Happy Winter!

Here is a snapshot of our backdrop for the winter concert the students made!

Where's Waldo!?

Floating into a great school year!

First project of the year! Bubble drawing with 3rd, 4th and 5th graders!

Our Keller Cougar Mural

The students and I have been busy this school year slowly painting a new mural in our school! We projected our school mascot onto the wall, traced it and added some squares to give it an abstract look!

Last Post of the 2012-13 School Year! Collaborative Painting!

For our last project of the year the kids worked on collaborative paintings. We talked a lot about working together and that everyone’s idea/opinion matters and needs to be respected. Each table had to pick a shape and paint that shape over and over again on a large paper w/black paint. The next step was to add lines to connect the shapes. The next class came in and added color. Each class kept adding more and more until it looked complete. You’ll have to wait until next school year to see the results because we will be hanging them up right at the start of the school year! Thanks to my friend Leah over at whatshappeningintheartroom blog for this idea! http://greenbayartroom.blogspot.com/2012/10/end-of-year-collaboration-project.html

Happy Halloween From Mrs. Bartolazzi's Art Room!

GO PACKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

For those of you that don't know, I teach in GREEN BAY and we couldn't be more proud of our Packers!!!! The excitement in this town is unbelievable. We have the best fans ever! The kids are so pumped at school, I decided to make some cheeseheads in Art class! They LOVED it!

Forget Waldo, Where is Mrs. Bartolazzi?

I've been out on maternity leave the first 12 weeks of school. My sub started the year off the same way I would have, making a giant Where's Waldo wall. Each student made a mini self portrait to add to the wall. Last year, it said, "Forget Waldo, Where is Mrs. Stelmach?"(our principle)...This year my sub changed it to my name! Very thoughtful of her! She made a cute drawing of me holding my baby. The kids love trying to find themselves, their friends, siblings and even Waldo was added too!

Forget Waldo...Where is the principal?

On the first day of Art students each draw a small self-portrait to be part of a giant "Forget Waldo...Where is Mrs. Stelmach?" Students love trying to find her and themselves!
