Classroom Stuff...

On this page you will find lots of artsy stuff, including posters and other fun stuff I've made for my class and students. Visuals, Visuals, and more visuals - I've learned that they are extremely important and it cuts back on my reminders :)

Art Voice Levels....
These hang at the front of the class on the board. As voice level warnings are given, letters are flipped, until all letters have been flipped.

Classroom Posters....

- The 4's line poster is positioned at the classroom door (to help students remember what is expected while standing in line) 

- The glue bottle poster helps little hands to dot, dot, dot (not use a lot)

- The "catch-up day" poster, well that's exactly what it is, catch-up day! On catch-up day students finish all the art they haven't had a chance to, due to either being absent or working slowly on a project. I try to have a catch-up day at least once a quarter. 

Paintbrush Care...

This poster hangs at the classroom sink and helps remind students to clean their brushes. This makes me smile! 

Meet Mark, he is the class marker eater! This monster eats the old dried markers that are no longer usable and then I turn them into watercolor paint....

Here is Mark all set-up at his new home (next to our school mascot).... Mark is ready to be fed those old dried markers!!!

My art class has many spaces for storage, but none of the shelves have doors. OCD is an understatement when I say I like things organized :) The shelves are great, but I like things to be hidden away at times... so I decided to make "rainbow" curtains and cover the shelves above the art sink! Before and after picture...

To add even more of a splash of color, I added paint buckets above each table. Each table has its own color...
