Primary Art
Welcome to Primary Art, home to my favorite art lessons. I am an elementary school art teacher, chronicling my favorite art lessons. I hope to bring ideas to other art teachers, parents, home school teachers, and artistic children. Here you will find a catalog of lessons for grades kindergarten through 5, as well as other art-room related stuff! Thank you for visiting!

5th grade close up pumpkins
This is a take on an artwork I found here. Students used red, orange, yellow, and brown oil pastel to create analogous colors to blend for highlighting their pumpkin! Students loved blending and each student had their own interpretation of the piece!
Primary Color Mixing
We did this lesson with tempera cakes because the liquid watercolor was running! I saw this on a youtube video (I forgot to write down the link but I'll post it soon) and simplified it for the kids. They used two primary colors to decorate precut circles. Next we poked holes in the center with pencils and students were able to spin them to 'mix' the colors. On my display I used push pins so people could spin the student work! Great color theory lesson!
Warm and Cool Leaves
Students studied a simplified version of warm and cool colors: red, orange, yellow and pink for warm, and green, blue, purple, and magenta for cool colors. Students looked at leaves and copied them onto their papers. They used either a set of warm or cool crayon colors to fill in their leaves in between the veins. The following week students used the opposite set of colors to paint the background. All paint was liquid water color by Sax.

3rd Grade Beautiful Bugs
These looked kind of cute but creepy! They are made from two ceramic pinch pots with holes pierced through them to insert the antennae and legs. Students painted with watercolor and acrylic paint.
5th grade Assemblage Art
These pieces were modeled after Assemblage Art. Students used macaroni, beans, wood, and ribbons to create a relief sculpture on a poster board. Then we spray painted (outside!) the art to make each one all one color. Disposable gloves help protect hands from spray paint!
