Creativity Takes Courage

I got this from a repin of Phyl's on Pinterest.  This is from the blog, "Think, Create, Art."

Art in Bloom

Here's a hand painted bulletin board.  I haven't gotten around to doing one of those in ages, but I sure think they are gorgeous.  I'm inspired.

This is from Color for Everyone.

Showcase...with Recycling

I Googled "art education" and "apron."  Phyl's blog popped up with a post about....APRONS!  And then this one popped up with a post  about.....BULLETIN BOARDS!  Yay!

I love this one and will definitely be stealing the idea.  This is from the blog:  Art is Basic.

Back to School - Food Theme

These ideas were sent to me from Amy Kratochvil, K-6 Art Teacher, Big Bend Elementary. Thanks so much, Amy!

 Notes from Amy:  Each year, our building has a school-wide theme.  We've done music, animals, sports, colors, ocean, etc... but this year is food!  We are Hungry For Learning!  For my art room (and the many display spaces in the hallway), I love incoporating the theme into my bulletin boards.  

"Art Room" is the bulletin board everyone sees when they walk in my room.  Each popcorn container at the bottom includes art vocabulary words.

"Hallway-Kids" is a rasterized image of The Scream and the speech bubble says "Summer is over?!?".  The next speech bubble is going to say "Parent/Teacher Conferences are next week?!?" 

"Hallway-teachers" I believe is stolen from another website, but it went with our food theme so well, I just had to use it!

"Magnetic Wall" is a selection of scrapbook papers (cheapest posters EVER!) that go with the theme and provide a large pop of color.

Thanks for putting together such a great website!

National Arts in Education Week - Back to School

I needed to put up a new showcase for "Back to School Night."  Luckily, it was during National Arts in Education Week.  I love when I get to do some arts advocacy!

I got several compliments on the showcase, but I know it was because I used my secret weapon.  Glitter!!!!!!!!!!   Get's 'em every time!

"It's the Color Circus"

This board is from the blog, "The Crayon Lab."  She has multiple bulletin boards from her art room, so go take a look.
