" data-original-width="750" height="407" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg24KDh_0mBz2j2wHo3Olb1u8Uf_qEPkTdq1yvQYNX1ikHV-RSE9WLLeXe8XztdJHbMHv90cy23hSP3AuWHaW3VsTcDd9N1w7jC1oW_wd6nz02HU6zJCPTegI1Kb6FYsvv4irEX2S9gf5kS-4gFotXOM_PeFtcuq_wcPmdUSTylpkuZtvwl1Ua47A6cDg/w407-h407/May%202022%20(273).JPG" width="407" /></span></a></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">The art teacher is tired.

blog post. There was simply too much to do and not enough bandwidth for a blog
post.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">But I’m back with a look at some colorful creations made by
my students before we closed up shop for the year.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p>
</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Side note: how do you know you are an art teacher? You clean
out your purse (weighing in at a million pounds) and find two glue sticks, two
pencil sharpeners, one hot glue stick and eleven Sharpies. Yes, eleven,
including one blue and one red, in case you wondered. I have to hide the
Sharpies because the kids destroy them.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">But back to art. Here are some of the things my students
made this spring:<o:p></o:p></span></p><p></p><p>
</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">With my Kindergarten students, I had them color in a rubber
duckie. They cut out their ducks, and then glued them to blue paper, adding small
turquoise pieces of paper in the background. This ticked several boxes,
including 1) learning collage techniques, 2) mimicking texture in the water and
3) practicing cutting and gluing. And who doesn’t love a rubber duckie? Did you
know that rubber ducks were first invented in the late 1800s? They age well.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSrn-DcjMHyW8MSL7eEBSaztisZAfx9XCBlK9o_CKelS5PEaEE4dBW_tLkhWVDMaHEKe0Cyw6wJIlyP6Tlskl7YpZIq8dQaSvVeZwwDHWGc1aGMnhBNOx_86zTCyVwU2qJg6Mpt1LRdJD3bJbwTb_flznn9etAcfJoODaQ5nkuEXsOkCDtbno8EuBBfQ/s958/Rubber%20Duckie%20art%202022%20kindergarten%20(2).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="958" data-original-width="750" height="621" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSrn-DcjMHyW8MSL7eEBSaztisZAfx9XCBlK9o_CKelS5PEaEE4dBW_tLkhWVDMaHEKe0Cyw6wJIlyP6Tlskl7YpZIq8dQaSvVeZwwDHWGc1aGMnhBNOx_86zTCyVwU2qJg6Mpt1LRdJD3bJbwTb_flznn9etAcfJoODaQ5nkuEXsOkCDtbno8EuBBfQ/w487-h621/Rubber%20Duckie%20art%202022%20kindergarten%20(2).JPG" width="487" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjtuq8cRnV713vgtwr2IXyAb_vGA86KM-1I2fWxQYQBU6OJoyfvBm2oOArOlAdVBQcizSna8LgzPjK-gdcmGln-p-f2D70C553GeolU9cn_Geo0Ihyi363DbENpKr5Ev1RWRi0TqGXVit8bf_dZkDdYBJ-IzCgJOI4fyT3EtNnM467RB7l10NyhA83GA/s1180/Rubber%20Duckie%20art%202022%20kindergarten%20(3).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1180" data-original-width="750" height="719" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjtuq8cRnV713vgtwr2IXyAb_vGA86KM-1I2fWxQYQBU6OJoyfvBm2oOArOlAdVBQcizSna8LgzPjK-gdcmGln-p-f2D70C553GeolU9cn_Geo0Ihyi363DbENpKr5Ev1RWRi0TqGXVit8bf_dZkDdYBJ-IzCgJOI4fyT3EtNnM467RB7l10NyhA83GA/w456-h719/Rubber%20Duckie%20art%202022%20kindergarten%20(3).JPG" width="456" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br />My first grade class colored pineapples toward the end of
the year. I’ll be honest: this was not a project I thought long and hard
over—it was a “throw it in at the last minute” kind of project, as it was almost
the end of the year and I did not want to deal with paint or glue! But I think
they turned out super cute. I encouraged the kids to use naturalistic colors. I
recommended that they try adding a tiny bit of brown to the yellow body of the
pineapple. We wanted details! Some turned their pineapples into cartoon
characters (perfectly fine) and one rebel turned his into an orange and blue
jester (also fine—got to give the kid credit for imagination!). Cute, and it
