Amazing Art Teacher

“Praise isn't flattery. It's fuel. I point to the win…however small, because a student who can't see their own power won't take a real risk….And I need them to feel safe enough to try.”

Collaborative Line Project

My second grade did this line project using the crayon resist technique.  I painted the boards with the thick black lines and each team of students was given a board to use crayons to draw “The Lines of Design” (some were using color pencils) on the white space.  Once the boards were all filled with lines.  They used watercolor to paint the boards and watch their lines pop through the paint like magic.  I then put all the boards together to create a mural for the Art Exhibition.
