Patriotic art for Veterans Day!

 

This week, and the beginning of the next, we're working on patriotic works of art, to celebrate Veterans Day! We are a big military town, and we want to support our local veterans and country! 4th & 5th worked on their shading in this American flag project, 1st and 2nd grade worked on their drawing skills, sketching out a bald eagle with me, and 3rd is drawing the Art Project for Kids, head of the statue of liberty surrounded by fireworks!  They're doing a great job so far!

Check out our art below! 

btw, I found the flag idea on The Lost Sock Blog, by Tabitha Morgan! Click on her name for how to!

 They have been having so much fun and are doing a great job making the 3-d jack-o-lantern faces!

Art on a Cart 2020-2021

 

Sorry, I haven't posted in a while, but we've been busy over here! I'm on a cart again, so there hasn't been much down time. To top it off, we can't share supplies, so I'm having to improvise and do a lot of new, 1 day lessons, this year. Oh well! At least we're open, healthy, and I get to teach again!

  The first week back, we did some more Cassie Stephens inspired projects! They loved the surprise mask selfie project, the mask emotions, and her origami pets! We did some radial symmetrical artworks,  some fun directed drawings, and now we're getting into some fall artwork! The kids have also loved the Op Art weaving with neon papers, from Mrs. Nguyen's website!

Here's some student examples of what we have been creating!

Chris Uphues Valentine's Hearts!

For the first time since I've been here, our school is going to do a Valentine's Day dance, and PTO approached me about the students making some decorations! 3rd grade kicked us off with some Chris Uphues inspired hearts! I was introduced to this artist by my favorite art teacher, Cassie Stephens. Click on her name and it'll take you to her blog, and show you all about Mr. Uphues, his art, and their projects! Here's how we made our own!

3rd grade Oil Pastel Snowmen at Night

3rd grade has been working on this project, inspired by the book, Snowmen At Night, for the past couple of weeks now, and I had to share how they're doing! This was one of my last art on a cart lessons, so I thought it might be helpful for art on a cart folks, or just someone looking for a simple, but beautiful wintry lesson.  Here's how we made them! By the way...This lesson was inspired by A Faithful Attempt art blog! Look em' up! :)
