Pallet Bookcases for the Artroom

Started a new project for our artroom this week.  Saw something similar on Pinterest, but wanted it to make sense in our room and to be able to use it as a teaching tool.  After having my husband cut the pallets apart the rest was up to me.  I sanded and primed each one, then used complementary colors for the base and different values of each color as circle/stripe accents.  Once again I asked for the help of my wonderful husband to hang them in our room.  They turned out even better then I thought.  Now all of our art books are easily accessible for all students!

m "ART" ch madness

With March madness upon us, we decided to create our own art bracket.  The entire school K-5th voted week after week to narrow down to our final winner.  Some brackets were very close, while some were quite one-sided.  By the end our Champion for the 2015 m"ART"ch madness was the one and only "Starry Night", by Vincent VanGogh.  Can't wait to see who makes the bracket next year!
