Fourth Grade Weavings

Fourth grade weavings are all finally complete.  I love the variety of colors, textures and designs they chose to use!

Animal Drawings in Progress by Grade 1

First graders were working on drawing animals from observation.  I photographed their in-progress drawings along with the photographs they were observing.  

Watermelon Patch by Gr. K

Here is the watermelon patch scenery that the all-day kindergardeners created for their play.  Each student made a circle or oval watermelon collage and then traced their hands for leaves.

Gyotaku Fish Prints by Grade 3

These are based on an ancient Japanese art form called Gyotaku, or fish printing.  Since we didn't have any real fish on hand, we decided to use foam printing plates. The color comes from crayon designs the third graders colored before printing their fish.

Fourth Grade Play Sets

The fourth graders helped paint these sets for their play this year, "The Adventures of Lewis and Clark".  The play was outstanding - great job fourth graders!
