I have been a classroom, learning and support, EAL/D and Visual Arts teacher. Also I am a practising artist. I am always looking for creative ways to stretch my classroom budget. My home is Sydney, Australia and I feel privileged to have been able to work full time in education. Here are some ideas I'd like to share with you. I would love you to follow my blog and share your thoughts also!

Snake Skins & Seaweed!
Great for inspiration is the snake skin in the tray, seaweed on the shelf, shorn wool in the tub and shells in the basket. These materials were all donated or simply found in nature, collected on bushwalks, farm visits and trips to the beach. The students love (and sometimes not!) the feel and smell of this wonderful collection in the room. The snake skin can be used as inspiration for becoming aware of and creating the wonderful patterns in nature. The shells and seaweed just fabulous for observational drawing and mixed media artworks. As for the freshly shorn wool...well it feels really unique!
