create a journal page that represents the 1st day of school.....


this for me was an easy challenge since school starts tomorrow for the students in my district....I am a middle school art teacher in the town I live....I believe that I have the best job in the whole school....To go to work and teach students to do things that I love is a treat......I was trying to do 2 things at the same time on this challenge since my time these days has been limited....so I created a page that I will use in another way and you will see as we move on.....


I started painting a mat board with some of my favorite colors......
  
I punched circles in some of my favorite scrap book pages.......

then outlined them with sharpie markers.......and then cut those circle down the center....

I hot glued them down on the dried painted mat  board....

I inserted the board into a vintage frame that I spray painted glossy black....

I gathered some of my favorite supplies.......
 
and glued them down as a mixed media collage page. This framed piece now hangs on my class room door to welcome all my new art students tomorrow for the first day of class.
