Art Series: Incredible Art Department

Today for my art series I wanted to tell you about a neat art Website that I discovered.  It is called the Incredible Art Department. 


I honestly was pointed it's way by someone and can't remember who so if it was YOU.. let me know and I'll extend kudos to you.

This is a rather neat site that is just plum full of art lessons and ideas. 

 The Incredible Art Department started at as a showcase for students in Indiana.

It has grown from those humble beginnings to a site full of art lessons and images.  A diverse range of ideas for teachers, educators, artists, parents and students.

Just a fascinating website. 




Check out this partial list of middle school materials

This is just a sample of the list and I find myself wanting to dig in, but I can't until we finish our current art project.  :)     The lad is doing his thing and I'm doing mine, and by the end of it, we'll understand the mountains of Canada better eh?  :)

So let's see... 

They have material for students from elementary up through highschool.  Projects that adults might want to take on, projects for individuals as well as classrooms.  Projects that involve more than pencil, paper or paint.  Imagine using clothing as a vehicle to communicate an art project.    Making Faberge eggs or using a chess board to create art.   

So many interesting projects just waiting for you to take on.

Give it a boo won't you?

Connections and Gratitude, Edition Jan 25, 2017

 
Connections

Counting Pinecones: Finish Line.    Just liked this post.  Bite sized goals are attainable, even in homeschooling.

When you Don't have a math Plan.   This post stimulated my thinking with my boy for math.  Though we are starting a new math program soon...perhaps this will work for the lad well...

Amazing Grace.   Learning the difference between grace and goodwill. 

2 Tim 3:16-17. A reminder of what scripture is good for.

I homeschool so they can be bored.   Boredom is good for you, you know?


Gratitude

1. Subway restaurants... what can I say.   One night I was tired from not sleeping, headachy and not wanting to even think of putting food together, everything seemed far to hard to think about, had to drop a boy off at a youth event and Subway restaurants was right there ... making sandwiches...people were fed.  It was a GOOD thing.  :)

2. Washing machines capable of washing all my pants at one time (especially when one realizes that one has FORGOTTEN to do laundry in the busyness of other life).  SO YEAH!!!   All my pants clean.. I have something to wear tomorrow .. WOOT WOOT!  :)

3. A boy child.  Seriously...this lad makes laugh.   I HAVE to show you this:   And it really wasn't a sad sad thing... we had fun and laughed a lot

4.   Cuddle Blankets.
        When you have a fellow who isn't sleeping well so can't keep himself warm.. cuddle blankets are the very essence of blessing.

 5. Colour on dreary days
       Guess what bloomed!  My Amaryllis!!!!!
