5th Grade Tints

Students learned to mix tints of blues and violets. First, students painted a circle for the moon. Next, students used combinations of white, blue, and violet to create the sky. Students then switched to a smaller brush to paint the trees with black. All paint was liquid tempera.

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!

4th grade Lighthouse Prints

Backgrounds are sponge painted and have designs from colorful sand and seashells. 

Lighthouses are styrofoam prints.

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!
