Art Room tour.. Pt two

As promised! More pictures. Things are finally coming together. Below is my door. The window was a last minute touch once I realized I had vinyl cling. 

The chart is for when each class receives a star (this is our positive behavior system) for every 9 stars the class gets- we have an art party, which is a free choice centers day. They LOVE THIS and compete with all the other classes. I made my window look like a paint palette. I'm pretty happy with it. I leave happy notes on the white board like "be sweet!" The kids thing it's cute. 

Stole this from Pinterest. I needed a way I direct my early finishers without having to repeat myself 30 times. On the last one I'll add a rainbow board with options including the observation station and writing an artist statement. 

These are paper 3d forms I made that hang above the table and serve several purposes. 1. Color codes the tables. 2. It tells the kids what their jobs are. The jobs are velcro'd on so I can change the jobs every 9 weeks. 3. This should also keep the kids from picking the tape off the table. 

I was at a loss what to do with this bulletin board that's right behind my desk. I decided to use the rainbow chevron pattern to write the essential questions. I may go back and add paint

Splats- just to make it a little more interesting. 

This is a partial view of my classroom from my desk. You can sort of see the cubes hanging. 

Still much to do but I feel like I've got a good hang on it so far. Tomorrow is an inservice for art teachers in the county. It's pretty cool that we all get spend time feeding off each other's creativity. 

4 (week!) days til the start of the school year.
