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.

Hubble Telescope
The 2nd graders have been learning about space and patterns in the night sky. For our first art lesson we looked at pictures of space taken by the Hubble telescope. We noticed the colorful gases and beautiful formations in space! We decided the most beautiful art in the world has been recorded by the Hubble telescope. For our art lesson, we learned how to blend colors by creating a watercolor wash as we created our own fantasy space picture. While our paintings were drying we made a black frame for our picture in the shape of a telescope and decorated the border with metallic markers. These pictures are just beautiful! Come visit the 2nd grade hall to enjoy the beautiful artwork as you take a flight of fancy into outer space!
