MizzSmiff's Art Room: July 2015
http://mizzzsmiff.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
AP Art History LiveBinder Shelf. Art is the only way to run away without leaving home. Twyla Tharp. Tuesday, July 7, 2015. I went to Hobby Lobby today and it seems that the pumpkins and pilgrims had been out for some time and the little worker elves were busy setting up Christmas decorations. I suppose then that it is not preemptive of me to go ahead and post my back to school supply list. You can find all the AMS class supply lists here at Teacher Lists. Visual Arts Supply List. In the meantime, don't t...

MizzSmiff's Art Room: February 2015
http://mizzzsmiff.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
AP Art History LiveBinder Shelf. Art is the only way to run away without leaving home. Twyla Tharp. Sunday, February 15, 2015. I am hoping for an early release and a 2-3 hour delay, the holy grail of teacher (and student) days. I enjoy the chaos, the change in schedule and the excitement that snow brings to the south. And the no-make-up-days. Which around here, are Saturdays when we are fresh out of teacher workdays. I think that we have one or two left this year. Lee and Adam hit the ceiling. My point i...

MizzSmiff's Art Room: Oil Pastels and Sacrifice
http://mizzzsmiff.blogspot.com/2015/03/oil-pastels-and-sacrifice.html
AP Art History LiveBinder Shelf. Art is the only way to run away without leaving home. Twyla Tharp. Monday, March 23, 2015. Oil Pastels and Sacrifice. HATE oil pastels. With a passion. The only other thing that is dislike more is chalk pastels. I hate the texture. I hate the mess. I hate the residue that they leave on my hands. I hate them. But I do it anyway. While we were working, I heard a few comments along the lines of "I HATE oil pastels! They are so messy! Can I wash my hands? If it were up to me,...

MizzSmiff's Art Room: Kellise and the Giant Pencil
http://mizzzsmiff.blogspot.com/2015/05/kellise-and-giant-pencil.html
AP Art History LiveBinder Shelf. Art is the only way to run away without leaving home. Twyla Tharp. Thursday, May 21, 2015. Kellise and the Giant Pencil. So, today's blog is not so much about what art we are doing in my class right now (for the record, we are finishing kaleidocycles and about to start a quick Robert Indiana lettering project) but a little exchange that Kellise and I had the other day. Does it really write? Can I use it? But then, she said. She liked my idea. So we decided that for every ...

MizzSmiff's Art Room: Summer
http://mizzzsmiff.blogspot.com/2015/06/summer.html
AP Art History LiveBinder Shelf. Art is the only way to run away without leaving home. Twyla Tharp. Saturday, June 20, 2015. Summer is upon us here in the middle of North Carolina and when I say summer, I'm not kidding. The last week has seen record breaking temperatures often over 100 degrees and it has been muggy. I wonder if my students are getting bored yet? I hope not, but here. If you are bored, get creative! I promise to take lots of pictures and I'll try to post them often. Art vs. craft. A line ...

AP Art History LiveBinder Shelf. Art is the only way to run away without leaving home. Twyla Tharp. Saturday, August 22, 2015. A couple of months ago, while I was still sleeping late and basking in the sunshine during the long, lazy days of summer, I entered Our State Magazine. Contest, sponsored by Linville Caverns. 50000 (approx) of cameras for my Bulldogs, courtesy of Our State Magazine. I have never been so excited in my life. This was definitely a "You're going to Disneyworld! From Cherokee to Rodan...

MizzSmiff's Art Room: Sharpie Shoes and Art Club

AP Art History LiveBinder Shelf. Art is the only way to run away without leaving home. Twyla Tharp. Saturday, May 2, 2015. Sharpie Shoes and Art Club. As a side note, fast finishers in my class are loving designing their own sneakers using print outs of these shoes. It's been fun for them to do as they are finishing up projects and need to find something creative to do. Here's a few pics of our finished sharpie shoes:. Emma loved hers, put them on right away and has worn them several times. And she has m...

AP Art History LiveBinder Shelf. Art is the only way to run away without leaving home. Twyla Tharp. Sunday, November 23, 2014. Holy Hand-grenades, Batman! The last few weeks in the art room have been a flurry of activity! Seriously, I need a break. Good thing Thanksgiving is coming up fast. It's all been great and fun but we have been so busy! Working on the Art Scavenger Hunt in Google Classrooms. Neil found the information about American Gothic. Much to my surprise, IT WORKED! We filled a bus with our ...
