One of my favorite modern/Instagram artist to teach about is Chris Riggs, his work is simple but edgy and has a great message of love. I decided to use his layering style in a cut paper collage project for my middle school students. I used a video to demonstrate the cutting technique and once they got that, the rest was history.   Supplies needed: 12x18 Black or white construction paper 5x5 inch construction paper variety of colors Scissors Glue Pencil and eraser   Loved how students tried new shapes to create their design.

Well, I don't know if you all have been affected by the school closings yet, but here in Michigan we are shut down for the next 2-3 weeks.  I am so glad that I started learning how to create videos and started this blog. My goal is to use this time to really update art lessons and share as much as I can. I am posting on Facebook, YouTube and Instagram. The hardest part is working with limited supplies. I know many of my students may not have a variety of things at home, so I am challenging myself to create simple lessons with simple tools. Feel free to use this March drawing challenge for your kiddos, if it looks like we are moving into late April with our closer, then I will add another challenge. In the mean time stay creative and stay well. Here is my first video for art at home using markers, paper, brush and water.
