Very unfinished, but colored pencil takes so long

Very unfinished, but colored pencil takes so long, especially with arthritic hands. I wasnt supposed to burnish, but it was so hard to remember. I haven't decided what I will do with the body. #coloredpencil #drawing #frog or is it? surrealism #artoninstagram #art #nature #artteacherlife

Practicing character expressions before I try to teach it for our Character Design Unit in Drawing 2. At this point, I’m just trying to engage the kids and fight the Google Meet fatigue we are all feeling now. This image will go into my lesson slideshow. #highschoolartteacher #characterdesign #drawexpressions #cartoon #manga #comic #digitalart #drawfaces #characterart #characterillustration #characterconcept #artteacherlife #artteacher

And here is my demo from Drawing 2 as we work on the assessment for our figure drawing unit. I combined this unit with my color theory and colored pencil units because COVID and remote learning. I personally wanted to challenge myself with making black more dynamic with complementary colors. This is still in progress and I messed up on the face, but that became a lesson in persistence and resilience for my students. We all make mistakes and it just means we are pushing ourselves to grow.

Unintentionally freaky in-progress shot of gouache portrait demo. AP Art students wanted to focus more on "extreme expressions" but we ran out of time to finish today.

Practicing sketching male faces—fitting in a teensy bit of art for me after a week of painting the walls of my house (entryway and 2nd floor hallway—I hate painting ceilings, but it all looks soooo much better). #drawing #sketching #artteacherlife #graphite #watercolorpencil #draw #sketch #pencildrawing #practicemakesperfect #portrait

In AP Art class, we were inspired by the @markcrilleyreal video on composition and decided to practice landscapes through our own kinesthetic cut paper compositions. It was totally not what I planned, but we just went with it and I think it helped with experimentation and their overall understanding . Swipe for a sample composition. #artteachers #artteacherlife #apartanddesign #drawing #composition #artclass

I’ve been busy with wrapping up grades for last

I’ve been busy with wrapping up grades for last quarter and getting the new quarter started (1 unpaid day turn around plus a weekend—fun times). So , not too much time for personal art. These #iriscompietfaeryworkout faeries took awhile to complete because I had to do them a few minutes here, a few minutes there. So hard not to get fiddley with them and overwork the paint. #faerie #faefolk #fairy #watercolors #illustration #painting #artteachers #artistsoninstagram #schoolism

Sooo, I only planned to do one today, but they were so much fun to do (and are timed anyway, so fairly quick).Lots of flaws, but also lots of practice.

As a little Christmas gift to myself, I enrolled in #Schoolism for #iriscompietfaeryworkout. I adore Iris’s @iriscompiet work, and look forward to learning from her videos. The lessons have you copy her work, so these are my versions of her works—great for practice (only). I pre-drew this week’s lessons and hope to fit in more personal daily art time by painting them. #watercolor #painting #faery #fairy #gnome

Who else loves contour drawing? This is my model for students. Modified blind continuous contour line with a range of value added with hatching and cross-hatching. Simple projects that hits quite a few learning standards. #drawing #inkdrawing #blindcontour #highschoolartteacher #highschoolart #art #artteacherlife #artteachersofinstagram
