http://artatwoodland.blogspot.com/2012/02/henri-rousseau-jungles.html
My second grade art students had a great time learning about Henri Rousseau. We learned about his life and asked the question - "How do artists surroundigs effect their art work?

The Princess of Polka Dots. The K, 1st, and 2nd grade art students are knee deep in our 3D clay unit. It is a fun time and the students are really enjoy it. Right now we are studying the artist Yayoi Kusama. In 1st grade. Do you know anything about this Princess of Polka Dots? She uses repetition as the focus for her art installations - making many of the same thing with the same design! When our pumpkins are fired we will glaze them with polka dots inspried by Kusama!

Not a day goes by without Facebook being a topic of some conversation or another. Students sometimes talk about it and I have even heard them use it as a verb "Facebook me! Has replaced the "call me" of days gone by. I thought it would be fun to embrace our cultures love of Facebook to teach the kids about artists! My art partner in crime at my school.

.: Dale Chihuly - 3rd Grade Sculptures
http://artatwoodland.blogspot.com/2011/12/dale-chihuly-3rd-grade-sculptures.html
Dale Chihuly - 3rd Grade Sculptures. That is my take away from the Dale Chihuly. Sculpture lesson I just finished with my 3rd graders. They loved studying his work and using it as the inspiration for their own sculptures. We looked at Chihuly's work and after our initial discussion on the differences between form and shape we watched a video of Dale Chihuly making a piece of art from his Macchia. Series. It was great for the students to see first hand how a piece of blown glass art is made. Chicago Museu...
