Today I am featuring Karen Bosch on the 5th installment of the Art Teacher Showcase.
2) Last year was my FIRST year teaching elementary art at Southfield Christian School in Southfield, Michigan USA. However, I am not a new teacher – I spent many years teaching third grade and for about 10 years have been the technology teacher for K – 8. Because of budget issues, I spent the previous year teaching 5th grade and last year teaching art and technology. I started following many art blogs to help me learn about teaching art and to get inspiration for projects. My blog features both technology and art projects and many projects combine both areas!
3) One of my best projects from the year was creating papier maché penguin online story books! The project combined a papier maché art project with story writing and photography and audio recording using an iPod! The art project is blogged here (

4) My favorite book to help inspire art ideas has been the Usborne Complete Book of Art Ideas (
http://amzn.to/kL86k1). Over 400 cool ideas that can be adapted to all kinds of projects!
5) My favorite product in the art room is not anything unique. It is the black Sharpie marker! I have been using them in all kinds of projects. A Sharpie outline helps make any project POP!
Here are some more pictures from Karen’s blog:
