Fruit and Flowers:
I colored in the sketch that I showed you here. I mostly used colored pencils, watercolor pencils and watercolor paints.
A Mouse:
My 5th/6th graders are painting animals and my go-to demo is always a mouse or hamster. I love cute rodents. The kids are always astounded when I show them how to make furry texture with a fan brush! So fun. Do you have go-to images you use when demonstrating techniques?
Me:
Here I am at 33 weeks pregnant! Time is ticking away. Hopefully the sooner the better! I’m going on maternity leave starting when our Spring Break starts, which is the third week in April. I probably will have the baby sometime that week (I know I will be induced during that week most likely.) Then, I will be off for the rest of the school year (6 weeks until summer break). It will be nice to have the whole summer to get adjusted to a new baby and routine. I still managed to blog when I had my first daughter, during naptimes.. well, she would only sleep on my lap in a sling, but I still had some time. I’m hoping I will have time to blog when I’m off of work… I have lots of pictures to show you of projects we’ve done this year at school.
