My MS/HS Art Room

For those interested, my MS/HS art room is just as colorful as my intermediate room.  Drawing, painting, ceramics, sculpture, & all kinds of art making go on in here. My graphic classes are in the lab down the hall. That room hasn't gotten a makeover yet - it's brown & boring.

The "Scream" & "Starry Night" shelves are for student storage.

I have a "Mona Wall" full of Mona parodies. The green screen walls are used for all sorts of creative projects

The back corner is my senior bricks, where seniors come paint a brick, marking their passage from high school art into adulthood.

My desk is organized chaos. I have a storeroom behind my desk, which is an incredible blessing.

I teach two other schools via my Polycom. It's super cool & we can see and talk to each other live. As small as my district is, the other two districts are even smaller. The office behind my tv's gets used mainly by students since I no longer use it as an office. Seniors usually take over my office & use it as their own private studio.

New Luggage

I've been scouring stores, both online and in person, to find some new luggage. What I like is either horribly expensive (I am a teacher after all!), or not quite right. Technically, there is nothing wrong with the suitcases I have, but they are just getting old & dingy looking. Then the other day it hit me: why not paint my luggage! It would be exactly what I want, and even if it's not, well, I was looking to buy new when I started!
Day One: I painted my beloved Denver bronco logo & some patterns. The big hearts are myself (purple) and husband (red). Just the colors I think of when I think of us - nothing too deep there! I think I'm going to love it!

Day Two: I added my favorite KC Royals baseball team logo and my alma mater Wichita State University. The two big hearts are the birthstone colors of my children, and the smaller colored hearts are their spouses' and children's birthstones. Patterns around the edging. Live, Laugh, Love. It's slow going, but I guarantee you won't see another one like mine at the airport!

 

Painting Shoes

I LOVE painting shoes! They are a fun, inexpensive way to enhance any wardrobe. I just finished these commissioned Mother/Daughter shoes for an upcoming baby shower. How cute are they!

I got on a sports kick right before Christmas & made myself some shoes to wear.

Go Royals!

Go Broncos!
