Tall Pumpkins by Grade 1

We celebrated Halloween by creating these expressive tall pumpkins!

Wild Thing Puppets by Grade 1

First graders learned that a texture is how something feels, like bumpy, furry or scaly.  We read Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak, and looked extra carefully at the textures of the wild things.  First graders created these puppets by drawing many different textures.

Creating Fall Reflections by Grade 4

Fourth graders have been practicing drawing trees.  Once they fill their skyline with trees, they will add water to their marker drawings, essentially turning the marker into paint.  The final step will be folding the paper in half to make a reflection print.  Photos of the final products are soon to come!

Kindergarten Landscapes

Kindergartners learned the term "landscape" and created these vibrant drawings using oil pastels.

Dinosaurs by Grade 1

First graders learned to draw dinosaurs using simple shapes.  They colored using oil pastels, and blended colors in three areas of their drawing.

Grade 2 Fauvist Landscapes

2nd graders learned that Henri Matisse was a member of the "fauves" or the "wild beasts".   They were called "wild beasts" because they painted with bright and wild colors.  What wild colors do you see in these chalk pastel landscapes?