set the tone to welcome in summer.</span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoIPrc5Z6U0PZ6Eyfn3Ap1AbXal3geqyhZgP44rx7jOtgPtyHOcZVZQi811Pjsaa5DM6Zt-z0Q4q8y_x3VrgmS5ZWI3q9Ab23nq13DKApblOA7SXNT6vtDsRtjlRjtK8FXD4gbrMdkSVEgLxy90Qxuhj_LF6VWO4rK91yjF6CnlyNXx0RTmJU4vKio-w/s717/Pineapple%20art%202022%201st%20gr%20(1).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="587" data-original-width="717" height="371" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoIPrc5Z6U0PZ6Eyfn3Ap1AbXal3geqyhZgP44rx7jOtgPtyHOcZVZQi811Pjsaa5DM6Zt-z0Q4q8y_x3VrgmS5ZWI3q9Ab23nq13DKApblOA7SXNT6vtDsRtjlRjtK8FXD4gbrMdkSVEgLxy90Qxuhj_LF6VWO4rK91yjF6CnlyNXx0RTmJU4vKio-w/w453-h371/Pineapple%20art%202022%201st%20gr%20(1).JPG" width="453" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbt-QyI1gKtmNFtj4vWbKIdId0gGthqm46rj0IWBdLGKhxp0FegFh2E5VJ77hu586B90fKfRcaNGBCMDZP32zTlJuq1tR8kAIo1wsTdvX3EiwqMqVvc3dgLIwrjNyHD4pmdGmKQ-2xnNQZxrRnQc2z8NiRNbupd970R8o39UwBiLYfEeQVrds8TXSY8g/s1263/Pineapple%20art%202022%201st%20gr%20(2).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1263" data-original-width="750" height="743" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbt-QyI1gKtmNFtj4vWbKIdId0gGthqm46rj0IWBdLGKhxp0FegFh2E5VJ77hu586B90fKfRcaNGBCMDZP32zTlJuq1tR8kAIo1wsTdvX3EiwqMqVvc3dgLIwrjNyHD4pmdGmKQ-2xnNQZxrRnQc2z8NiRNbupd970R8o39UwBiLYfEeQVrds8TXSY8g/w441-h743/Pineapple%20art%202022%201st%20gr%20(2).JPG" width="441" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjngWY9wB6NF8c1Y7hapE-ZUkUGbCrnyKO-xRxUYUcLofurWJRVdnEe_qg3b2ghfESqA73H4Lp3ndR5FqJi0r25wmhUvlg028nB9Mwvt2R8XE-6ywnRx98mCfQqXN950SDVHB9ZDmcSDe79Pd964CraYU_Ci8t-41LTbutqsbAKUT1CyDK9Pqhxaii7Gg/s1197/Pineapple%20art%202022%20first%20grade%20(4).PNG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1197" data-original-width="729" height="655" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjngWY9wB6NF8c1Y7hapE-ZUkUGbCrnyKO-xRxUYUcLofurWJRVdnEe_qg3b2ghfESqA73H4Lp3ndR5FqJi0r25wmhUvlg028nB9Mwvt2R8XE-6ywnRx98mCfQqXN950SDVHB9ZDmcSDe79Pd964CraYU_Ci8t-41LTbutqsbAKUT1CyDK9Pqhxaii7Gg/w399-h655/Pineapple%20art%202022%20first%20grade%20(4).PNG" width="399" /></span></a></div></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Second grade did a fun project that I invented called Peace Sign Hands.
I got my inspiration from a peace sign hand sticker on someone's rear car window. I thought it would be interesting
to see how different kids decorated their peace sign. We needed pattern and
color, and the kids delivered. Several grades worked on this project, and in some
classes we added in the “okay” sign with hands, or a fist bump. In some grades
we added traced hand shapes behind our peace sign hand, just to give our art
some more dimension. I love how these turned out.<o:p></o:p></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYXcTegApw8HJzp5hxawGEuCva0pjkfZhbbZMBTvcP72-Gr3_bYVuraDgd2s-xSo_OESM4d00aV1p0cBQhNeK75iUlgubfszGdsiDcO8CSvKmkONN8kREoJxTOjx6WZMTuQIKzhXaX82AHgNiZjYN522irG9wyFSVKLZhyLqqXQtNrQcviEUGidd6ftw/s4032/Peace%20sign%20hands%202nd%20gr%20(2).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="617" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYXcTegApw8HJzp5hxawGEuCva0pjkfZhbbZMBTvcP72-Gr3_bYVuraDgd2s-xSo_OESM4d00aV1p0cBQhNeK75iUlgubfszGdsiDcO8CSvKmkONN8kREoJxTOjx6WZMTuQIKzhXaX82AHgNiZjYN522irG9wyFSVKLZhyLqqXQtNrQcviEUGidd6ftw/w463-h617/Peace%20sign%20hands%202nd%20gr%20(2).JPG" width="463" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKlnX9z8XXkZx2_lIlMozUiyOvii4jjE9L0pQmSAb01UqDpGkhQTNYB8P6C7WSFewr6JNUlBD9fR4oEwN-a8d-NC0In9cEJCkJxaWGpQ_o-SmEDKC0LL4OxK3P56NSg50k1BJapzoLtL4B_ITnqBQc6wLL7lpm5rtDj1GxzLZ-IDUiQjxv36W6o-lECA/s3873/Peace%20sign%20hands%202nd%20gr%20(1).jpg.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3873" data-original-width="2948" height="589" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKlnX9z8XXkZx2_lIlMozUiyOvii4jjE9L0pQmSAb01UqDpGkhQTNYB8P6C7WSFewr6JNUlBD9fR4oEwN-a8d-NC0In9cEJCkJxaWGpQ_o-SmEDKC0LL4OxK3P56NSg50k1BJapzoLtL4B_ITnqBQc6wLL7lpm5rtDj1GxzLZ-IDUiQjxv36W6o-lECA/w449-h589/Peace%20sign%20hands%202nd%20gr%20(1).jpg.JPG" width="449" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge-IHOkkldHGHiopL_5x6PQul9eUi6-OcZy_P_yhFxs_NZy4s8YCpjPyxAroO4u_hIag6yije626_M-_U9NiU0tUTbndYuoAsAbiyP2YMu_skDeXR3mafpOm52qXIr3eWRm6xqYhN1YKzQcLl_mdwhG3LRnLF7hVEhapko89nLewdLJnq1ku1dLmma8w/s3312/Peace%20sign%20hands%202nd%20gr%20(1).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3312" data-original-width="2906" height="582" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge-IHOkkldHGHiopL_5x6PQul9eUi6-OcZy_P_yhFxs_NZy4s8YCpjPyxAroO4u_hIag6yije626_M-_U9NiU0tUTbndYuoAsAbiyP2YMu_skDeXR3mafpOm52qXIr3eWRm6xqYhN1YKzQcLl_mdwhG3LRnLF7hVEhapko89nLewdLJnq1ku1dLmma8w/w511-h582/Peace%20sign%20hands%202nd%20gr%20(1).JPG" width="511" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">My imaginative third graders had a lot of fun doing Peace

