I am a part-time middle school art teacher, a wife and a mom of two. On my days off I teach art lessons in my kiddos classrooms and have created this blog to share my adventures.

4th grade Tree of Life Project
With the 4th grade students I have much more time to emphasize the elements of art and articulate terms with students. What I love hearing and seeing from the students is the correct usage of terminology and application that demonstrates understanding. The element that was most emphasized with this project was texture. Students observed tree bark and recognized its texture and recreated the appearance onto their trees using vertical overlapping lines with their sharpies. They selected magazine clippings that contained visual texture for their leaves. These are the beginning stages of the trees. Completed Trees will be posted soon!
