Drawing with curved lines, creating patterns with shapes, coloring our best with crayons.
<br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/02/07/940.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/02/07/s_940.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=12/02/07/941.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/12/02/07/s_941.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />Second Grade Texture Creatures

Students used metal to create a Zentangle, colored with permanent markers, attached to a square black paper, extended their continuous line from the metal onto the black paper and filled in using construction paper crayons. Love, love, love these.

Ugly, old, and cheap looking. Shiny "gold" chain, plastic "crystal" pieces and overall screaming 1980's decor!<br />It looked something like this:<br /><br /></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqlBH_bfegW4Zocs_GZ6Q-mF1A60SWE13YFatNp2UaTDAYCVSnMcEIxYhXs5224miR1Vh0ile6BagEJbF-KTZrFHkhVthAJanAMN889fdFdOevz7K0XbtJbIIJhkPEInxqJbX0Dl3E3iE/s1600/chandelier"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 212px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqlBH_bfegW4Zocs_GZ6Q-mF1A60SWE13YFatNp2UaTDAYCVSnMcEIxYhXs5224miR1Vh0ile6BagEJbF-KTZrFHkhVthAJanAMN889fdFdOevz7K0XbtJbIIJhkPEInxqJbX0Dl3E3iE/s320/chandelier" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5600596485211825090" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:130%;"><br />We have planned on changing this gaudy chandelier many times, I had even bought a new one. The challenge that we faced was how the heck to get up to the ceiling, 20 feet high, to actually change out the old one for a new one. So, we just figured forget it, we'll do it another time.<br /><br />Having to look at this ugly thing for so many years and disliking it so bad pushed me over the edge. I looked up DIY chandeliers on Google and didn't find anything too exciting. Frustrated, I came up with my own solution - using my addiction to scrapbook paper I created this A-W-E-S-O-M-E hanging piece of art.

Even if you aren't into participating in the challenge, you will see some awesome art!<br /><br />Enjoy!<br /></span></div>tana...http://www.blogger.com/profile/03768592869510043982noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6423808969172177598.post-18053727053764660042011-03-03T19:51:00.004-06:002011-03-03T20:10:47.921-06:00twist on pinch pots...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsyaw-9OvKVwN7hJdmcF65nzpYnZupDCM0GkWd9bWJO-GYQpXw2xWl5PjkndsHrOK-Dq9RPa2-FQbu2tKlOnusEntsYp7SdI_AiMH5_vNcPs8MdHgzpYwBpiXWFdjvZotDLazr_QbNgec/s1600/IMG_1067.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsyaw-9OvKVwN7hJdmcF65nzpYnZupDCM0GkWd9bWJO-GYQpXw2xWl5PjkndsHrOK-Dq9RPa2-FQbu2tKlOnusEntsYp7SdI_AiMH5_vNcPs8MdHgzpYwBpiXWFdjvZotDLazr_QbNgec/s320/IMG_1067.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5580037864890815378" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;">With first grade, we added those awesome little mosaic pieces to "jazz up" our pinch pots.<br /></span></div><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0KkOl_P4M0vz6UZ4tjifuyXavHNE6x8gnuNlFqU2u2rgC48awE9gUV4hlKAZKkVhB3pH8QDdCwSX0RFdnZg8uZnAgoZBHziTJ2QajBJldkwlWJcP_ONfLA4ZkBM3fi20Zn99A-AjGCB0/s1600/IMG_1068.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0KkOl_P4M0vz6UZ4tjifuyXavHNE6x8gnuNlFqU2u2rgC48awE9gUV4hlKAZKkVhB3pH8QDdCwSX0RFdnZg8uZnAgoZBHziTJ2QajBJldkwlWJcP_ONfLA4ZkBM3fi20Zn99A-AjGCB0/s320/IMG_1068.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5580037855570736546" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size:130%;">The students could use a pattern if they chose, but it wasn't a requirement.</span><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHQGNkVnKRMIiJPVTzJIFN4dfgzHyF_3d2ioGgE5DUtNnYGqwu5tAraqIIWjtAx5rGLyj40Jh29TfnW31OMqjv3hXrIM1Fn_GF7x9hpD1i2z-EcfcSlWZrKH-4RgGFesv6SFUEwv6Bst4/s1600/IMG_1066.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHQGNkVnKRMIiJPVTzJIFN4dfgzHyF_3d2ioGgE5DUtNnYGqwu5tAraqIIWjtAx5rGLyj40Jh29TfnW31OMqjv3hXrIM1Fn_GF7x9hpD1i2z-EcfcSlWZrKH-4RgGFesv6SFUEwv6Bst4/s320/IMG_1066.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5580037849295132674" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Most pinch pots were very successful, although I did have to mend a few because the mosaic pieces were pushed into the clay too hard.<br /></span><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZKH0igYTzo-1WRDP1c9b9UadYYCKEFdHTrRHpfWl0aAYLwJ04S6iljO4WCtPsxpV7eyXAzcz5cQfMTrbVNuOH4hmKcbbgDfmUgWhUHSjbCwydz05rkP11DzrEBk2Zow1yphiMTqHr2zM/s1600/IMG_1065.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZKH0igYTzo-1WRDP1c9b9UadYYCKEFdHTrRHpfWl0aAYLwJ04S6iljO4WCtPsxpV7eyXAzcz5cQfMTrbVNuOH4hmKcbbgDfmUgWhUHSjbCwydz05rkP11DzrEBk2Zow1yphiMTqHr2zM/s320/IMG_1065.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5580037841200571762" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Glazing all these cute little pots was a bit much for this art teacher, so I may have to bribe some volunteers to help me out. :)<br /></span><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfba9kRmj0YkLlhVtu9YOerSoz5CIGE6mT_cRBtRBtB_IoJ6UoSI-rVDc9yY912EB1luHn_rcDvwRnE08yUulTycBp7UtMMg2kWL24-W0gEQvWjO1PFepnvZOW7p5rPifcr3PQIoyKJww/s1600/IMG_1063.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 253px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfba9kRmj0YkLlhVtu9YOerSoz5CIGE6mT_cRBtRBtB_IoJ6UoSI-rVDc9yY912EB1luHn_rcDvwRnE08yUulTycBp7UtMMg2kWL24-W0gEQvWjO1PFepnvZOW7p5rPifcr3PQIoyKJww/s320/IMG_1063.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5580037837834579314" border="0" /></a>tana...http://www.blogger.com/profile/03768592869510043982noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6423808969172177598.post-44069242463124030612011-03-02T06:32:00.002-06:002011-03-02T09:01:33.314-06:00mosaics...<div style="text-align: center;">How fun are these!

