Line Hands

My fourth and fifth graders completed this fun project recently when I had a substitute teacher in the art room.  They looked at artist M.C. Escher’s “Drawing Hands” for inspiration, and drawing all those straight lines gave them some good practice using their rulers too!

Special thanks to fellow South Elementary Art Teacher Mrs. Nienhouse  for this project idea!

Twenty-one Boxes

A recent cleaning frenzy in my home studio unearthed a cool book filled with tiny little boxes to make.  The boxes are covered with designs by one of my favorite artists, M.C. Escher.  I spent a lazy summer afternoon popping out and folding up the boxes – some were quite challenging to fold!  Take a look…I think the boxes will soon become a hanging mobile for our Georgetown Art Room!
