About Me

Paintedpaper: Ohio; I have been teaching elementary art for 16 years in Ohio. I love my job and watching my 650 students enjoy the process of creating. I love incorporating children's literature with art lessons, and anything to do with fun, colorful art. I am a mom to two lovable kids. I love to see fun projects and mix it up to create a new project. If you do post about a project please reference back to my blog. It is great getting comments and feedback to pass along to my students. Thanks for checking it out! Enjoy, Laura
