Fall Is Here!









It's been officially fall for about a week now and Milwaukee's trees are just starting to change color. I was lucky enough to catch the city tree trimmers at work in my neighborhood. I rescued a few beautiful branches for this morning's Kindergarten classes. Today was grandparents’ day; it was nice to share our art time with so many special people. Coincidently it was my grandma's 94th birthday this week. Tonight we are going to celebrate!

This month we have been building new routines in the art room as we study and review the element and principles of design. If you want to play some cool art games to help review and learn the elements and principles of design, try the art glossary and build your creative vocabulary at this newly updated Sanford link. With two new tables and the demonstration projector we all have more room to create. I feel like Martha Stewart sharing skills and techniques under the lights of the camera! The new arrangement has been working very well.