last month. They made peace sign hand art, and they created name art using a product
called Scratch Art. If you are not familiar, scratch art paper looks like a
glossy black paper—until you scratch the surface with a popsicle stick,
revealing color underneath. Some kids got multicolored scratch paper and some
got gold or silver scratch paper. I asked them to scratch patterns in each letter
of their name, and I absolutely love how these turned out.<o:p></o:p></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2vgJ4A5ar7EMpdfoJimUmPBStZxATlAz2sx0pjLWoXQT9bhZtw0as1SkWm5EFKmUNaC63OCNe1P147WtiSg7sPHJC0Cai5hpHcwSArHOvF3ocSN51p15_sfnZbsnye5DZzqYtApi_66566ZkTg8BUxkKYeUEGljYIpAkbaKHU-W0IR1MgT1h0qUom_A/s2920/Peace%20Sign%20hands%202022%205th%20gr%20(9).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

challenging, colorful year in Mrs. Sarah’s art room. If you need me, I will be tackling tasks I’ve put off during the school year (or ignoring them), possibly
napping, hanging with my kids, and dreaming up more fun art projects for next
year.

Heavens it’s April. As a gardener, I love spring, but also as a teacher, I’m
eyeing the last day of school. At this point in the school year, the teachers
are worn out and the kids are jumpier than ever. A rough combination. But we’ve
made it through this busy month without the wheels coming off (entirely) and
I’m back to show some awesome art made by my wiggly, loud, bold, creative,
eraser-throwing, growing-before-my-eyes students. I teach at a private school,
so spring involves Easter art. Some has a religious feel and some of the art is
simply cute. I told the kids about my brief but memorable stint as a mall
Easter Bunny in the late 90s. There were mixed reviews on whether mall bunnies are terrific or terrifying...</span></p><p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">My Kindergarten students made Easter chickies that have a stand behind them so they can be vertical table décor.

They are not
Easter baskets—the timing was just a coincidence--but now that I think about
it, this does fit with my basket theme this month. In a way, these shallow
bowls are nests, not for housing real baby chicks, but anything the kids want
to put in them. Some bowls are shallow, and some appear deeper. This depended
on how the kids wove their yarn (tightly versus loosely) but all of them are
wonderful. Except for a few weird moments with yarn (knots, tangles, and a pile
of yellow yarn cut into small pieces resembling macaroni), this project turned
out well.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD_TtmGWmsr0E50Ocyy0Mmo0pUL18y9166pFEbNmlaTf7UeWt0FIeQL1Wymy5drI_nh7jqEQybcX5vc5MJ8laJocfu77BQgK7aotu4k25zGyOjdHpc4BuffTqvU-Iviwp9bL3cUlcVwxNSd9Xj3rK7t6TlrzRBRn7u7J7JiD5C0e5ckp-dODdNam_xwQ/s4032/April%202022%207th%20grade%20yarn%20woven%20baskets%20(190).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

