I was never artistically gifted. I can scrapbook just fine, but when it comes to creativity with painting or drawing I am doomed. I am determined not to allow my views of art influence my teaching. This week my third grade class had fun with some spring theme art. I gave them two choices: painting a still life or creating a mosaic. Here are some things that they came up with.

My attempt at being artsy in my classroom was a success and the students really seemed to enjoy it. It's also refreshing to have beautiful flowers on my back bulletin board. Now I have to think of a new art project for next month that is easy enough for me to demonstrate and doesn't require materials that I don't have access to at the school.
That looks like so much fun! I bet the kids loved it.
