Wonder Inspired 4th grade Self Portraits

Today, 4th grade starting working on their self portraits, inspired by the art of Tad Carpenter, and the fabulous art teacher Katie Allain.  You can check out their art on their Instagram accounts, if you click on  their names. He's the artist who designed the cover for the book, Wonder!

1st grade Winter landscapes

Here's what first grade is up to this week! We've finished our cardinals, and we're moving on to a new project I've never tried before, but found on Paintbrush Rocket's blog, and wanted to try it with my students! 

This project may look simple, but is still challenging for little 6/7 year olds. They're working on their painting skills, craftsmanship, color mixing skills, and fine motor skills! Whew! That's a lot of skillz in this little winter landscape! 

Here's how we're creating ours!
