Tap, tap, tap, spread, spread, spread...



...like putting jelly on some bread... This is the beginning of the rhyme I say when teaching the youngest students in our school about our glue brushes. Kindergarten started their collage unit with a reading of "It Looked Like Spilt Milk". They made torn paper collages using black and white papers. Next project, we'll move into color. Thank you to Suzie, Stella's Mom and an art educator colleague for some great tips and ideas, like tearing the paper behind my back and asking the children what action they think is making the sound that they hear.

Sshhhh.....


I've taught at PS 154 for four years now and have not shown my own art to my students or the school community. So, it's about time! Here is an image of an encaustic painting...

New School Year and New Art Studio!

Welcome back! This year the art studio has moved to room 302. Climb the stairs and enjoy the bright autumn light streaming through our huge windows.
