Inspiration

When I was on practicum a couple of the teachers in the school told me about this great blog called "That Artist Woman". I LOVE this blog. She has so many wonderful projects that are totally do-able in the classroom and as an added bonus are really nice looking finished products. Another thing that I really like is that the projects are categorized into seasons and also into medias. Such a great resource! I couldn't leave it without a picture so I will add this one - I can't wait to do this project one day. It involves a wet on wet watercolour painting technique, which is great, but my favourite part is that the trees are painted using a blowing technique where you move the paint around by blowing through a straw. Can you even imagine the different things you could link this to? How seasons change, forces of nature (wind), creating with different techniques...PLUS it is gorgeous!

  1. I remember doing a painting similar to this when I was in elementary school. We blew black paint around the paper and then added pink cherry blossoms to make Asian-inspired pictures. They were beautiful, and so fun to do!
