Kimmy Cantrell inspired masks?! It's exactly what 2nd grade was doing before we left for "Homeschool" :)

"Got cardboard? Here's a fun project to utilize any scrap Amazon or pizza boxes. Parents can help younger children cut out the base or face shape of these masks. Since these are abstract, get creative with your shape. Have your children divide their face into sections with a permanent marker and paint with different colors. Facial features can be cut with scissors using thin cardboard using leftover cereal, soda or cracker boxes. Encourage them to be creative with their shapes for eyes, nose, mouth and ears. These can be colored with markers, oil pastels or paint."

This video "Is Architecture A Good Career?" covers one person's opinion about the job itself.
Downside - he calls everyone "guys" which you know annoys me.

ADVANCED: How to Draw an Excavator: Step by Step

Upper School students: the link to Circle Line Art School under "Other sites to explore" is a tool for more advanced drawing. Learning to being able to SEE what you're drawing is critical. Instead of thinking "yikes, that's too complicated", this artist just drew the excavator, patiently, bit by bit. Being able to control your pencil pressure (draw light until it's right) is also helpful because then you can adjust, erase, and create values with ease. For the rest of us, this drawing is just impressive. Enjoy!

DIY Scratch Art (HGTV Handmade)

This artist used oil pastels, but I have done this lesson with crayon in my classes and it works great too! Just make sure to use tempera paint, and make sure the crayon is heavy pressed, and covers the entire surface first, or your paint won't easily scratch off. Cardboard (like a cereal box), thick paper, card stock, etc would work well for this. 
Enjoy!

 

tape, colored chalk, remove tape... Voila!
