Cumulative List of Art Projects from entire YEAR!

I just compiled this list of all the Art Projects (37!) we've done over the entire school year. Of course, we've done some smaller projects and sketches, etc. leading up to these MAIN projects..but this is the meat of it. :) I am going to start an Art Ed. blog- with my experiences as an Art Teacher, but mostly to keep a good record/catalog of all the projects we've done, and mostly with good quality pictures from these projects (I will even edit the color in the photographs a bit, b/c a lot of photos are taken in flourescent lighting-which makes everything look YELLOW-sick!).

Anyways, for now..here is the list, and I will put the link up to the new Art Ed. blog SOON! Not sure what I'm going to call it..any creative names? Having to do with Elementary Art Classes being a place for Organized Chaos?? Haha..And extremely MESSY!?! Thanks!

P.S.- I know that summer is coming..so that's why I feel I have time to really start this blog w/ nice edited pics of artwork the kids did over the past year..and also to start experimenting and coming up with better lessons/ideas for next year! The summer might just be a catalog of inspirations, etc. :)
