art blogs

I have never blogged outside of art education department purposes so I decided today to look into some art blogs and was pleasantly surprised! (yet another way to avoid doing homework!) I actually found some blogs with artists that I will probably be using in lesson plans either for my Unit or in my student teaching, and teaching in the future.

One blog in particular that I loved was DRAWN! It's an art and illustration blog

One of my lesson plans focuses on bedtime stories and illustration so I found the illustrations particularly helpful on this blog. An artist I really enjoyed was a logo designer named Chris Gardner. He did the logo for a game called Letter By Letter which is a great combination of scrabble, boggle, and risk! The logo is so eye catching that before I even looked into the artist I found the game and played it (it's great).

The game is awesome if you happen to like word games! It's fun and a mental work out.

I am really excited to have discovered so many art blogs. I will definitely keep perusing for future use in life and lesson planning.
