Video Gallery
I find videos to be an amazing educational tool. It allows students to watch at their own pace, they can stop and rewind a video if they are having difficulty with a particular step.
In the classroom, it means I can be in two places at once. During a step-by-step demonstration, students can watch and follow along with the video, while I walk around the room and assist them individually.

I have included here videos from my school YouTube channel. You are welcome to use them as a resource in your own classroom.
Thank you for visiting!

This video is a demonstration of how to make the armature for a stop motion puppet. During this lesson, students watched the video on their chromebooks and followed along while I helped students one on one.
This is a demonstration for my Clay Club of how to use the pottery wheel. I stressed that this lesson was for experience and experimentation, and not to worry if their piece did not turn out the first time.
I broke up this virtual lesson into three parts. The first was reading Mary Blair's Unique Flair, and discussing the color wheel. This video is the next step, where they create their own version of "It's a Small World".
This video is broken up into two parts. One, is about observing and drawing facial features. The second half talks about monochromatic colors. I show how to use markers in place of watercolors.
This is a sample of the Stop Motion animated video lesson for 4th graders. We designed characters, created armature from wire, added clay and felt for the head, body, and limbs. Then, students took a video of their characters in motion!
In this video, I demonstrate how to make the first part of a coil pot. While students were watching this, I called individuals over to take turns on the pottery wheel.
This is a quick behind the scenes for how I made my Forced Perspective sample for 3rd-4th grade virtual learning. The week before we talked about perspective and the vocabulary: foreground, middle ground, and background.
In this video, I talk with students about 2 different color schemes: analogous and complementary. Then I show them how to use these color schemes in their artwork.
For second graders, we focus on folk art from around the world. For this lesson, they learned about the Ukrainian tradition of creating Pysanka. I used crayon and watercolor/ markers for this assignment.
