Art and Creativity: Sharing with you my most favorite thing to teach!

 

Here is a peek into my space where I teach on Outschool and where I also create my videos for Youtube.

It was a bit of trial and error at first because the Wifi in our area does the best it can but it is a bit of The Little Engine that Could.   Thankfully, I have figured out a way to make it work and it has been so fun to share with your kiddos both in person and online.

Celebration of the Wildebeests

 

I can't get enough of these wildebeests created by the 1st and 2nd graders this year.  Let's compare them to the real thing, shall we?

Also known as the gnu, the wildebeest is a member of the antelope family. They have a large, box-like head with curving horns. The front end of their body is heavily built, while the hindquarters are slender with spindly legs. They have a gray coat and a black mane as well as a beard that can be black or white.

Kinders Having Fun with the Jungle Theme

 

This is such a fun project because well who doesn't love monkeys???

I like to couple this project with my series on Henri Rousseau - he was a master at depicting the jungle in its vibrancy.

Rousseau’s jungle paintings transport viewers into another world—one that he pieced together from his own imagination and his explorations of Paris. The artist once famously said, “When I step into the hothouses and see the plants from exotic lands, it seems to me that I am in a dream.”
