Liquid Watercolors

The art room goes through MANY markers in a school year. After much use, they dry up. 

Here's a way to squeeze a little more out of your collection of dried up markers. Liquid watercolor. 

Sort your markers into general color families, use the lids for those cute marker cap critters 

(see my posts from May 22nd and 24th) and soak the tips in water for a day or two. 

The results are an intense liquid watercolor. 

Beautiful!

Marker Cap Critters

I have a million dried up markers in the art room. Seems wasteful to just throw them away 

so I collected the lids and look what the second graders made using paper, glue and 

pipe cleaners - little finger puppets. How cute are these!

It's a Bugs Life

Second graders used Model Magic to create dimensional bugs. 

First they learned how to draw large blades of grass to look like one is in front and one is behind.

Then they used the colored clay to make their bugs.

They had fun mixing colors and creating a fanciful bug world. 

It's a bugs life!

Happy Mother's Day!

Thank you to every Mom for all that you do.
