If you missed the newsletter sent to your home email address, please click the link here, or read below.
One of my greatest joys as a teacher besides learning about your students and teaching them about art, is hearing how they are exploring and creating outside of the art room as an artist. When thinking about students' exploration of art on their own, I wanted to provide some resources for students on how to use different materials. So many materials we have at home can be used in more than one way, and students often ask me about different techniques and skills and ask me to demonstrate for them.
I always tell the students "the more you practice art, the better an artist you will be." I've included some links below for your students to explore at home with different types of materials. I hope your student enjoys creating at home as much as I enjoy watching them create at school.
Model Magic Techniques
Watercolor Paint Techniques
Glue Techniques
Colored Pencil Techniques
Marker Techniques
Crayon Techniques
Tempera Paint Techniques
I hope you and your students enjoy practicing some of these skills and new ideas at home with some great creations!