March means
Mardi Gras, shamrocks…and I think some kind of basketball tournament. Well, my
version of March Madness involves putting the “art” in M-ART-ch—and my creative
students rose to the task.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">In other springtime news, have you noticed black and orange caterpillars
scurrying around? At school one day, I saw a spiky black caterpillar,
approximately ten feet outside the art room door. A short while later, I found
the caterpillar inside the art room! This was either a brave or foolish
critter, as there were more than thirty fast kids racing into the room. I’m
glad I spotted it five feet into the room, as we have dark floors and it was
nearly camouflaged. It was put it into a cup and relocated onto a tree. Apparently,
there have been a lot of them around school, and we soon discovered that our
caterpillar had a friend. A first grader told me we should name them Max and
Jax (J-A-X, he spelled out, in case I was considering an alternate spelling).
I’m not sure how we are going to tell Max apart from Jax but maybe we can make
tiny hats in different colors for them, like people do with twins. Problem
solved. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Back to art. My students have been working on lots of
projects, including some for St. Patrick’s Day.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">My youngest class is Kindergarten. I had them color in a
coloring sheet I made (I drew the outlines and they colored in the scene). It
has a St. Patrick’s Day theme, and as you see, the gold pieces in one pot of
gold are happy. I love how the Kindergarteners think!</span><o:p></o:p></p><p>

Their project
involved taking a quarter of a paper plate and turning that into a rainbow.
Paper plates are such a handy art supply. They are inexpensive and
stronger than regular paper. Plus, if you are coloring rainbows, you have the
right shape even before the caps come off the markers. One kiddo decided to
make a full rainbow, ending in two pots of gold. I think he was hoping for a
double dose of luck. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcJKuE7RBODptu0W2K88c4YQFg8g1wmW6hja9zJuv_NXYziyRF2hw5Ciu0-1B4Oq8DlNCd0pe9u2SeK9cHYDUoKhTdp00UAyTqEdTpt3p6WqRXqeambJUU3rBXL9u7ejqDKEeq-x6qGvfaFCtRBTUUmafSb7UxxSFkIpkRE7whsjk6ItVpTcIT8BndxQ/s3276/St.%20Patrick's%20Day%20art%201st%20gr%202022%20(4).JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

it was new to all of us. The kids used oil pastels to make a scene or an
abstract design. I advised them to make the layers of pastel thick and
colorful. We then washed a diluted layer of black paint over each drawing,
waiting a few minutes to let it soak into the paper. Last, we rinsed off each
piece and the effect is wonderful. There are irregular accents of black—it has
the look of batik fabric—and it has an antique look. The colors pop a lot
against the black, and it was a great project to try. The technique is not my
invention—I found it online and adjusted it slightly for these kiddos. It’s
called oil pastel resist art, because the oil pastels resist (do not absorb)
the black paint.<o:p></o:p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZwNUb9PUUwLNlFcgTMhXJK0uQYh3BElk41p9U4BF9inatqcVl8YfgmpbUDv81YzzzBHiMme2zAHwi7OQPvESQPVwc-K4RWiNgFsXLNbqFT2J00B1G5wIcAUfXT5zSOpeEi4mMGOmlPpXXRd7ZkinbxkYSIsWbvA43zBSL7px_a4amQI4Ck7QVbF_w6A/s3024/Oil%20resist%20art%20by%206th%20gr%20(3)%202022.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;

I gave them the privilege of using
air dry clay, which is not something we do often as it is crazy messy and it is
more expensive than other materials, so it is a rare treat. I told them they
could choose their subject matter and that we would paint the clay next time, after
it was dry. A word of caution: if you are teaching teenagers to sculpt clay,
expect the unexpected. One boy raced to the sink to rinse his mouth during
class, and he explained that he licked the clay and it tasted gross. I didn’t
realize I had to tell teenagers not to eat clay, but okay—my bad—I reminded him
it was not edible. Five minutes later the same kid raced to the sink again.
He’d licked clay a second time (perhaps thinking it is an acquired taste?). He still
didn’t like it. Well, third time is the charm, right? No. No more clay licking for
him. Also, another word of caution: if half your students are painting their
dried clay, and half are still sculpting wet clay, you will have a very, very
messy classroom to deal with once they leave. Wet clay and paint and thirty
three teenagers is…also an acquired taste. Mostly kidding. I love those wacky

