Snowman at Sunset

This week kindergarten learned that colors can be classified into families called warm and cool colors. After that, they painted a sunset background using warm and cool colors.

This week, students worked on more of their snowman at sunset. They cut out snow, snowmen shapes and glued them on.

Kinders finished their snowmen today. They began by gluing on a frame. The next step was to add details to their snowman and to paint snow in the sky.

These turned out so great!!

Valentine Bunny

Today Kindergarteners learned a little about printmaking. They chose some colorful paper and spent time creating white printed hearts onto their paper.

Today Kinders finished up these cute bunnies. They began by gluing on a frame.

I then taught them how to draw a bunny and they drew two of them and picked their favorite.

They colored, cut and glued on their bunny.

How cute!!

Colorful Hearts

First graders started a new project today. They began with learning about primary and secondary colors. We painted all of the colors on a sheet of paper to use in the following weeks. The students were pretty amazed at the colors they could create with just Red, Yellow and Blue.

Today we reviewed all the different kinds of shapes and lines they could use while painting their hearts. We also reviewed which primary colors created the secondary colors. I called this "art math".

 A heart was traced in each color and then the hearts were filled in with shapes, lines and designs.

Today kids worked collaboratively at their table to fill out the color mixing sheet to glue onto the back of their art.

Cutting out hearts, gluing on their hearts and finishing painting their hearts were the next steps.

The final results!!
