Mighty Aphrodite

Some of my former Zero Hour Art Class classmates and I are doing a calendar project for fun. I've got February and this is the start of a goddess of love sort of thing for Valentine's Day. I'll post more of this piece as it progresses.

A House Divided

Good ol' Honest Abe wishing the class a Happy Presidents' Day on the board.

Who watches the watchers?


Watching kids while they sleep? Santa is kind of a creeper who should probably be on the naughty list himself.

Eire go Brach

It was supposed to be King Brian from Darby O'Gill and the Little People, but I think he looks a bit like Bob Hoskins instead.

The light has gone out of my life. X

Teddy also says "The light has gone out of my life. X" to Valentine's Day. 
That's the entry in his journal for February 14, 1884, the day both his wife and mother died within hours of each other, one from typhoid fever and the other from kidney failure two days after giving birth.

So if you had a rough Valentine's Day, just remember Teddy Roosevelt.

Also, all those cutesy teddy bears given out as Valentine gifts seem really bittersweet now, don't they?

MLKing it for all it's worth

Happy Martin Luther King Jr Day! 
Based on my attendance so far today it looks like most of my students have decided to observe the holiday by skipping class.

Merry Christmas and Happy Boxing Day!

I gave my three year old niece an easel for Christmas and drew Santa for her to help break it in.

Santa Claus is Watching You

Another Holiday themed whiteboard doodle.

I wanted to give the kids the impression that Santa was watching them, even if my back was turned to them, kind of like those cardboard cutouts of police cars.

My addition to the board in my classroom for Halloween. It's the Wicked Witch of the West.

Happy Chris Columbus Day!

Happy Columbus Day!
I don't know why Chris Columbus gets his own national holiday, but I suppose "Goonies" is one of the best movies of all time.

Friday the 13th Part 3

A student asked me why I hadn't drawn Jason on the board today, so I quickly whipped one off.

Happy MLK Day!


We have school on Martin Luther King Junior Day and I like to use the occasion to remind students to try to live the dream Dr. King espoused.
I put this on the board and a kid asked me "you mean n*****?"
Yes, I meant that N-word. The challenge lasted all of two minutes.