Room. I’m your host, Sarah. At school, they call me “Mrs. Sarah,” although I
also answer to any other teacher’s name. I know they are talking to me. Isn’t this portrait adorable? One of my second
graders drew this of me earlier this month. (I’ve become a redhead in recent
weeks.) It had been a long day, so this sweet drawing gave me a huge boost. I
love that she drew my name tag (I wear them every week to help the kids)—details
are what make portraits come to life.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjX2_3rs6HBoltsBb-cEWn3ew1kpcemgkVNe2tHdLceHMm6KowukWk2n_6BoXNQymeYSdjiuMdp1tHktCOXkc6youc8m3uYhFSa9uIkXF04Q4GULu5YPM6UTQvTIIj7ujQcSGABl3pPmWVs8v-avPk6qUhRohE4lC-kEGRjx2q6t-XFxpTzXV35Qm6V4g=s3075" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3075" data-original-width="2318" height="624" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjX2_3rs6HBoltsBb-cEWn3ew1kpcemgkVNe2tHdLceHMm6KowukWk2n_6BoXNQymeYSdjiuMdp1tHktCOXkc6youc8m3uYhFSa9uIkXF04Q4GULu5YPM6UTQvTIIj7ujQcSGABl3pPmWVs8v-avPk6qUhRohE4lC-kEGRjx2q6t-XFxpTzXV35Qm6V4g=w470-h624" width="470" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0 0 0 40px; padding: 0px;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">We have had a lot happening in the art room.

We used
collage techniques, layering paper on another piece of paper, practicing our
gluing techniques. (Side note: the kids’ glue use ranges from the Minimalist
School of Glue—one tiny dot for a whole paper—to the More Is More School—an
entire glue stick used on all surfaces, including ones not needing glue. These

Solar paper undergoes a change when it is in sunlight, so the kids put objects
on it and brought it into the sun for two minutes. You get an impression of
your items on the paper. We added colorful borders to complete our project. Who

sticks to make snowflakes with a God’s eye feel. And I assure you that they

we adults are juggling our regular life activities, plus a few extra dozen
things. I feel like I’m going a hundred miles per hour, feathers flying. At
school we have been up to our elbows in seasonal artwork. From our
littlest Kindergarteners to our eighth graders, it’s been a whirlwind of creativity.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">The kindergarteners colored a drawing I photocopied for
them. (This was not the time to test my calm by having five-year-olds create
rivers of sticky Elmers glue, punctuated by feathers and bells and turkeys.

friends to write a few words to complete this sentence: I am thankful for_____.
I said they could color the turkey and the drawing however they wanted, as long

cards to seniors living at a local assisted living facility, and so five of my classes
made the residents Thanksgiving cards. This was not my idea—it was dreamed up

