Mud Pies & Mulberry Juice - art lessons inspired by nature

My first memory of creating art was making Mudpies under the mulberry tree. The gooey mud made with earth and rainwater was the perfect consistency to create rows of Mudpies, displayed like a bakery of culinary delights. The "bakery"- an abandoned corn crib. Decorations- acorns and corn kernels. My lessons are inspired by nature through the subject matter as well as making tools to create art. Lessons will be from K-middle school.

Castle Collographs

Castles were the inspiration for my Middle School collograph project.

The base of the plate was made from squares of corrugated cardboard,( recycled from moving boxes).

Castles were researched and designed by each student.

I collected cereal boxes, etc. to be used to make the layers of the castles.

Castle pieces were cut from cereal box cardboard.

These were assembled with white glue .

When dry, they were inked with printers ink.

Prints were pulled.
