Hi everyone! As I pushed out to all my students last month in Google Classroom Stream, I am putting some creative activities on this website each month. Also, I am designing a whole new, instructional website for the upcoming school year!!!

I thought that a wacky basket weaving might be a fun sculptural activity to try, and this video from Blick (where I get my art supplies) makes it easy:

Also, summer is a great time to make your own journals! With just a few steps, you can make a One Page Book or Accordion Book (from http://www.makingbooks.com).

Finally, let nature become part of an art project, by making your own “paint” from flowers and leaves: https://www.marthastewart.com/1516423/natural-ink-colors

2) Divide the oval in half vertically and horizontally.

4) Your nose is half way between your eyes & mouth.
5) Your mouth is halfway between your nose and chin.