Luckily, they completed their art in time, no doubt inspired by my encouragment to "Finish this now--or else!" </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjcm5xdXJL8jNrszQ31zOtVk9HrX8fCz6hFEaXg808MtSV-IwJjCGHAk6PKJDgqO6o21ONi3stKYjlgC-GKQO8nwf6yXvwa1F4Wx5vk1dcyqOdurSpjALOISOcCmIxxlqbaXwSqxHJBJ4b1qSvSDmxQNVlOrihGTyrhwThiVvtsbrh6xH-y4STQ3GcoLA=s2048" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1587" data-original-width="2048" height="374" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjcm5xdXJL8jNrszQ31zOtVk9HrX8fCz6hFEaXg808MtSV-IwJjCGHAk6PKJDgqO6o21ONi3stKYjlgC-GKQO8nwf6yXvwa1F4Wx5vk1dcyqOdurSpjALOISOcCmIxxlqbaXwSqxHJBJ4b1qSvSDmxQNVlOrihGTyrhwThiVvtsbrh6xH-y4STQ3GcoLA=w483-h374" width="483" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj8UE_-wqG_RqZMpSk40Nyygn4T7AW40aLVyUb3J--u_KT0WNpD1ny9gz_hYwBhj0zKHz0UoJNvq3TxcjP95O4oCpk16rc1glpDGH4ugju9pjDlygzMoNRzr7MX-WHFjgsl2lom7q9_uM_WQyYYGnqyMMAEhwURyrGD1B7hUvjQ8kcDwmPLCGyJwZabcA=s2048" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="380" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj8UE_-wqG_RqZMpSk40Nyygn4T7AW40aLVyUb3J--u_KT0WNpD1ny9gz_hYwBhj0zKHz0UoJNvq3TxcjP95O4oCpk16rc1glpDGH4ugju9pjDlygzMoNRzr7MX-WHFjgsl2lom7q9_uM_WQyYYGnqyMMAEhwURyrGD1B7hUvjQ8kcDwmPLCGyJwZabcA=w507-h380" width="507" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgjcgd6kdrT0yLhErGzlNakzWYD5EX5Jh_6ie8vM8ldjcxbIo5QgjuS_LvZ9zTOnGXRXQobtPmIvLuEG53WEORCKuLHEJWMB1gfKexEfLiJFf6PEokJ-ZJPJr1jHmcPuYG6A8A68ejjbZ3AjiEZlWlQpVeCwwFk6yAHwTgT9qE1ClZXWVwTL39jfo-6zA=s2048" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1616" data-original-width="2048" height="390" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgjcgd6kdrT0yLhErGzlNakzWYD5EX5Jh_6ie8vM8ldjcxbIo5QgjuS_LvZ9zTOnGXRXQobtPmIvLuEG53WEORCKuLHEJWMB1gfKexEfLiJFf6PEokJ-ZJPJr1jHmcPuYG6A8A68ejjbZ3AjiEZlWlQpVeCwwFk6yAHwTgT9qE1ClZXWVwTL39jfo-6zA=w494-h390" width="494" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjNwgrNKsl2qvhjO8o27OxV1XTN0abzyMJyopZ10RWGMQ3nIVqVKJLsb0nUAknXMzkFgKExHDoC2gj_1B1qNV4iojB5oGh0B_9Ahl8WLDAG_qpBXu1SKRa8QL0x9Uew_Iaewg4jgmQ-vW1yAyjcdADiBNfXC0vtvloTYufLkQ7Wr-tVryroyQcVxTCfJg=s2048" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1587" data-original-width="2048" height="380" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjNwgrNKsl2qvhjO8o27OxV1XTN0abzyMJyopZ10RWGMQ3nIVqVKJLsb0nUAknXMzkFgKExHDoC2gj_1B1qNV4iojB5oGh0B_9Ahl8WLDAG_qpBXu1SKRa8QL0x9Uew_Iaewg4jgmQ-vW1yAyjcdADiBNfXC0vtvloTYufLkQ7Wr-tVryroyQcVxTCfJg=w490-h380" width="490" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjEgnPWy8H5IkBFOHVXGzNu_W3sB2-6bZMD1yzzgIlHoxePwH6ooypNLodupL-84zyO9vX4x4ORLAi9HNK9fdcZtijejM2Zs7oEvlumEWFI9qbb5Qk9Nm3v0BCt0kxd9JTxFapPxpD1YIRC-R9bvQVxPOaLI587h1HpMQeUuUbm62tEGFcNrNsptg0bdA=s2048" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1578" data-original-width="2048" height="375" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjEgnPWy8H5IkBFOHVXGzNu_W3sB2-6bZMD1yzzgIlHoxePwH6ooypNLodupL-84zyO9vX4x4ORLAi9HNK9fdcZtijejM2Zs7oEvlumEWFI9qbb5Qk9Nm3v0BCt0kxd9JTxFapPxpD1YIRC-R9bvQVxPOaLI587h1HpMQeUuUbm62tEGFcNrNsptg0bdA=w486-h375" width="486" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Fifth grade made haunted house scenes, adding visual texture to their skies, and I love the effect. This is similar to third
grade’s scenes, but with skies done in marker. After the paint water flood caused by
third grade, I suddenly recalled how very messy it is to paint with kids and I
felt the universe telling me to have fifth grade color their skies with
markers. (Alternate title for this post: <i>I

something more sculptural, and I like how the houses look. They folded, glued,
cut, and added extra touches to create these scenes. One seventh grader started
putting glue onto the wall, but that didn’t qualify as an “extra touch” in my
book.

