Fourth Grade Chalk Prints

These will be the background to the students' lighthouse prints. It's chalk shaved with a scissor suspended in water.

Second grade shaving cream prints

We are going to use these as a background to an upcoming print project.

We used shaving cream mixed with glue and liquid watercolor for the ice cream. The best way to apply it is with fingers!

Second grade warm cool leaves

Second graders learned warm and cool colors. They drew maple leaves and filled in with warm colors for the foreground and cool for the background using watercolor.

4th grade lighthouse prints

Fourth grade students study North Carolina architecture, so we looked at our famous lighthouses. Students drew their lighthouse onto a Styrofoam plate with a pencil and stamped with ink and a brayer. The background is a sponge technique, a shell stamped with black ink, and seashells glued on!

Third grade printmaking

Third grade studied movement as a principle of design. Their goal was to draw a picture of something moving, with a background, and use it as the basis for their Styrofoam monoprint. We used black ink to print. The circles are marker caps stamped for extra practice in printing.

1st grade weaving

First Graders just finished a unit on color and organic shapes, so I combined the two with this cloud weaving, clouds being organic shapes. Students cut out the cloud by folding a 12x18" paper in half and using bumpy lines. I cut the slits into their clouds and students carefully wove the rainbow in, and secured it with glue! I had the students add some shaving cream mixed with glue to create the cloud texture.
