Hi, I am an artist, wife, mom, gamer and the Elementary Art Educator at Donald Elementary, a sweet and wonderful school in Flower Mound, TX (outside of Dallas). This is a great place to see how we are integrating studio habits with technology and interdisciplinary connections. I also love to share my "wisdom" (Re: Experiences. From mistakes.) about teaching Elementary Art. I love what I do, and I've been doing it for a long time. Creating and teaching Art is what I live for. Enjoy.

  1. My 2nd graders are making Canopic Jars right now. To make the bottom part I had them fill a foam cup with clay and use a plastic spoon to scoop out the middle. You can see the results by following this link: (The heads also turned out very well and cute!

  2. Oh holey moley those are great! What a cool idea, I really love the internal organs.

    I use White Modeling clay (not the air dry, although that stuff is great too) for our hand building, I have noticed it's more durable than others, plus I like the white after it's fired :)
