the work place...

As most of you know, by day, I am Mrs. MacLean: art teacher to around 350 kindergarteners through fifth graders.  I love my job :)
I thought it would be fun to give you a little peek into my classroom and my daily art teaching life!














Thank you for checking out my art room, my messes, my fun!
I am super blessed to have such a fun, rewarding job :)

  1. What lovely images! I love the box collage sculpture thingy (last pic). That's something that I think my preschool students would enjoy.

    2. Louis Nevelson is the artist, I did this with First grade gluing found items onto Popsicle sticks. Her work is really awesome and this is a well done recreation.

  5. Man! If my art classrooms looked like that when I was in school, I would have been more focused. I love your classroom! It's sooooo awesome. I like the 'art around the world' wall. Aw man! Are those the Prang watercolors? I wonder if they sell those at michael's. okay, I'm rambling now, but seriously, awesome room!

  8. This is an amazing post. I wish my work space looked like this! I always wanted to be an art teacher, but my university abandoned our art ed program during my freshman year. Maybe one day I will go back and get a masters degree in Art Ed. Seriously...I dream of having a studio like this and a classroom full of artsy students everyday. You are you lucky!

  13. I am going to teach my first year of 7th grade art this year, and am very focused on art history and drawing inspiration from great artists. I love your use of Munch turned into an elementary friendly(er) look. You should look into Judith Klausner, she is a brand new artist but does low relief in Oreo cookies. I use toothpicks and go through the process kids love it cause the unfrosted side gets eaten and then as you sculpt the frosting you may as well eat that too.
