Kari's Fun Art Lessons YouTube channel

Kari Wilson's middle school art, writing, and technology lessons all on a YouTube channel....it's like an art teacher's resource heaven!!! Here's a video of Kari introducing the elements of art by making toast with her students and having a discussion with them about how a work of art is like a toaster..."when all the elements are functioning well the out-come is a complete experience like a a lovely, piece of buttered toast." Middle School Art Projects, High School Art, Art And Technology, Technology Lessons, Art Classroom Management, 8th Grade Art, Principles Of Art, 7 Arts, Wilson Art
Wow, have I been having fun lately! Click on the YouTube link on the video above to see it in full HD. I've wanted to create a set of demonstration videos for my art, writing and technology classes for awhile now. At last, my YouTube channel is up and running. Here's a link to karisfunartlesson channel.
The past few weeks I was out of the classroom for several days on school business. It was great to have demonstration videos prepared for my sub to use.  In fact, I got quite a laugh today when a student mentioned something I'd shown her how to do, insisting that I had been there, when in fact it was just the "digital me." I had to actually show her the video to convince her that I had been gone. I was just glad she paid such close attention to the ceramic glazing steps!
I am adding several videos each week, so check my channel and see if there's anything useful for your own teaching or art making activities!

Breaking Rules

C ontemplating impending retirement, I revisit works of art created by so many students over the years. What a complete joy and privilege ...
