3rd Grade 3-D Robots

After learning about how to draw lots of 3-D forms, our students designed their own robots, gave them a job, and a place to live!  I love how colorful their paintings turned out to be!

Mondrian Abstract Art

After studying the artwork of Piet Mondrian, our 3rd graders created their own, and I'm proud of the great job they did!

Aborigine Art

2nd Graders have been studying music, instruments, and art from Australia.  This project took us awhile, but what cool results!  Take a look at our Australian Aborigine Art!

Paint Monsters!!!

1st Graders have been going monster crazy! First the wild things came to visit, now we're being attacked by paint monsters! Students used watered-down tempera paint to choose their monster colors, and we used straws to blow the colors across the paper instead of a brush! Each piece is unique, and the addition of construction paper collage pieces adds personality! I hope you enjoy them as much as the kids loved making them!

First Animoto Video

I recently learned of a neat way to add some sparkle to student artwork on display!  Animoto lets you take pictures you have saved on your computer (or other file sharing services) and place them into a video complete with animation, music, and text!  It took me about five minutes to plop this one together this morning, but WOW!  I can't wait to make some more!  Enjoy!

Make your own slideshow with music at Animoto.

Special thanks to Leslie Shamblin for showing our school how EASY this is to use!

Rousseau Lions

After studying the life and work of Henri Rousseau, our third graders created their own jungle art and overlapped layers of jungle to hide their lions.  Some of these are amazing, and the students worked very hard on them!
