second and third grade portraits

Students used the camera feature in mac books and iPads to help them draw self portraits.

4th grade paper sculptures

A quick project I did with 4th grade to fill in time while some of the students were finishing their weavings. Staple down a piece of paper, then bend, fold, curl, or twist it and staple the other end down. The students wanted to add design with hole punchers too!

Third grade pencil drawings!

Fifth grade clay wizards

I found instructions for this project on Deep Space Sparkle's blog. Works in progress!

4th grade op art weaving

To cut out the shapes, students glued their weavings to a thin piece of paper, so it would hold together enough for them to be able to cut their designs.

first grade stitchery

Lots of learning in this project! It took about 3-4 weeks. The first week we learned how to use the ruler to draw a straight line. I used a video from youtube. The students found that it was trickier than they thought it would be. Next we drew some art supplies in the picture and made a boarder using our rulers. The following session students colored in their pictures with crayon and were instructed to press hard and soft in different areas with their crayons. I am planning on linking this into a lesson on value later and this will give them some practice. Students used hole punchers and ribbon, yarn, string, and beads to stitch! I think they're lovely : )
