"Bugs In A Jar" Stamping (In Progress) Grade 1

First graders designed their bug jar, and then tried out some stamping in order to create their bugs.  Next week we add the bug details!

Weaving in Progress! Grade 5

Weaving is in full swing in the art room.  Here are some photos....

Texture Architecture by Grade 1

We started by reading a great book called Spiky, Slimy, Smooth - What is Texture?  and first graders located textures found all around the art room.  Next, they created papers filled with textures, using our handy texture screens.  The final step was to cut up the texture papers, and use the shapes to create architecture!

Radial Designs by Grade 2

We discussed all the radial designs that are found in nature, such as flowers, spider webs and sand dollars.  Second graders created these original designs using cardboard circles, wood shapes, oil pastels, and watercolors.

Car Collages by Grade 2

I got the idea for this project from this great art teacher's website:  http://plbrown.blogspot.com.  These creative cars have recycled CD's for the wheels, and use all types of painted and patterned paper for the other details.

Tissue Box Collection!

The Art Room is now collecting empty tissue boxes of all shapes and sizes.   

There will be a collection box in the office, or you can send your donation in with your student(s) on the day they have art.  

Thank you in advance!

Georgia O'Keeffe Flowers by Grade 4

Fourth graders used oil pastels and watercolors to create these up-close flowers, in the style of artist, Georgia O'Keeffe.

Quilt Square Collages by Grade 1

First graders learned that many types of quilt squares have names.  This style of quilt square is called "Broken Dishes", can you guess why?  Students cut and glued triangles to create their quilt square, and once that was dry, they stamped designs and added buttons.
