Collaborative art in action—my second graders are turning poster-size paper into an organic cobblestone street. We start with simple organic shapes, layer on paint with dipping, speckling, and sponging, and then finish with oil pastel leaves drifting across the stones. It’s messy, it’s magical, and it’s the perfect fall project to get students thinking about texture, detail, and collaboration. #elementaryart #artteacherlife #collaborativeart #artclassideas #fallartproject #artteacherofinstagram

Donut underestimate the power of printmaking. This flipped lesson lets students work independently to create mixed media donuts using cut pool noodles and tempera paint. Each print turns into a masterpiece of texture, color, and value—proof that art can be sweet and skillful at the same time. Supplies: Tempera paint, cut-up pool noodles, glue bottles filled with tempera paint, pennies, popsicle sticks, paint brushes. #elementaryart #artteacher #arteducation #artlesson #printmaking #donutart #mix

Looking for an engaging elementary art lesson that explores shape, pattern, and cultural appreciation? This third grade project is inspired by the beauty of concentric shapes and the traditional use of dots in global art forms. We traced our hands and explored radial design using colorful dots, while learning how cultures like the Indigenous Australians, the Yoruba of Nigeria, and the Matis in Canada use repeated shapes and dots in meaningful ways. This hands-on project helps students build fine

How do you teach realistic, abstract, and non-objective art in a way that actually makes sense to 5th graders? Here’s my favorite hands-on approach. After introducing the three terms in simple, student-friendly language, we choose one topic and create three thumbnail sketches: one realistic, one abstract, and one non-objective. Students explore how the same idea can completely transform depending on style, choices, and composition. Then we conference one-on-one to reflect, refine, and select the

Another Valentine’s Day art lesson that looks complex but is secretly so simple. This one works beautifully for primary students and easily stretches into third through fifth grade. All it takes is a 9 x 9 square and a little line magic. Students draw a heart, add intersecting lines, and suddenly math and art are having a moment. We count the shapes inside the heart, and color each shape a different color. Then we count the shapes outside the heart. Every tiny shape gets its own color, which is
