Digital Art

We have been drawing digitally with Google Drawings. My 7th grade students were given the basics and allowed the time to learn Google Drawings. I showed them my Google drawing of a house and then students were required to construct a house with landscaping and other elements. It was a learning curve for many but eventually students were drawing some impressive colorful scenes. Several are timely considering that Halloween is approaching soon. From inside my office I hear many positive comments out in the hallway.

A New Sheet of Drawing Paper



The start of each school year is like a clean sheet of new drawing paper. I look forward to a fresh start each year with new lesson ideas, new students and new art supplies. Opening a new package of brushes and paint colors is always fun too. Twenty frames have been filled with new paintings of ocean animals and they will be on exhibit in the main hallway during September. Students are now collaborating on a legacy mural that will be installed once completed.
