You always hope that your children will get your talents for art and creativity, but sadly my oldest son has not. I love him dearly, but I need to convince him to stay in band because he (and I) will have a very rough time in high school if he has to take my class.
It is very hard to give out a new project and see that everyone is doing great, and the only one struggling (and I mean struggling) is the art teacher's kid.
Sorry Chase.

Never miss a Tuesday
Well after a couple of crazy weeks, I have one third grade class that is way ahead of all the others because you never miss a Tuesday. So last week I had them do these simple water reflections with oil pastels.

Tissue paper????
Every now and then I wonder what the art teacher before me did for projects. This thought doesn't really occur to me except when I open my tissue paper cupboard. I have been teaching at this school for 11 years, and in that time I have NEVER had to order tissue paper.
This might not seem weird until you realize that all of my classes (18 of them) use tissue paper at least once a year, some more. Or the fact that 2 years ago I actually gave my sculpture class the assignment to make authentic pinatas using tissue paper squares. (We made 20 pinatas.)
Today I decided to organize that cupboard and I still found half a box of unopened tissue paper, plus enough loose stuff to probably cover the football field.
So again I ask....What did he do with all of the tissue paper??
