Teaching art with itty bitty students, exploring creativity, finding new passions and purpose, and enjoying the progress of my three greatest works of art out there in the big world.

Fish to scale
I've been on a mission to find art class uses for the heavy, silver-toned ziplock bags I got at the last Raytheon W.A.S.T.E. give-away. The plastic is too difficult for preschoolers to cut with scissors. I think it makes lovely fish scales, though. My elementary students have been making metallic fish using a variety of materials. Some of the fish will be double-sided, and filled with a stuffing to make "puffy fish". Others will be used as collographs to make interesting texture prints.

Last week's egg carton tackle boxes were fabulous!! I especially liked how Jessi could tell me which one was the "float that keeps your hook from going away". You're the best art teacher, Nancy!!!
