Each year I provide an extra credit opportunity for my students using an art drawing challenge. You can read about how I have used these art challenges in past years here.
This year due to social distancing protocols, collecting the extra credit will look a little different. I have set up Google Forms where students can upload photographs of their artwork. I plan to post this form in our Google Classroom for a one week period so that students have the opportunity to submit any or all of the extra credit they may have done.
I’ve spent the last few weeks trying to come up with a plan to reorganize certain parts of my apartment. I have been living there for a few years and kinda dropped the ball on some projects that I didn’t finish when I first moved in. I started off with my art room/office.
I tackled the closet first to see what art supplies I had, and organized everything by adding in a metal shelf. I also spray painted everything gold to match the decor with the rest of the house.
When cleaning, I realized that I had QUITE the extensive collection of small acrylic paints from over the years. When it came to my acrylic paint collection, I needed to come up with a solution to find colors quickly. I ordered these plastic baskets from Amazon and spray painted them gold. I used Rustoleum’s Metallic Gold which I ordered from Target.
Once the baskets were ready to hang, I used regular screws (keeping in mind their length so that they did not poke through the door) on either side of basket where their first hole was. I used a level to make sure each basket was hung straight.
Once the first basket was hung, it was easier to match up the sides and screws. Once they were all up I was ready to start adding my paints!
I still need to paint the screws gold so they blend in
I can’t wait to finish the rest of the office! Check my instagram this week for pics of the results!
