2nd grade Lois Elhert inspired birds


Last week, 2nd grade started this beautiful and colorful, wintry picture inspired by the blog, Deep Space Sparkle! . This project was originally inspired by the book, Snowballs, by Lois Ehlert. She's an artist, auther, and illustrator, who has written many books! Look her up, when you get a chance! 

Here's how we created our own!

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!

1st grade Winter Cardinals


This week, first grade started this cardinal painting inspired by Art Projects for Kids! They've really enjoyed making them, and I have to! It's tricky to find this to keep these kids cool, just a few days before break, but luckily there is a super strong and supportive art teacherin' community, who loves to share their ideas! I am so thankful for that!
Here are our kids, hard at work on theirs!
