This past weekend I busted out the paper and set to work making some of my favorite bookmarks.
Here's the website that showed me how to make the shape of the bookmark! Let the creativity begin!

I'm a big fan of the show Doctor Who so I made a bookmark dedicated to the 11th doctor.

Fezzes and bow ties are cool!

3rd graders are starting a very fun and creative lesson about Matryoshka Dolls from Russia. Matryoshka Dolls, also called Nesting Dolls, are made out of paper and markers, colored pencils or crayons.

To the right are the shapes that the 3rd graders trace and cut out to get the shape and size needed for their nesting dolls. After the students finish drawing out their dolls, they will glue the dolls so they can be stacked and stand upright.

September 15th is international dot day so the 3rd graders are creating artwork inspired by a lovely book called "The Dot." Each third grader is given a square piece of paper and then they trace a quarter of a circle in black crayon.  Students draw abstract art by drawing shapes and lines in crayon and then paint inside the shapes and lines.
When 4 papers are put together they create a full circle, as seen on the right.
Below is a video of "The Dot"

I found this idea while on Pinterest (my new obsession) and followed the picture to the blog, Teach Kids Art. Each student would start with their name, writting each letter in pencil.
The first letter is drawn touching the bottom and left side. The next letter is drawn touching the first letter and the top of the paper. And then you alternate each letter, one is drawn touching the top and the next is touching the bottom. Each letter is touching the letters next to them.
Students will then use a black sharpie marker to make the letters thicker and then will add patterns in between each letters.

The 5th grade are starting out the year learning how to draw and paint Japanese Koi Fish.
To the left are the steps that I give to my students to make drawing the koi fish easier.
We will draw the Koi Fish with Black Sharpie Marker. Then we will paint the water using cool colors and paint the koi fish with warm colors.
We will finish the art project by adding salt to wet paint to create a speckled effect.
