Marbled Paper Starry Night

Shaving cream marbling is always so fun and creates amazing results! 2nd grade used this technique to emulate the movement we see in Van Gogh's Starry Night. 

After the paper dried, we used black paper and yellow & white oil pastels to add scenery to our artworks. 

Van Gogh's Sunflowers

5th grade used a simple pinch pot method to create bowls. Then we added petals using the slip & score technique to turn them into sunflowers inspired by Vincent van Gogh's paintings. 

When a student asks if they can add a turtle in their sunflower, you don't say no. ^_^

This is my first time in many years using a kiln and my first time using glaze. All went well and they turned out super cute! You can find more information about this lesson and other Van Gogh lessons here. 

New Year, New School!

Most of you know that this year I moved from Tennessee to Kansas. I am starting my new school year in the Kansas City, Kansas Public Schools District! Excited to share my lessons with new students and meet the local art teachers! ^_^
