A couple of art classes ago, 5th grade started their Jim Dine and Lauralee Chambers inspired paintbrushes! They covered many art practices with this project, and I'm very proud of their results!
Here's how we created them!

4th grade Symmetrical Circles
A couple of weeks ago, 4th grade started their symmetrical circle project inspired by Art is Basic and Mandalas. Learn more about what a mandala is here!
Here's how we created our own!
1st and 2nd self portraits
Our first project of the year for 1st and 2nd grade was self portraits! First they drew one all by themselves, so I could see where they're at, and then we drew one together! They all improved so much, in just one class! The 2nd time I saw them, we drew our entire body, and tried to make ourselves more proportionate. They did a great job, and I'm so proud of them! Here's some great examples!
2nd grade Pablo Picasso Portraits
Last week, 2nd grade started their Pablo Picasso portrait lesson! We learned about his life and art, and the art movement, Cubism. I was inspired by The Artsy Art Room, and wanted to create something similar with our students! Btw, we're still on a cart!! No news as to when the portable will be ready yet!
Here's how we created ours!
