Some PATs Over the Years

Participated in a few PATs, but not as many as I have done in the past.

 

Summer Drawing...

Not as much time for art as I had originally thought...but isn't that the way it always goes!?

Here's another bookmark for my reading buddy - it's our favorite one yet!

 Here's some of the cards for my nieces and nephews. I asked to know their favorite animal and then I try and find some version of that animal I feel like I could draw and then add in birthday things! I think the kids have been liking to get them in the mail :)

Also, my 5 year-old niece is quite the artist and we were using her cool sparkly pens on our beach trip this past weekend, and as we sat across from each other I noticed she was watching what I drew (upside-down!) and then would draw it on her own paper. Then she wanted to hang our artwork on the fridge, because of course! (we also made paper airplanes ala my designs because I couldn't remember the last step correctly - the kids were still impressed with my skills, haha).

And finally, I painted these story stones for a game for my kinders to play. My own kids played them on our beach trip as well. You pick out 5 rocks and then tell a story with whatever you get. My kids loved playing - I hope my students will too!

A Year Ago...

Things in the art department settled down around here after February last year when my second son was born. But that didn't mean I stopped doing art - I just stopped doing ATCs and didn't really scan or share anything. So, here's a little catch up post.

I started the Document Life Project. I don't have any gesso, so had to skip week 2, but here's the start.

Sketch, Doodle, and Pop Swap

For this swap the challenge was to create a black and white sketch with a pop of red somewhere. It was oddly satisfying being limited to one color.
