It's Starting to Look Like Halloween

Cumberland is starting to look very Halloween-y! These adorable pumpkins made by our ELS classes are greeting visitors by the office door. They look fantastic nestled in the colorful autumn leaves made by our 2nd graders in Mrs. Huffman's class.

Below is a link to a fun video we've been watching with some very opinionated jack-o-lanterns. Enjoy!

Parent Technology Night at Cumberland

Tonight is Parent Technology Night at Cumberland School! Mrs. Dooley-Taylor and I are presenting "Free Websites for Parents"

One of the coolest websites I've found is xtranormal.com! You can make your own video animation using their animated characters speaking the text you type. This could be really fun for you to try!

Click on the link below to see what I made (in less than 10 minutes)!

Art Is Freedom

Getting ready to start some great new learning experiences in the art room. This video shows some famous art in a fun new way!

Proof That You Can Draw Anything and Make It Amazing!

Summer is winding down, and I've been busy painting ALOT! I've painted 36 paintings since the end of June! I will be sharing them with you soon.

Here is a fun video of an artist drawing the shadows he created when crumpling a paper. I love to watch artists work. I hope you do too!

Keep Drawing!

Here is an awesome video that shows different drawing styles. When you link different pictures together it creates animation. Hopefully it will inspire you too!