Technically, the skunk was not in any bunks. But the skunk smell wafted
throughout several rooms of the house, including bedrooms, so I’m justifying
the title of this post that way. Also, it’s my blog and I can name posts what I
want! (PS: I’ve earned it after the skunk drama.)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">We adopted Bella almost three years ago from a rescue
organization. She came already named (a new name chosen by the organization). I
wanted to name her something funny like “Spike” or “Jaws” but I didn’t want to
give her a third name to learn, so Bella remained her name. But I digress.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">In our nearly three years together we have not had a skunk
situation. We live a few blocks from canyons, so maybe we should count our
lucky stars that she hasn’t been sprayed before now. But all that changed in an
instant. Around seven pm I let Bella out for her nightly run around the
backyard. Suddenly, she’s racing back toward me and I instantly smell that unmistakable
stench of skunk. She’s rubbing her face against the ground again and again, and
I realize she’s been sprayed in the face and is trying to rub away the pain. I
call for help from my middle kiddo, technically the owner of the dog, and
Google “Skunk spray to a dog’s face.” The article recommends putting a wet
cloth to the dog’s face or eyes. Right. Have you met this dog? She doesn’t do
anything I want her to, so my comical attempts to wet her face are met with
racing in circles, running outside (toward the skunk?!), and general
disobedience. It’s like negotiating with a two-year-old. Not possible.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">We decide to spray Bella down outside with the garden hose,
mindful to steer clear of the gigantic spider spinning a web nearby (the one I
almost walked into a few days ago. It’s at face level, naturally). Bella loves
the hose, so this helps not only with getting the skunk oil out of her eyes but
hopefully off her fur, too. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">I take a one minute break to text my nextdoor neighbors for
advice, since their dog recently was sprayed by a skunk. Wonderful neighbors
they are, they deliver skunk shampoo within a few minutes.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">We move our party from the yard to the bathroom. We start
giving her a sponge bath, being careful not to get the shampoo in her eyes,
which are already red and irritated. She is happily bribed to be washed since
there are two cooked hamburgers in a plastic bag on the edge of the sink. The
burgers were already on the sink, if you must know. That’s where I always keep
hamburgers. Don’t you? Okay, truthfully they were in the fridge but I was happy
that I had them cooked and ready to go—because when you are having a SSS (skunk
stench situation) you don’t pause to cook burgers. At least I don’t.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">As we were cleaning the dog, and laughing about this strange
turn of events, it occurred to me that a combination hamburger stand/dog wash
station has untapped potential. No one has capitalized on this yet. (If someone
reading this ends up building one, I insist on being paid at least twenty
dollars for the idea.) “Skunk ‘n' Grub” could be its name. Although, it doesn’t
have to be only about skunk spray emergencies—it could be just for routine dog
washes. Maybe “Suds ‘n' Grub.” If you’re vegetarian you could go to its sister
franchise, “Suds ‘n' Spuds,” for delicious fries made from happy potatoes, grown
in organic soil under majestic blue Idaho skies. $14.99 buys your dog a
wash/dry and you all the tasty fries you can eat. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p>
</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Anyway, we washed the dog and her eyes seemed a lot better.
Bella shook the water from her coat several times during our rinse down, so now
I don’t need to take the bath I’d planned. In related news, our bathroom floor
looks a lot shinier than it was yesterday. And Bella’s coat is also shinier
than it was yesterday. We used the blow drier on her a little bit, and brushed
her fur while it dried. For her spa treatments, she lay regally on several towels, pleased to have not
one but two humans doting on her. (<i>As it
should be</i>, I could hear her thinking.) <o:p></o:p></span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh184v3a8quQ60wBb03LXgWdXTV93GpS_9eygKCNYOo0PwFKVb9adweIHy8INBDX80fojbhHn7V_lBWxYYrMOdJJ0fesKDbFFBKx7sx0swcz9fq0rdMbbactGtq5fjFkRJ3foDLVb1hMnt--e6uvH_QxtbUwVeT16UNZoJdV6oc9jDlsMqzKtTkzVUwlQ=s1280" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="1280" height="436" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh184v3a8quQ60wBb03LXgWdXTV93GpS_9eygKCNYOo0PwFKVb9adweIHy8INBDX80fojbhHn7V_lBWxYYrMOdJJ0fesKDbFFBKx7sx0swcz9fq0rdMbbactGtq5fjFkRJ3foDLVb1hMnt--e6uvH_QxtbUwVeT16UNZoJdV6oc9jDlsMqzKtTkzVUwlQ=w502-h436" width="502" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /><br /><br /></span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhH364BqtVVyls_pwigsdjNRU13j7r88pkodnN27rJnyp6-2fAlnFw_KRH4OpMqRGOTFdcH8FUYO-6lg6Fa1ZXDscW2Gif1xKEDux5WIIUt_8C_mPbUymIAhAecSR6NEsCbf-SkDWKEKnl-99sFrDpnZ3230XG1UBTSepXN_rntgZHDaVR9VxtMKHS5tA=s1280" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1280" data-original-width="1208" height="567" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhH364BqtVVyls_pwigsdjNRU13j7r88pkodnN27rJnyp6-2fAlnFw_KRH4OpMqRGOTFdcH8FUYO-6lg6Fa1ZXDscW2Gif1xKEDux5WIIUt_8C_mPbUymIAhAecSR6NEsCbf-SkDWKEKnl-99sFrDpnZ3230XG1UBTSepXN_rntgZHDaVR9VxtMKHS5tA=w535-h567" width="535" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: medium;">Her eyes were red from the spray but she is happily sleeping now. </span></td></tr></tbody></table><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">The timing of tonight’s Surprise Shower is amusing for two
reasons. First: I actually pondered taking Bella to the DIY dog wash place today.
She was overdue for a wash. But I had lots of art to grade and decided to put
off the trip another day or two. Now I’ve saved myself a trip if Bella’s home
bath takes care of the skunky residue. Truthfully, timing is rarely on my side.
I’ve often washed my car the day <i>before</i>
it rains. In keeping with this trend, a skunk spraying would happen a few hours
<i>after</i> I’d taken the dog to be washed.
This particular episode marks a change from how things often work in my crazy
world (“Sarah’s Shenanigans,” as my friend Nicole aptly named them). I’m not
saying I’m <i>thrilled</i> about the
spraying, but timing was somehow on my side. This one time.<o:p></o:p></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">The other interesting piece of timing is that Hubby is on a
work trip. My mom always joked that disasters happened only when my dad was out
of town, so we are keeping the family tradition alive. But seriously, if there
is a silver lining in all this (besides the clean bathroom floor, blog post
inspiration, and idea for Suds ‘n' Grub), it’s this: if Hubby had been here, I
would have yelled for help and he would have helped immediately. But because he
wasn’t here, I handled it on my own. I used to doubt whether I could handle unexpected
trouble. I used to think other people had better ideas about how to handle problems.
Luckily, over time my confidence has grown. I think some of us often
underestimate ourselves. Obviously, this wasn’t a dire situation like carrying
an injured person off of Half Dome and performing emergency surgery on the way
down with nothing but a few safety pins and a flashlight. But these unexpected
situations are a good reminder to me that I can handle things I haven’t
encountered before. I wish I’d spent less time second-guessing myself over the years.
Still, I’m proving to myself that I can handle the unanticipated.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: arial;">So that is the tale of a lifted skunk tail, and the trouble
that followed. It’s not a fairy tale, but it does have a happy ending in that
Bella survived her skunk encounter and we did, too. After her bath, she soon
returned to her happy self, snoozing in her favorite spot. I’ll check with the
vet tomorrow to see if there is anything else we need to do. As for me, I have
a dozen towels to wash, but that’s okay. And on the plus side, the lingering

