1st Grade - Bugs

First graders learned about symmetry with this simple watercolor project.  First we discovered what symmetry meant, then used this new knowledge to come up with our own brand new insect.  The kids came up with some very interesting designs.  Have a look!

3rd Grade - Clay Fish

Clay!  The third graders finally got to work with everyone's favorite art medium with these fish projects.  We learned how to roll a slab and add relief texture using some of the clay tools before we painted them.  Clay is a lot of fun and the projects turned out great!

2nd Grade - Wild Things

The second graders got creative with their supplies and, like the first graders, got in touch with their wild sides in these artworks.  We read Where the Wild Things Are, then considered what the wild things in each of us would do if we wouldn't get in trouble.  Then the students converted old toilet paper rolls into Wild Thing sculptures.  To finish the project, the second graders had to fill out a worksheet explaining who their Wild Thing was and what it liked to do.  Take a look!

4th Grade - Falling Down

The fourth graders learned about perspective and foreshortening with this watercolor project.  First students partnered up and traced their hands and feet onto a big piece of paper.  Then, they drew themselves smaller in the background before deciding where they were "falling into."  The 4th graders are excellent painters and came up with some creative ideas for this one.
