Hi everybody, welcome to my new blog. This will be a place we can keep news about the art room, pictures of our field trips (this spring) and other useful things. It can also be a place where students and parents can find useful links to art museum sites and kid-friendly art-related websites. I might even post to it when I am traveling somewhere - like this summer when I go back to Italy.
I decided to start this blog yesterday when I learned I will not be allowed to access YouTube at school. Personally I think it is a great resource if used properly, and with proper supervision.
I was intending to use this technology because the clay animation software we have just started using in Art II has placed all their tutorials on YouTube. Also, my students totally expect their great animations to be on YouTube for the world to enjoy. So, this is the best/fastest solution I can come up with. I'll figure out how to transfer the animations to my home computer or notebook, and I'll put them on YouTube from there, then I will post them onto this blog. I will first post the tutorials to the blog.
Another reason I will use this blog is to post pictures of student art project. I'm an artist and have my own art blog and website, and I can't resist putting pictures of student work there. So perhaps this will help me focus my own art blog better.
So now, back to school (it is Saturday, I hope I can manage to not set off the alarms like I did last weekend!) and set up the surprise I have for Art II.
