Sketchbook inspired Teach Art Tuesday

Sketchbooks are so great for exploring ideas,working out new schemes or just plain escaping.  Lately, medallions have been turning up all over mine.  Recently my boys and I made a big painting inspired by these sketchbook pages.  See it HERE

One of my teaching philosophies is sharing what inspires me.  With the Kinders my sketchbook page medallions were the jumping off point for a painting project.

Happy Fall

 Seriously, I'm completely in love with the instagram app on my iphone.  The square format and the different filters, it just makes me so happy.  I want to spend the day photo styling around my house :)

 I even used it yesterday in my kindergarten art class.  Cool art - perfect for instagram fun.
