Where do you find your inspiration?

Spend a little time with van Gogh

Sam, Sam, Sam, Sam!

Did you know that artist Andy Warhol and his Mom had hundreds of cats in their lifetime? That is a lot of cats! Did you also know that all of his cats were named "Sam" except one? What did he name that one cat?
See if you can find the name here while you explore Warhol's life and work. If you figure it out be sure to let us know by leaving a comment!

The above 3rd grade drawing is the beginng of our pattern lesson inspired by Warhol's cat illustrations. Be sure to look for the finished projects the next time you are in the building. Our 3rd grade pattern pets are fabulous!

Pop Artist Wayne Thiebaud is the inspiration behind the 1st graders paintings this week. He loves to use tints in his artwork and lots of light values. Do you know how to make a tint using paint? If not - ask a first grader!

Goodbye Ms. Dreher!

Ms. Dreher was our student teacher this fall from Georgia State University. She spent 8 weeks with us and did such a fabulous job! We will miss her and know that she is going to go on to be a great art teacher sometime very soon!  Thank you Ms. Dreher for all your hard work - we miss you already!
