Fishy Weavings by Grade K

We have a lot of different types of weaving going on in the art room these days, and the Kindergarteners are involved as well.  They created colorful fish drawings and learned how to create a paper weaving, by cutting slits and then weaving strips.

Tall Sandwich Collages

Third graders used their imagination, as well as a wide variety of different types of collage materials (such as yarn, felt, cardboard, toothpicks, foam, and more..) to create these amazing 

"tall sandwiches".

3D Paper Hats by Kindergarten

Kindergarten students learned many three-dimensional ways to fold paper.  They made swirls, zig zags, circles and more, and attached them to these fantastic paper hats.

UpCycled Masks by Grade 1

Why throw something away when you can make it into something so much better?  That's the idea behind "upcycling."  Inspired by images of assemblage masks they saw on a slide show, first graders had so much fun creating these masks from all sorts of materials like bottle caps, noodles, coffee stirrers, egg cartons and so much more.  

Quilt Squares by Grade 1

First graders viewed and discussed images of "Broken Dishes" quilts.  They created their own paper quilt square by cutting squares into triangles and gluing them down in the "Broken Dishes" pattern.  

Primary Pops by Kindergarten

Kindergartners made two paintings, one using the primaries and one mixing the primaries to make the secondaries.  Once dry, the two paintings were combined to create these tasty looking collages.

Paper Weavings By Grade 3

Third graders created two contrasting paintings and then interwove them to create these paper weavings.  I love how vibrant they look as well as the contrast between the black and white painted paper and the colored painted paper.
