fifth grade guitars

We looked at Picasso's guitar paintings. Students created some painted paper using heavy poster board. Next they cut out their guitar body, added details and strung them up!


Fifth grade work:

make and take pumpkin lesson for first grade

We painted a little orange paint on our orange paper to give it texture and cut and pasted the face!

liquid watercolor + spray bottle = amazingly fun splatter art!!!

I bought these spray bottles from the dollar store. We will be using them today in the fourth grade paper weaving projects, but I'm sure I'll find a bunch more uses for them!

first grade autumn leaves

We used some maple leaf stencils and the rubber band brush to create this artwork. Students learned to mix red and yellow to create orange.

First grade art:

texture paintings

We used our rubber band brushes to create texture inside stencils. We learned about negative space, and how we can use negative space to make art! Students stippled tempera paint inside the stencils using their new brushes!

First grade art:

kindergarten pumpkins

Kindergarten learned to draw zig zag, curly and straight lines. We used a stencil to trace the three pumpkins, and mixed primary colors to paint an orange, green, and purple pumpkin!

kindergarten work:

rubberband brushes

I made twenty four of these cool rubber band brushes over the weekend. It was an inexpensive project, you can find directions here.

They make awesome texture and they are pretty durable. I remember using a rubber band brush as a child in art class!
