🏺🛘 in our ANCIENT ERA 🛘🏺

We’ve been traveling way back in time for our first official unit with The Art of Sketching & Ancient Art!

✏️ for our intro to sketching concepts using light lines, basic shapes and composition strategies we did a sketching scavenger hunt looking at the world around us through the eyes of an artist - looking at lines, and textures and shadows, oh my!

🛘 our first stop brought us inside caves to explore some of the oldest art renderings on record

🏺we then jumped up in time to explore the architecture and styles of Ancient Egypt - with our own sketch grids and pastel renderings of King Tut’s mask

🗺️ we then used Google Earth to travel north to Ancient Greece & Rome uncovering treasures from the lost city of Pompeii, and the ruins of the Colosseum before younger students created their own temple sketches and resist watercolor technique with guides from .edu.art while middle school created Roman bust - I’m loving how these all have turned out!

Stay tuned next week when we officially wrap this unit with our ERA DAY! Full of fun stations, costumes & tricks just in time for Halloween! 🎃

Drop your guesses below for my not one, but two costumes I’ll be rocking next week - one for Era Day & one for our teacher costume parade! 🧐👻

Think about how many times you’ve been sad after hearing, “we’re taking over for the ‘99 and the 2000s.”

Just something to think about 🫶🏻

🍂🎃 I smell SWEATER WEATHER! 🎃🍂

Ok, maybe true pumpkin spice temp drops are still on the horizon, but here in south Texas, we'll use any excuse to head outside when we get back into double digit temps.

🍂 My art classes loved the SKETCHING SCAVENGER HUNT for our intro to the Art of Sketching unit where we talked about noticing details like textures, shadows and proportion

🍂 And our FIVE SENSES NATURE HUNT is the perfect excuse to get outside and start exploring objects based on touch, sight, sound, taste and smell

📚🎨 what we're reading in ART! 🎨📚

We have been reading BEAUTIFUL OOPS! by in art the past couple of weeks - even in my upper grades - and I love kicking off the school year with this book because it is such a fun way to kick off creativity & respect for supplies

📚 How can you turn an OOPS or a mistake into something creative??
🎨 How can we respect our supplies by not tossing every little thing that has an imperfection?? (tears, smears, smudges and all!)
📚 There is no such thing as perfection in the art room!

BONUS we now have our own Beautiful Oops bin where you can either toss in a scrap that might be able to be turned into something else OR take up the challenge of finding a new purpose for another student's scrap!

📚🎨 STAY TUNED to see what ART or SEL books we're reading next in the art room!

✏️ writer’s scoop: swing of things

It's somehow now the third week of school, and are we getting into the swing of things?

Dare I say there's some resemblance to a new routine, albeit wake ups with a pr***en is still a struggle. Not sure that will change ;)

But, the curve ball of jumping back into the classroom WITH my kids is settling in, and my plans for the week are looking like I somewhat have it together??

That I might actually be able to have the best of both worlds, and not feel like I'm dropping a pin or two along the way.

That teaching & planning time can stay at school.
That deep writing & magazine days can remain undisturbed.
That sunrise walks and horse feeds can carry on most mornings.
That Pilates classes can sprinkle in between coffee shop meetings and calls.
That after school pickups can still be dedicated to catching up about the day.
That down time can be truly down.

All I know is that we're rolling with it for now. Will report back. ;)

How's your back to school routine rolling along??

*full disclosure: I did spend allll day Sunday deep cleaning my house that I've been neglecting, so let's not get too carried away that I have it all together ;)

✏️ writer’s scoop: save the frogs

What a funny juxtaposition summer break can be.

A time where I'm either in the car all day chauffeuring kids hopping from one camp to the next, or we're having lazy mornings clocking new bird species and saving dozens of tiny frogs from our pool.

Some weeks where "I'm bored" rings through the house alongside hours of science experiments, imaginative play, animal chores and pool yard picnics.

And some weeks where one activity runs into the next, and Google maps becomes your best friend on reverse calculating schedules, rush hours and grocery runs making it from one to the next on time.

But, I know like many, this time will fly by. Heck, we're somehow already halfway through June and I've already thought about ordering uniforms and school supplies for the coming year.

So, while summertime is meant to be full of adventure and full of rest, full of new experiences and old comforts, I guess it's just another season of balancing needs, and saving the frogs.

Does your summer routine have a smooth rhythm or rollercoaster effect?

*yes, froggies can swim but they can get trapped in the pool if they don’t find the ways to hop out in time

It’s a balancing act.
A juggling act.
A circus, it’s a circus. 🎪
