This is a weird time of the year for an art teacher to start a blog. Already half of the year has passed, I'm knee deep in art projects, and my once impeccable classroom has morphed into its predictable state of controlled chaos. I realize this.
However, I'm always looking at blogs I come across on Pinterest and Google, seeking out that extra creative push I need to come up with something really exciting for my ever-so-individualistic student population. I'm always fascinated with what I can find. Fascinated and grateful...and inspired.
So...it's January. A new year and a new opportunity to inspire. I'm hoping that what we create in my classroom can be of help to someone, even if it's changing a little detail of a teacher-tested, kid-proof, lesson for the masses - or if it's just a smile you need on a really rotten day.
I'm your gal.
