Kindergarteners have been learning about value and texture in this project of winter trees.
 |
| First, we started by painting our background in 3 different shades of blue, adding white to each level. We also painted a sheet of paper in different green values to make our trees. |
 |
| The following week, we cut out tree trunks and cut out our trees in large triangles. We glued very carefully, making sure nothing was sticking up. |
 |
| The last week, we added lines and designs to our winter trees with silver and gold pastels. Glue was added in fun patterns. Then it was over to the glitter station to add some pizzaz! The final step was to "paint" snowflakes and a blanket of snow on the ground using a Q-tip. They turned out beautiful! |
First Grade
First graders have been working on creating Penguins. They started out by painting a background and drawing an iceberg with chalk pastels. The following week, they created their penguins and added them onto the iceberg. The final week was their favorite-- they got to add details to make their penguin unique. Students used fabric, paper, buttons, pom poms, beads, yarn and anything else they wanted to their penguin. They turned out so cute!!
Second Grade
Second graders have been creating an artwork based on the children's book Giraffes Can't Dance.
In this artwork, students are learning about how to create texture in their sky and grass by "drawing" with their paintbrush on wet paint.
