***FEATURED APP**
The video above was made using the free App "Motion Portrait"
It is SO fun, just draw or paint a picture of someone, take a photo, and bring it to LIFE!!

Third graders made these cool trees!

5th graders made a zentangle animal with a gradation value background. They turned out SO beautiful!!

 The kindergarten and 1st graders made colorful hand print fish tanks! They were SO cute!

The company made it very easy by providing labels for each child's art. After labeling we packed them up and sent them off to be printed.

Next we received an order form for every child with a picture of their artwork on the front and inside were pictures of all the fabulous items you can purchase!  

 We have collected all of our order forms at this point and sent them in. We are anxiously awaiting our gifts to come just in time for Christmas!! I cannot wait to make my next post when we get all of our Art To Remember products!! Visit my blog next week to see some happy kids with their purchases!!!

Here's a Holiday Draw-a-long of the Grinch to try!!

Shrimp, BunBun, and Rudy wish you a VERY Merry Christmas!!!

The Grinch Stole Christmas!!!

This week the kids are making a Grinch with a REALLY BIG heart! Students do a draw-along of the Grinch and then write a very sweet note/ or notes to a loved ones to warm his heart!! Then of course we COVER them with glitter!!!

 This weekend I had the privilege to use a very awesome studio with two of my best friends who are also art teachers to throw pottery! It was SO much fun and I got lots of Christmas presents made for all my coffee loving family members!!

My kiddos made these super cute trees and we bought some awesome sparkly green glaze for them! Can not wait to glaze and fire!

THE GRINCH!!!

We had SO much fun making the Grinch today! Here are the steps we followed for our drawings. 

The kids wrote the SWEETEST things to their families!! 
some of my favorites from today were...

-Grandma, I love you because you always has gum in your purse
-Dad, I love when mom is gone and you take us to get donuts
-Dad, I love you because you make the best chicken!
-Mom-I love how you take care of me when I'm sick even though you might get sick too!
-I love my mom because she is so pretty and smells like a sugar cookie
-Dad- I love when you ask me to help you fix things!

 I made this life size Grinch for our teachers to "Warm the Heart" of the Grinch! There were already several sweet notes on him when I left this afternoon, and I am hopeful we will fill him with lovely sentiments of kindness by the end of the week!
