Have I got something for you, y'all! Check this out: Finish the Drawing! I explain it real quick in this video but more details on the supplies used and how it works below... I got this idea because of the following: * I got lots of paper scraps. Like, LOTS. So this helps me not waste any of that paper! * I got lots of kids who wanna do Free Draw but LOOK HERE: my art classes are 30 minutes long! And we all know how they be treatin' that paper that they draw on for a minute and then toss in…

Well, my friends. The time has come...it's back to school we go! For many of us, anyway. I know some of y'all kept on teachin' until, like, the end of June which is absolutely WILD to me. First of all, the temperature here in Tennessee during that time of year is literally the surface of the sun. I cannot imagine trying to teach, let alone put kids on a bus, in that type of heat. And, second, let's be real: I'm tapped out come May. Okay...I'll be for-real for-real...I'm tapped out the week…

I’ve been teaching art for over 15 years and have taught every grade, K-12. In those years I have made resources and handouts helpful for the art room, contained classrooms, or homeschool parents.

I just need a moment to swoon folks! My classroom has been a work in progress since August and I finally have it flowing and set up where we are able to totally enjoy it.

Makes for a totally blessed day, blessed way of life, and I am deeply grateful to the big guy upstairs for the gift. My 6th Graders have been learning to isolate contour lines and then…

Ashley | Artsy Blevs | Art Teacher on Instagram: "It’s that time of year…when teachers start sharing classroom decor, must haves, shopping lists, and the temptation to compare ourselves to strangers on the internet can start to creep in. Remember- whether you have a “Pinterest-worthy” classroom full of everything you could ever need to teach, a classroom full of the old teacher’s dusty stuff they left behind, or no room at all, your students will remember YOU not your decorations. 💖 What…

Hey there, friends! I come to you just as excited as this photo from Monday because...it's a three day weekend. Here's to staying in my pj's all weekend, watching The Office for the umpteenth time and working on all the projectzzzz. I hope you all are livin' it up and partyin' hard like me! To kick off the week, I wore my needle felted Kandinsky inspired dress to inspire my third graders as they started painting their plates for our Circle Loom Weaving unit. I've got several weaving videos…
