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!

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!

5th Grade Foreshortening

5th grade students learned about creating artwork that demonstrates how they would look if they were "falling" away from or toward the viewer of their art. Here are 2 videos to showcase the hard work they did.

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!

4th Grade Shading Sneakers

Our 4th graders have been working hard learning about hatching, cross-hatching, and stippling. They did their best to recreate their own tennis shoes using these shading methods instead of colors. Here's how some of them turned out!

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!