It
could be a happy face, it could be a jack-o-lantern, it could be a

portrait of Mr. T, complete with mohawk. Who’s to say? Art is in the eye of the

butterflies. It felt like a good project because the kids could personalize
their butterflies, and practice their cutting and gluing skills. Some are still
four, and I have to give props to my young friends for what they made. Scissors
are complicated when you are only four or five. I love this wiggly, energetic
group of kiddos.<o:p></o:p></span></p><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjs1Nl-S-RKVi1eebMwRsrdtV03jb9ags2GodWkUh8u5_qx0AsZgjYnOLEKXP3BVwiUAWZCLyuY7GVBu8bosyqqfOcGQy419mEl2jDnsAbt_miViwO_LEurgHJlktMjth8f3nyG3Serb-9U/s2048/Kindergarten+butterflies+%25288%2529.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

but theirs are a bit different. I created butterflies from paper plates (you
know I love a good deal, and paper plates are inexpensive and a fun twist on a
flat piece of paper). If you want to try this at home, you will need 1.5 paper
plates per butterfly. You’ll also need a stapler (or hot glue), a pipe
cleaner/fuzzy stick and markers. You cut the paper plate in half to make the
upper wings, and cut a plate into quarters for the bottom wings. Staple them
together and watch them fly!<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;"><br /></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiboLdokOxY3wNSvLT31JX3c76boFur5TNoES9-LonxFOh6VomjSCdGEwl3Cm96IQkZcOJUAe5NlwkNuQ5fO_hrxYkjUVq1S1MmW8Tg2aU8g_PwazIWizYOlRlDCu7l5wHL_mAovRdNdsVZ/s2048/Butterflies+by+1st+grade+%25285%2529.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;

colorful canopy of wings, but the fire marshal inspected the school last week
and we are not allowed to hang anything from the ceiling. (How are we supposed
to be artists if we can’t hang fun things from the ceiling? Sigh. I guess I’ll
have to think of a different way to display these beautiful creatures. Maybe
outside somewhere…)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">My third, fourth and fifth graders have been drawing shapes
and practicing shading. I asked them to make a variety of shapes on their
papers and to try blending one color into another, within a shape. They were
asked to blend colors on at least three shapes, but some kids shaded a lot more
than three. The trick to blending is to do layers. Put your darker color on one
side of the shape. Put your lighter color on the opposite side. In the middle,
layer the lighter color first, and go over it with the darker color (but not at
full strength). Try to make a soft blend. Some of the kids loved this project,

font-size: large;"><br /></span><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: arial; font-size: large;">Sixth and eighth graders created still life drawings with
origami borders. The items in their still lives were everyday items (literally
ones I had at home already, plus a few I bought at the 99 Cent Store). Art
doesn’t need to be super fancy—just sketching an everyday object is a good way
to learn how to draw things realistically. I asked the kids to put their items
on a piece of origami, almost like a placemat, and to create an origami border
around the edge of their paper to frame their work. I love origami paper for
its wonderful patterns. There is so much you can do with it. It’s not just for
making cranes!<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGHBiENgJdDiwf0j_8ijbdGqKwkHNxzhSkBXkxxQe1lmKzgT1P3jy-UPHjrFKKwu5seCSnx1YA0_2eurOhmHPKVuOqTXJW6Enx8zNETL9H7XvOEXNt6wqBOvFENa3vxxc6W3rT2oFkVkhe/s2048/6th+grade+still+lifes+with+orgami+frames+%25281%2529.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em;
