Painting A Day Adventures

Here are some photos from class time working on our very first oil paintings. Inspired by the painting-a-day movement, we had to create 3 small 6x6 in paintings based on one to two object still-lifes.

Creative US History Projects

In my US II class I've had the opportunity for a few creative projects. These are always a lot of fun for me. Most traditional teachers tend to avoid the artsy projects but those are what I enjoy best. Here are a couple from the past few weeks. The first project is a social media account for a historical figure. I chose to create an instagram account for financial mogul J.P. Morgan. I found an amazing insta template that someone had posted on adobe and was able to make it in photoshop in a matter of minutes. The second project is for Teddy Roosevelt's birthday. I made a brownie pan, covered it in fudge, and arranged butterscotch, milk, and white chocolate chips on top to look like his head.
