In the Art Studio is saying goodbye for now...
I hung up my apron today. I am retired and must cease this blog with my school district. I think I will continue at some point because I love to put these mini lessons together and new ideas are always presenting themselves to me. I think the blog will look different though. I am not sure what will unfold. I will look at life and see what might be worthy of sharing.
In the meantime, I will be presenting TAB inspired professional development and will continue to sell my Artifact Assessment Books for grades 1-5. I appreciate you and wish you the very best...you do important work. If you need to get in touch with me, contact me at:

Bye Bye......
The lesson today is about something that you can use in every studio. We are going to talk about how artists see line. This year, we talked about the artist, Andy Goldsworthy, we could see that he used line in his work. See it here...
So what does line look like when we think about our studios at school?

How can you use line to get your idea across to others. Art is all about sharing ideas, thoughts, problems!
