I'm keeping it quick today but wanted to share this art website with you. I recently attended an art conference at Disneyland and went to a session about the KQED Art School. KQED is the public broadcasting station in San Francisco and their art school is a source of high-quality, free videos about art and artists in the Bay Area. I really enjoyed watching a few videos during the session!
Most videos are geared toward middle school and high school students but could be good background knowledge even for elementary teachers. They have a series of videos called the Elements of Art E-Book that I look forward to watching so I can do a better job teaching art. The 1st video about line got me thinking about how I could teach that to my firsties.
Next year I want to make paper with my kiddos. I remember doing that when I was in elementary school and it has stuck with me all this time (can you believe I remember that more than a worksheet? Hee! Hee!). The art school has this video about making paper
It looks pretty simple!
The session was lots of fun and I'm enjoying exploring the videos. Thought you might too!
