Fall Reflections in First Grade

I love to do this reflection lesson with my first grade artists every year. They are so bright and beautiful! To achieve the reflection, they fold the paper and press it together after they paint each item. You can't wait until the end to fold over because the paint dries and will not transfer over.
Here are some examples of their finished work.

Cave Art by Sixth Grade

I absolutely adore the final results of the sixth grade cave art project. After learning about and viewing some pictures of real cave art, and talking about the very first "art" to be created, the students used sponges, paints, and oil pastels to create there own version.

"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!
