Toilet paper sculpting!

Yes, that is the correct title of this post! Earlier this year I went to a workshop where one of the ideas was to sculpt with toilet paper. The trick is to barely wet one side of the paper then let the water soak or seep into the toilet paper. You can shape it, let dry, & when it dries it will hold its shape & can be painted. I decided to teach pop art and Wayne Theibaud with this lesson. So, 5th grade students are creating their favorite food. This is still a project in progress....more pics soon! I started everyone with sculpting a simple egg, then we painted them green & various other colors. The timing worked out great for Dr. Suess read across America!

Art Room Decorations

I am blessed to have an amazing art room with lots of natural light and beautiful windows. Several friends had tagged me on a picture on facebook with a paint can window treatment, so I just had to try it! I am loving the results! I just asked our cafeteria manager to save me the large cans and our custodian drilled some holes for me to hang them. I have also included my door decoration, which I created with ideas inspired by T. Matthews blog. Thanks for the inspiration!

Tissue Paper Masks

We chose to do either warm, cool, or neutral colors. After the masks were dry we popped them out of the forms, glued them to a construction paper background and added embellishments.
