3 Little Pigs

Here is a simple 1st grade project that just makes me smile!

Dotted Flowers

My 3rd graders made these dotted flower paintings.  I told them if they did their best I'd frame them for the art show.  The room was so quiet as they focused on making their projects look amazing!  

Monet Waterlilies

We are super busy getting our "framed" art show projects ready.  The first grade made these Monet inspired paintings.  They look so professional when they are in a picture frame.  

Most successful Art 1 project yet...

When I introduced this projects my Art 1 students couldn't quite grasp what I wanted them to do.  FInd a picture (of almost anything), draw it, paint it with watercolors, trace every "puddle" with a thin black sharpie marker.  This project really showed what students payed close attention to detail.  I framed a few of them and hung them in the library and high school office.  Here are some of the results....

Owl Silhouettes

This was supposed to be a Halloween themed project, but we didn't have much time to complete what I originally planned.  So, instead we made owls as our subject.  We used watercolor paints and permanent markers.  

I'm on a swing!

Radial Leaf Designs

Fifth graders used oil pastels and watercolor paints to create these radial leaf designs.  I love adding sparks of the season throughout the school!
