We ordered the umbrellas!

We placed the orders for the umbrellas for the Umbrellas for Peace project today!  A huge thank you to the Pecatonica Education Foundation and Ms. Ginny Meyers of Gambino Real Estate for your generous donations to push this project forward!    The excitement continues to build!  We hope to have enough funds to purchase more paints as well!

Yes, Mom! I ate my artwork!

Kindergardeners had a great time with my annual "eat your artwork" color wheel lesson!

Students watched a 3 minute YouTube video about the color wheels before we dove into experimenting with red, blue and yellow frosting mixing on vanilla wafers.  Lots of excitement for this lesson today!  What colors can you make in between these colors?

Some kids just couldn't wait to dig in!

We even had some future kindergarten 2014-15 students visit today!  What a fun day to visit!

Now onto cleaning and packing up the studio for next school year.  Unknotting paint smocks anyone?
