Happiness in each new tab...
A while back a blog post came through my reader that seemed interesting (you can read it here). Richard Bryne was sharing the awesome Google Chrome extension that allows you to enjoy a new art image every time you open a new tab.

Animated Drawings
So I have a cousin who is a CRAZY, TALENTED artist. Her name is Catherine Meier and she makes the most beautiful drawings of the prairie and she animates them (you can check her out here).
Our 6th grade classes started our latest project by watching her "Plains Projection." The students then drew the prairie, focusing on the sky and grass that surrounds our town. When they were done, we used the app iMotionPro to make something appear in their drawings. As this was their first time with stop motion drawing so their drawings are a bit short.

I put their drawings together into iMovie to make these fun video's.

Radial Printmaking
My students do their printmaking on Nasco's Safety Kut which has two usable sides. We used the first side for our Joan Miro Microscopic prints. For the back side I had the students "start at a corner" and make a design. We then printed their design 4 times to create a radial design. I love them...

inspirARTion
inspirARTion is a free Google app that I have fallen in love with.
You can download it at the Google store.
I love that this app is designed for helping students draw images using the lines of symmetry. You can select the horizontal line of symmetry, the vertical line of symmetry or several number of multiple axis' for radial symmetry. The students love creating with it and I love seeing what they do. Here are a few projects we have done with it.
