An Artist I am loving right now is:

KatieDaisy

She works with watercolor and acrylic paints.  She paints a variety of quotes and scenes that reflect nature in some manor.  I have noticed her on Oprah, Pbteen, and Target. 

Her artwork is very uplifting and cheerful, which makes me smile in return.  Check out her Etsy site as well, she sells prints of her work in different sizes as well as calendars and such.

Here is some of her artwork below

Valentines Day Heart Weavings

These pictures our a little dark and I didn't take many of them, but I wanted to show my appreciation toward my first grade students artwork.  

The students had fun stamping different items onto their piece of paper they got the week before.  They made circles and squares, hearts and stars, and they also put some very random animal stamps on their paper just for fun.  We used purple, white, and red as our holiday colors and I think they turned out pretty good!!!

At the very end of the project I laminated they hearts so they would stay together and the students didn't have to worry about glueing pieces down.  Overall it was a very quick project that I would do over again in a couple of years!!!!!  Always looking for new Valentine Projects though!!

WERE GETTING INSPIRED BY ANDY WARHOL

My Junior high students painted these POP ART themed paintings using the techniques Andy Warhol used in his paintings.  The students loved using the neon paint and candy as their subject for the week!
