Wordless Wednesday: Art in Education

August 6, 2014

I’ve been kind of obsessed with these pencil shaving art pieces. So much art has been taken out of education, but how much fun would kids have with these? I could easily see the art as a beginning point for creative writing. That’s what we call a twofer. 😉

What are some ways you incorporate art into your curriculum?

    Since I teach a Young 5's class, I'm able to incorporate art into much of what I do. I try to make learning sight words interesting so the kids watercolor wash over the sight word written w/ white crayons on a weekly basis. They love seeing the word appear magically! We also make color collages as we're learning to read & spell color words. With almost any literature we read as a class, there's an art activity to be done. I especially like to incorporate art when we focus on fairy tales. The illustrations even a young child can do is amazing!

    Thankfully, my district still has elementary art class once a week for grades K-5. I also love to incorporate art into lessons. On Friday afternoons, I typically do some sort of art project that relates to what we've been learning about, or goes along with a theme for that time of year. I typically give the students an example, but I let them add their own flair to it. It's so fascinating to see what they come up with when I give them "the big idea" and then let them create the end product using the materials I give them and their imagination. 🙂

    I love the pencil shavings art project! We are fortunate enough to have a great art teacher. However, I still try to integrate it as much as possible. My students create personal seals, models of the state flag and try to replicate artifacts for just a few examples.

    This will be our first year without an art teacher. I plan to "beef up" my art center (I teach K) by including more materials left behind by our retired art teacher. I am also going to do more directed drawing at the beginning of the year during our writing block.

    I teach students with autism. I am certified in sp ed and art. Every lesson that I teach has an art component to it

DIY Floral Wallpaper // Charlotte’s first big gi DIY Floral Wallpaper // Charlotte’s first big girl room is one of my favorite places in the house. We let the kids choose their own decor for the new house and Charlotte’s room is a purple and pink dream... no surprise there!

We primarily use his closet for off-season storage and toys, but it was always a MESS! Then the mess spilled out onto his nightstand, desk, dresser, building table, and under his bed. He needed a system! 

I used the online design tool from @containerstorecustomspaces to create this DIY Classic Elfa system. It took about three hours to install and set up. I love how flexible the system is, which means we can reconfigure the layout as he grows. I’m also really proud of his label choices... maybe he inherited some of my organizational skills after all!

We had plenty of room to turn our primary shower into a wet room with freestanding soaking tub. Shower glass is on the way, and I think we’ll tackle those mirrors too.
