And the Winner of the Prang Giveaway...

So I entered a lesson plan for the Teaching Palette June Lesson Plan Collaboration and Prang Giveaway and guess what..... it won!

This month they gave away four Prang Art Marker Master Packs, which include 200 washable Prang Art Markers! 

So see that box above, that will be in Trailer 11, how exciting, yes I know!

Now, guess which project I entered...

The Skittles Expressive Portrait Project! 

Yes, all those skittle are coming home to roost in the form of a large box of markers.

Check out the winning Lesson Plan here or see all the other lesson plan entrees here.

Skittles Complete

A hundred pounds and $100 dollars later, we finally finished our expressive Skittle portraits. We took then to the Media Center where people will be less tempted to eat them.. cause your not allowed to eat in the Media Center...

Skittle Art Almost Done

50 pounds latter and we are almost done with our Skittle art portraits. This is a good thing because...

A. I fear for my life if parents need to buy one more bag
B. My budget is dwindling as I try to subsides Skittles
C. My tummy hurts and I think I have a cavity

Skittle Art : Part 2

We're getting there!

Wow, this project is taking longer than I thought. I also under estimated the amount of Skittles it was going to take to complete a portrait!

However, the students are starting to see their faces in the Skittles so they are a little more excited and a little less ready to kill me.. . see previous skittles post.

How to Make Sure Your Art 1 Class Hates You

AKA Skittle Art



We started by taking expressive photos of ourselves... Then, we manipulated the photos in PhotoShop to match Skittle colors.



A little tedious trying to figure out how many Skittle we would need and how large the cardboard should be cut .



But once the hard part is over... well..



All that is left to do is glue down the 2000 or so Skittles...
