Second Grade learned about the first President George Washington! We watched a fun cartoon by Mike Venezia about the man who is considered the "Father of our Country". Students looked at the George Washington portrait by artist Glibert Stuart. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Students drew and painted their very own representations of George Washington! They turned out so cute! Thank you Dryden Artists for the inspiration!</div>

Revamped Clean up Map! Created in Notebook for the Smart Board!<br />
Clean up can be a difficult time in the art room. Recently I started using a clean up map that I can project on my Smart Board to show students the steps they need to take to clean up. Having a visual really helps student's understand what to do during this time. If they can't remember what to do next they just have to look at the board.<br />
When students hear the music they know they need to follow the steps on the map. If they finish they go to their seats and dance! That's my favorite part! We have so much fun! I love being an art teacher!<br />
<br />
Here's how it works:<br />
I keep the file projected on the SmartBoard throughout the day and change the supplies to meet the needs of the class. Early finishers have to follow the rules before they get out a free choice center. When it's time to clean up I press one of the blue circles with the play button to play the music. I have two different songs on it right now (I am going to try to change it up every once in awhile).<br />
<br />
The purpose of the box is to have a place to keep all of the images so I can quickly grab them!<br />
<br />
When I introduced this to the kids we discussed what each image represents. For instance, the 1st step on this map is a drying rack, this means the kids need to put away their art. The 2nd step is to put away all materials, 3rd wash hands, 4th wash tables, 5th sweep, and the last step is to meet me at the carpet (3-5th grade find their seats so i would change the carpet to the chair).<br />
<br />
<br />
When they finish they go to their seats and dance to the music! That's the best part! We pull out all our best moves!<br />

Fourth graders used the Elf Yourself app on the ipad as we finished our Foreshortening Winter Characters and Elves. You can add up to 5 elves with the app so each table got a chance to create dancing elves! We had so much fun and could not stop laughing!</div>

Falling For Foreshortening: Elves and Winter characters!<br />
Before break fourth graders started discussing perspective and point of view. We drew large hands and feet and then drew small figures behind them to make our characters look as though they were falling from the sky or sliding down to the ground.<br />

2nd and 3rd graders were inspired by the art and architecture of Dr.Seuss' books. We read How the Grinch Stole Christmas and looked at several other Dr. Seuss stories. Students had a wonderful time making a "Whoville" and using Dr. Seuss' whimsical style. The last step was to draw and attach the Grinch peeking over or hugging the town!<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
Kindergarten started out the beginning of the year with Art Centers. I got the idea from several different art teacher blogs. I am so appreciative of all the work that other art teachers have put into sharing ideas through their blogs. I use the advice and experience of so many other teachers when planning out my curriculum. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After seeing some of the art center activities, some of the older grades started asking if they could get them out when they finished a project early. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
When Kindergarteners enter the art room they get an animal to put around their neck. They then find the same animal at one of the centers.They switch centers every 7-10 min. depending on the project. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To switch centers I just rotate the animal picture and they have to find theirs once again. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are various rules at each center. When the bells ring the first time they clean their center and sit quietly, when it rings the second time they can move to the next center.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: right;">
We spent the first couple of classes working on just getting to know the centers. After that I started incorporating the more fun, exciting, artsy lessons. </div>

Kids love to build! Even some of the 4th graders choose to use these when they finish a project early. I only wish that I had more. This center stays on the carpet, students must work together and only take one block at a time. Sharing is key to this center. </div>

I love these. The kids have so much fun imagining and creating a world for some of their favorite characters. They can draw a world around the character, give them props, even deface them (The Boys love giving Justin Beiber funny glasses and missing teeth.) I have a whole box full of different sheets. They are really simple to make and so much fun to draw on! You just print out some of your favorite characters,slide them into a page projector sheet, and start creating!</div>

<b>Usborn Activity Cards</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Another classroom favorite. I just recently found these in a baby store in a town nearby and knew the kids would love them. I was right. They are Dry-Erase activity sheets. Front and back they each contain a challenge. From making monster cookies, adding funny hair styles to the creatures, finding your way through a maze, to creating texture on your creatures and showing symmetrical designs (it's like they were made just for the art room). </div>

<br /></div>
Third graders have been learning about Prehistoric Art. We had a blast creating a classroom cave and drawing inside and out of our cool cave. Students each had a role in the making process and worked together to make a great team. During another class, we discussed what we thought we knew about Cave men and some common misconceptions.<br />

Students watched all of the funny clips from the Gieco commercials and discussed how the cave men were portrayed.<br />

This was one of the best projects I have taught so far! Students were so excited to create something that they know so well. There were several moments where the room was silent as everyone intently focused on their creations!<br />

After reading the book we took a dot for a walk and walked a line that I set up in the halls at each elementary school. I believe that engaging students in a interactive activity makes the art experience more meaningful ands fun. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Walking the Line was so much fun, even older students couldn't resist. Unfortunately this made it difficult for teachers to keep their students walking in straight lines in the hall that week. </div>

Each table has a Patron Artist and each </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
seat has a number associated to it. I use this management tool for a couple of different purposes. As you can see in the photos, the tables have their very own art supplies and shelf in the room. That means that they can find their supplies quickly and are responsible for keeping them nice (since they will be using them all year). The seat numbers each have a captain job that switches every week. Whether its getting supplies for their table, in charge of floors, drying rack, recycling, washing tables, etc.</div>

Balancing three Art rooms requires an organized Art Teacher! Creating and keeping organized Art rooms have been an ongoing process, but I enjoy the challenge! In college, my methods professors taught me that even though a lot of Art rooms may look chaotic and unorganized, most art teachers have a method to their madness and have unique style of organization. This is very true. My organization even varies from room to room. It all has to do with the space and tools provided in each building. Being a traveling art teacher and traveling from one school to another in the same day means that I have to start my day with everything ready to go, so before I can drive to the next school, I need to make sure that I have everything ready for the next time I will be in the building. Below are some photos of the three Art Rooms that I share with my students!</div>

Hello and welcome to my site! I am the Traveling Elementary Art Teacher
at Crestwood Elementary. I teach PK-5th grade Art in Cresco, Limes
Springs/Chester and Elma! This is my second year as an Art Teacher. I
am beyond blessed to have found a career that I love so much! I enjoy
spending my days creating and sharing with others.</div>

Three years ago I married my best friend. My Husband Grant and I met as
art students at The University of Northern Iowa. We have two dogs whom
we love very much: Gizmo and Piper. </div>
