These clay lanterns are a great variation of a traditional coil pot. My Sculpture 1 students finished their clay vessels right before break and several explored decorative lanterns.

This Thanksgiving doodle is great as a mindfulness activity and it perfect for just a couple of days before a break. 🥧🦃

We made it to Thanksgiving break!!!! As much as I love spending time with my students, I am so ready for some rest and down time.

I am just now getting to updating my Art II’s colored pencil artworks. They blended their hearts out focusing on color temperature and composition. This is an old favorite lesson, but this year we used our own stencils which made the results even better. I loved the creativity this allowed students, because exploring color theory and blending is no small task.

My students are wrapping up their acrylic painting unit and early finishers will try out painting pie this week!

After so much practice, my Art II students (a mix of 10-12th graders) finished their India ink landscapes. As usual, they took the technique and embraced it, creating a stunning group of pieces.
