2nd grade artists in their relaxing tree-making groove… shhhh. #cobbartrocks #artsedga @FordEScobb @TPT_Official #elementaryart #artteacher

@mshongsclass @FordEScobb Thank you so much! Chalk pastels actually! Blending is easier but messier, IMHO, lol!

@ArtClassStudio @FordEScobb Oil pastels? The spheres look fantastic!

I might be a little biased, but 4th pastel + toothbrush star splattered planets are kinda out of this world! @FordEScobb #artsedga #cobbartrocks

Spray paint optional on our Jasper Johns-inspired American flags… messy, gritty, mixed media layers coming together perfectly imperfect and beautiful. #cobbartrocks #artsedga @FordEScobb

2nd Grade ‘recycled materials’ stamped structures… knocking my socks off with their creativity! #cobbartrocks #artsedga @FordEScobb

These might be some of my all time favorites. Recycled cardboard. Access to normal color-adding materials. Mountain theme. One day. Demonstration of a few tips, tricks, ideas and let ‘em go. I kinda wanted to keep them all. #cobbartrocks #artedga @FordEScobb #recycledart

Finishing up hopefully a new collaboration tradition! The kids made herbal tea in EE from our @FordEScobb garden herbs, 2 drink out of mugs made with our mad hand-building clay skills! Way to go 5th grade artists! Pinky out, drink your tea! #cobbartrocks #artsedga #elementaryclay

Wonderful lesson learned, happy accident, beautiful “oops.” Student missed some instructions + therefore was not really following instructions. I let it play out + it ends up that he probably inspired an entirely new project! More to come! #cobbartrocks #artsedga @FordEScobb

Before Thanksgiving break, I had a shortened class with 4th grade, so we got out some options… free-style notans and “backtrack” to Kindergarten to recreate your Kinder turkey were two options… the results were highly entertaining! #cobbartrocks #artsedga @FordEScobb

I guess this display will come down tomorrow… 5th grade Blind / Semi-Blind / Realism Value Skulls and a little 4th grade glue pastel pumpkins… we’ve enjoyed a little creepy in the hallway! #cobbartrocks #artsedga @FordEScobb

2nd rocking that #overlapping , #expression and #mixedmedia #collage in a crazy fun pumpkin package! #cobbartrocks #artsedga @TPT_Official #teacherspayteachers

The pivot when messy paint steps are planned on pretty clothes picture day (we’ll catch up next class)- expression designed for younger + embraced by 3rd! The stories + creative randomness + brilliance were hilarious!! #cobbartrocks #artsedga @FordEScobb @TPT_Official

5th grade warmed up for an awesome year w “wave” doodles (line, movement, repetition) and value- almost complete engaged silence! Check out their creativity!! Do you see the Pringles man?! This is also one of their options for @Square1Art #cobbartrocks #artsedga @TPT_Official

I’m using all of my willpower to post pics in order and not just skip to the finished pics… these chickens are already fired and my goodness, they are INCREDIBLE! But first, a few pics from glazing days… #cobbartrocks #artsedga @FordEScobb #artteacher

This post is a tease- wait ‘til y’all see these cuties all glazed and shiny! First time with the clay chickens… I think these might need to stay around for years to come! Did I tell you that our Ford 4th and 5th graders are chicken experts?! #cobbartrocks #artsedga @FordEScobb

Making up for lost time of not posting some incredible work by the @FordEScobb artists! This is the start of #recycled 5th wrapped sculptures started in January. We’ve taken breaks for show prep + clay- cannot wait to share the transformations this week! #cobbartrocks #artsedga

Draw Like A #scientist Snails! These sure are some cute informative snails! #cobbartrocks #artsedga @TPT_Official #tptseller @FordEScobb

Evening in the Garden + @FordEScobb art show last night- actually remembered to get pics as set-up finished! So grateful for our incredible lil’ artists + supportive community. The performances + dances were just amazing. Endless smiles, even in the rain! #cobbartrocks #artsedga

Romare Bearden-inspired collages! A few weeks ago I was out + emphasized the guideline of not cutting a whole face out of a magazine intact + using it as the face for their musician (have to change it up). So this Jedi of loopholes found a way. Quite impressive. #cobbartrocks

I can’t think of a more perfect and uplifting artist than Alma Thomas to inspire some nature-based abstract art with a personal story… each kiddo has one to share! I’m so in love with all of ‘em! #cobbartrocks #artsedga @FordEScobb @TPT_Official #BlackHistoryMonth2024
