It's great to be back!

Pecatonica Elementary is such a great place to work!  It's an honor to both live and work in the same community!  I received many well wishes and gentle hugs since my return.  It's wonderful to be in the Studio again!

We jumped into the art of printmaking this past week!  Ask your child about monotype printmaking.  Some students created prints using markers and styrofoam (BRING IN THOSE TAKE OUT CONTAINERS, please!) and some students experimented with the new Gelli plates.  The Gelli plates feels like gelatin without the mess of cooking.  Don't worry, we still got very messy and had some great discoveries in the process!

 If you forget the directions, here's the menu!

 Students help each other so I can circulate the other studios.

Some students chose to visit other studios this week.  The wonderful thing about TAB is the freedom of choice of chosen mediums to create authentic child art!

Hope everyone had a great time at the Fun Fair this weekend!  I am working on creating an Animoto video I will post soon!
