I made this oil pastel eye drawing at the end of the school year while procrastinating and totally avoiding cleaning out my supply closet. I’ve taught eye drawing a lot, but never with oil pastels! I love teaching, and creating, with oil pastels because it’s like painting with a crayon.

Watercolor is such a fun way to create art quickly and intuitively! Students sometimes struggle with what to paint and there is nothing scarier than a blank piece of paper in art class.

My newest tutorial is one I’ve taught 1,000,000 times. Oil pastels have been one of my favorite ways to create since my parents got me a set in elementary school.

I had so much creating this watercolor drip Zentangle. I’m moving schools (and grade levels 😳) next year and have been brainstorming fun ways to start out the year.

Finishing out the year with these 6th grade figure sculptures. Tinfoil, paper Mache and some acrylic paint make this a budget friendly artwork! I love how students play with expression and balance, and Elizabeth Catlett’s powerful sculptures are my favorite to show students.

Pinch pot bird rattles are out of the kiln and being glazed!
