1st Grade Paper Weaving

1st graders got their first weaving lesson and wow look at the colorful results!  I was very impressed, this can be a hard lesson for young students, but this year's group did a fantastic job!

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!

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!

Last OP Art of the Year!

Our 3rd graders have been working hard on their OP art circle projects, I was so impressed I took lots of pictures of them! We began by making a grid, then added about four circles that will pop out at you and students chose their alternating colors themselves. I was really impressed how quickly everyone caught on and look at the great results!
