Color Theory







For the start of the new semester of art class I thought we would learn some color theory. We started with an M&M quiz..questions about the primary and secondary colors..the answers were in the M&Ms snack. Then we painted color triangles..and experimented with some Kandinsky concentric circles.

Chanukah Crafts



This past month at our school Chanukah Party I provided some crafts for the kids to make. I had a hard time finding good Chanukah Crafts online so I came up with one that was a big hit and thought I would share it. We made Maccabee Shields using gold cake rounds that I bought from a bakery supply store . The kids used either colored tape or glitter glue and glitter to decorate the front of the shield. For the handle on the back we used duct tape. The kids loved them.!

We also made menorah candle hats, a chanukah standard, from construction paper and gold glitter..glued and stapled together. Here I lined the kids up for a human Menorah..!

Happy Chanukah!
