I am an art teacher in a rural school district and I am passionate about making a difference in the lives of the students I teach. When I first started this blog many years ago I had more time to write and over the last few years I haven't posted as much. Public education has been changing and I hope to offer some encouragement and support to others during the coming months. Thanks for checking in.

1st Grade Mondrian Cut and Paste
The first grader's in Mrs. Percival's class created unique artwork in the style of Piet Mondrian's "Broadway Boogie Woogie!" We first looked at Mondrian's artwork and the students listed the interesting things they noticed about it. We started with lines, squares and rectangles, then added the colors red, yellow, blue and white. We talked about vertical and horizontal lines. Each child created their own unique interpretation with strips of red, yellow and blue paper.
