China

Lately we have been studying Chinese architecture, Blue Willow china, and painting. It has been so fun. Here are a few pictures of some of the projects. The Blue Willow china plates I saw on line probably 4.5 years ago. Actually about the time the Summer Olympics were in Beijing. I did a few China art lessons then but recently I was inspired to do it again this time and add several new ideas.
Take a look.

He Called Me a Hippie

 Yep. I'm OK with that title  too. I posted on FB last Friday that I was done tie dying with my first of six classes of 5th graders. And Todd's response was "Hippie". Don't we all have those moments? You feel a little "hippie" and drag out your old t-shirts to dye. No? Well I did, but because at my new school it is a 5th grade tradition.

I didn't want to break this tradition so we got our tie dye on this week.
Here are a few pictures of the first and last class I worked with.
