Weeks of January 25th and February 1st:
Welcome [|Matthew Jones], our Artist in Resident for the next two weeks. Here are some great sites to use in your classrooms the week you will not be coming to Matthew: [|Albright Knox Art Games] - great to use with direct instruction/interaction and a projector for lower grades Origami Folding instruction videos I have downloaded some origami folding videos for the wiki. The first one is a must do for all grade levels - the younger the kids, the larger square of paper you should use. For eMINTS classrooms....An interactive [|Sumi painting] program where students can practice with tools, strokes, and color - a product from this would be great for art night. Lower grades could do this with whole class - would be fun
