Line Art with Skewers or Tooth Picks

Use skewers or tooth picks or other toys or materials around the house (like K’nex or Zip Ties) to layer and turn into line art. The way you layer can have different effects so play around the with mediums and try different things. Can you make your composition look happy? Whimsical? Angry? Can you turn it into a bird? A nest? A tree? Have kids take a picture with a device for an ever-lasting work of art that explores the element of art: line.

Food Color, Color Mixing Painting

Use your food coloring in your cupboard to make watercolor paints! Watch my video where I teach kids how to make their own Primary Color, watercolor paints with food coloring, then they learn to mix the primaries into Secondary Colors. This is a perfect, at-home Element of Art: Color lesson! Home Schooling and Distance Learning will be a breeze when you use what art mediums you have around you.

I love painting with Bamboo paint brushes. This is a great set to use if you need versatile paint brushes for your home.

Reflective Teaching Strategies for Art Teachers – Teaching Strategies for Art Educators

Hello my lovely friends, I am your host Kathleen McGiveron, founder of all things Ms Artastic. Today we’re going to talk a bit about reflective teaching practices.

This is a topic that I need to focus on as well. It is so often that we feel alone in our classrooms, offices, or studios… We show up, do the work, and go home. Sometimes we have colleagues, but it’s not all the time that we see them. As well, they may know you well, but they might not know what is happening inside your classroom, or your office, or studio. I think it is important that we remind ourselves of the magic makers in our lives, which are ourselves.
