"March Comes in like a Lion" by grade 3

My third grade students made these adorable lions in art this week. They used pencil, sharpie, crayon, and paint. I think they came out great. Perfect lesson for a one 45 minute art class. And, we were hit by a huge snow storm at the beginning of March just after they finished these!
















"Personality Penguins" by Grade 4

These penguins have a lot of personality! The students sketched out the penguins and landscapes, then used sharpies to darken their outlines. Finally, they used watercolor paints to finish them off. I love how all the skies are different. Nice work, grade 4!

Collage Snowmen by Grade 3

Love these collage snowmen that the 3rd grade created. I have been doing them for quite a few years now and every years I am so pleased with the results. They have a tissue paper background applied with liquid starch. When it is dry, they paint over it with tempra paint. Love them!

"Views of Van gogh" by 7th grade

     In September, the seventh grade created some fabulous paintings inspired by Vincent Van gogh. The drew them out, used tempra paint, and when they were dry they added a little more texture and detail using oil pastels. I am very happy with their final products. They should be proud.