Even though we still have SO MUCH SNOW and the temperature isn't cooperating with us Minnesotans, I need some change! So, please bear with me while I play around with some new design ideas.<br /><br />Does anyone have a favorite site they use for free blog designs that you could share? So far I haven't found what I am looking for. I am a swirly gal who like color and swirls, swirls and a few flowers here and there. I will keep looking until I find that perfect fit for me. <br /><br />Oh - like how the heck do I change the words on those little tabs right about here, and how can I use them? There isn't a way for me to do that on the editing page. Can't there be something so easy and pretty and fun that all I have to do it add the html and be done with it!?<br /><br />Enjoy your day!</div>tana...http://www.blogger.com/profile/03768592869510043982noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6423808969172177598.post-49697924537952578782011-02-23T19:38:00.004-06:002011-02-23T20:38:35.932-06:00plaid...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxT4n9dBtDK2IViM3hc8EfxuGs0M7Cm6eNFwRQcb7n3AFQfa_WKR-7FWiNAivLrphHOKZ-99-kofF6FEd1FOCDaBiUtp_8VQeRCnjhSiHPHG0TaBcDrQvZUnz4H4R4qAt5HM4maCTfwb0/s1600/DSC_0094.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 217px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxT4n9dBtDK2IViM3hc8EfxuGs0M7Cm6eNFwRQcb7n3AFQfa_WKR-7FWiNAivLrphHOKZ-99-kofF6FEd1FOCDaBiUtp_8VQeRCnjhSiHPHG0TaBcDrQvZUnz4H4R4qAt5HM4maCTfwb0/s320/DSC_0094.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5577074311544647250" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8lnqWxyxlo6eQFeY1gflo9ncxfuUUIRGIK4wcEvcsi-YCUxf3h3D0mIo1_NY7ZXQQ580zn5ax6tCcg568v9P17bvlunDGztHddqa3yHpLTBMMlmZq0EWA9gfP40-i_m73JCLt5DnjFoc/s1600/DSC_0093.JPG"><br /></a><div style="text-align: center;">In first grade we learn about different lines.

I have been tangling and tangling so much that I can't seem to do anything else! <span style="color: rgb(153, 102, 51);"> </span><span style="color: rgb(153, 102, 51);">seriously</span>...<br /></div><br />Back a few months ago I was searching around the internet for doodles and came across the Zentangles website. You can see it <a href="http://www.zentangle.com/">here</a>. Since then, I organized a group of art teachers and had one of the CZT (certified zentangle teacher) out to our district to give us a class. We had a blast, although it went by way too fast!<br /><br />I have incorporated "Tangle Time" into the art day with all the kids in my school. I set aside a whole week (remember, I only see the kids once a week for an hour) to teach the art of Zentangle. I am SO happy that the kids love this "new" art!!! So, back to "Tangle Time," instead of the dreaded "Free Draw" station I made a "Tangle Time" station. I have an index card box with laminated index cards that have different tangles on them. The kids can tangle in their sketchbooks, use a blank square piece of paper to create their own Zentangle, or choose from a variety of empty Zentagle tiles I have already made. So far, so good! Kids love it, I love it and even some of the assistants are getting into it!
