Better late than never. Look what 6th grade made! This was the 6th grades favorite project of the year. Mine too :)

Look what Kindergarten and 1st grade made. Kindergarten focused on texture and space, while creating these fluffy chicks. We talked about how to use a paintbrush to create texture, as well as space and how tall the chick should be compared to actual flowers.
1st grade created the beautiful cows. We discussed space and point of view. These cows were definitely in our personal space :-)

Look what the 2nd grade made for Mother’s Day! They worked very hard to create these beautiful 3-dimensional flowers. They definitely brighten up the halls. Special thanks to one of my 2nd grade student who brought in all of the peanut butter jars used for vases.

Window Flower Boxes
1st grade made these awesome window boxes. We talked about the element of art: Space, and what that means within a composition. Then we discussed different types of flowers and how we could layer them to make our artwork look like it has dept. As always they did great. I hope their mothers love them! Oh, I almost forgot to mention, the 1st grade students wrote a nice note to their mothers on the…

6th grade students just finished up a lesson focusing on their ability to demonstrate value (which is one of the Elements of Art). We started by talking about scales, and looking at a few different images of creatures that have scales. Then they jumped right into the ideation process. They came up with a sketch, and use that sketch as a guide through every step of this lesson. One of the main objectives with this lesson was that the student could demonstrate value within their work (going from light to dark). We also focused on space, which is another element of art. The students had to decide how to crop their eye to show enough scales for the viewer to understand the subject, but also provide emphasis in the desired area of their artwork. As always, I was impressed with the dedication and perseverance these students demonstrated throughout the completion of this project! You rock 6th grade!

One of my favorite children’s books is Giraffes Can’t Dance, by Giles Andreae. We read the story together, and then watched this awesome video:
First 2nd grade started by creating their night scene. They painted white for the moon, and then added a little bit of blue, and used that color to paint a ring around their moon. Then they added a little more blue, and painted another ring, and kept going until the sky was full. They also added red and magenta into their night sky to create different values. next they mixed yellow and blue (primary colors) to create their green grass (secondary color). After they learned a little about giraffes and then they created their own version with colored pencils.
The best part of this project was how the students immediately picked up on the moral of the story.

2nd grade just finished up working on these beauties. They demonstrated their abilities to do so much during this project. The first thing they did was use tape to create a frame. We talked about the element of art: Space, and how they could arrange their peacock within the frame to make it look like the frame is in front of the bird. Then they used watercolor to paint the background a value of green (value is another element of art). Next they used different blues and purples to create the bird’s body, as well as greens to create the “eye” feathers. After they used different cool colors (green, blue, purple) to create the abstract lines that represent feathers within the background. As always, I was super impressed with the outcome of this project. My 2nd graders rock!
We watched this video a few times within the completion of this project. It was definitely a crowd pleaser!

As part of reading week, Kindergarten kids read the book “Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you see?” By Eric Carle. After, they used their knowledge of color mixing to create different shades of brown to create their bears (which is what Eric Carle does in his Illustrations). After their bear was cut out and assembled, they practiced their best handwriting to write the title of the book on their artwork.

Besides teaching K-6 Art, I also teach 3rd and 4th grade reading interventions. My 4th grade group read James and the Giant Peach, so we figured we might as well make some art to go with it. Each student did a character study on one of the insects/characters from the story, and then came up with an idea on how to make a 3-dimensional figure. To make the giant peach, we used a yoga ball and paper mache… Yes, it was a mess. I needed to share this since my 4th grade group worked so hard on this installation. It will definitely stay up the rest of the school year.

3rd grade worked very hard on creating an art project with both a 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional elements. First we learned about Gnomes. Did you know that Gnomes kiss by rubbing their noses? Or that Mom Gnomes always give birth to twins, a girl and a boy? We also watched the trailer from Gnomeo and Juliet: Video Clip (this definitely inspired the kids)
Anyways, 3rd grade started with the ideation process. They sketched out their Gnomes, and then used clay to create them. While the clay was drying and waiting to go into the kiln, they created their 2 dimensional drawings of their Gnome homes. This project really makes the 3rd graders plan and follow through.

As part of both reading week as well as Dr. Seuss’s birthday, and because they’re great, 5th grade kids created Tizzle Topped Tufted Mazurka, from the book:
According to Dr. Seuss,
“I’ll go to the African island of Yerka And brank back a tizzle-topped Tufted Mazurka, A kind of canary with quite a tall throat. His neck so long, if he swalls an oat For breakfast the first day of April, they say It has to go down such a very long way That it gets to his stomach the fifteenth of May.”
Look how magical these are.

As part of a unit on color theory, 1st grade first focused on refreshing their knowledge of the primary colors, specifically by looking at the work of Piet Mondrian. We viewed a stop motion video on the primary and secondary colors, as well as a presentation on the artist Piet Mondrian.
Primary Color Video
Then we created our own version using construction paper, markers, and glue! Here are some examples.
After we completed this project, we reviewed primary colors, and then discussed secondary colors, and then geometric shapes. The 1st grade started with a geometric shape in each of the primary colors, then created color wheels going around the shapes. I love how these look all put together.

4th grade just finished up these ceramic cupcakes. This was the 2nd part of their study on the pop artist Wayne Thiebaud. The goal with this project was creating a 2 piece sculpture representing the artist work, as well as creating a function storage device that represents their sketch. They created a sketch as part of the ideation process and followed that design all the way through the completion of their cupcake. I can’t wait to get these beauties displayed!

Updated Kinder Tree
I Just wanted to share a picture of this tree in the library. It is full of self portraits made by the kindergartners in frames also made by kindergarteners.

1st grade Dino's
1st grade Dino’s
From my experience working with elementary aged students it’s is almost a fact that kids love dinosaurs. Both the boys and the girls tell me each year that this is their favorite project. They used beeswax crayons to color the dinosaurs and the background and used liquid watercolor paint to get the vivid sky, water, grass, etc. These are so fun!

Art Clubbers!
