AFRICA: Art Inspired by Africa

Each week I teach art to about 700 elementary school students. We just completed our African Art Unit and nearly 1100 pieces of art is hanging around the school. Let's just say everyone is going on a safari each day as they walk through the building. As usual, I am THRILLED with the creativity that came from my students! We continue to develop our pieces until they reach that "aha" moment and then it gives me GREAT PLEASURE to hang them for all to see. Very soon I'll post a wonderful slide show that showcases our African inspired art. And, equally exciting to me, very soon I"ll post the African Art  book for teachers and art enthusiasts on my website. I can't wait to share it with art teachers all over the world! Next up, art reflecting the colorful part of the world known as Central and South America! I can't wait to have my students develop art reflecting the culture and creativity of Ecuador, Mexico, Grand Cayman, Puerto Rico, and other Central and South American Countries. Viva! That's all I have to say about that! Stay tuned for the amazing African Art Show that will be posted on this blog! It's been a tad busy lately. My middle son got married last weekend and we are wrapping up all kinds of awesome things at school as this is our last week! Peacocks and Rainbows is going to take a giant leap forward this summer!
