2nd grade Deer in the Snow

This week 2nd grade started this multimedia deer in the snow! This project was inspired by the Painted Paper Art blog!
We have snow in the forecast, and we're trying not to get our hopes up, but the thought of snow is so exciting!! 

Here's how we created our little deer!

Colorful 5th grade Self Portraits

Last week, I was inspired by the great Cassie Stephens yet again! Her 4th graders have been creating some Fauvist style self-portraits, and I thought our 5th graders would be great at it to! Here's the link to her original post on the topic! In the Art Room: 4th Grade Fauves

1st and 2nd Veterans Day Poppies

Here's what 2nd and 1st grade have been working on this week! I wanted to do a Veterans Day project, and found this one on A Spot of Color, so I thought we'd give it a try!

Kindergarten rainbow paintings

For the past couple of weeks, kindergarten has been working on this precious little piece of art! I got this adorable idea, yet again, from the fabulous art teacher, Cassie Stephens. Click on her name to get a little sample of her amazing art teacherin' talent! 

Earlier in the year, we made a cute little cloud with rainbow paper, so this lesson is a review on rainbow order, and works on all kinds of other skills!!

Here's how we made ours! 

3rd grade Oil Pastel faux Batik pumpkins

Square 1 ART projects!

This week, we're starting our Square 1 Art fundraiser! I'm so excited because I've never done something like this before. It's so neat! The kids put their art on the paper Square 1 provides, I send it in, and then their family can order products with their precious little pictures on it! 

Here's what each grade will be creating!

4th grade Dia De Los Muertos Calaveras or Sugar Skulls

Today we started our Dia de los Muertos calaveras or sugar skulls! This project was inspired by the folk art from Mexico, and another fabulous art teacher on Instagram @artfunwithms.c. Mrs. Stacey discussed this holiday, and showed examples of the beautiful art and decor centered around this special time. We also saw examples of this holiday in current cartoons like Disney's Coco, Elena of Avalor, and the movie The Book of Life. We learned that Dia de los Muertos or Day of the dead, is a holiday that celebrates the memory of our loved ones. We talked about how all the use of bright colors, flowers, candles, food, and art make this a festive time, instead of a sad one. Here's how we create our own Dia de los muertos Calaveras!
