CSES Art Social

Teachers love art, too!  We had our first CSES teacher art social this week after school.  It is wonderful to come together once the students have gone home and take a moment to ourselves to make something beautiful.  This time we designed and carved some linoleum printing plates and printed them onto paper for cards.  We all used hot pink for our first prints, which we called our test prints.  We all loved our creations so much that we might have another art social to print more and maybe even use them for a clay project!

Take a look at what we made!

Mrs. Sherri just rolled her printing plate with ink, layed it on her paper, burnished (rubbed) the back and is about to pull her first print!

Mrs. Jackie is admiring the print she just pulled... looks great!!

All of the teachers who came to the first CSES Art Social of the year showing off their fabulous new artworks!  Great job ladies!!

Teachers Make Art, Too!!!

Yes... it's TRUE! I love having the teachers come in some afternoons to decompress and have fun with art! The day doesn't always end for us when the students leave so it is important for us to take some time to sharpen the saw through getting creative. Fourth grade will be doing a lesson on positive and negative space by creating gelatin prints using elements of nature (leaves, flowers, vines, etc.). So I invited the teachers to come try out the process after school yesterday. Here is what we did! :)

 

 

I am so excited to do these with fourth grade this Thursday and Friday!
