Sand Painting by Grade 4

Fourth graders were inspired by Native American symbols as they used colored sand, sand paper, and glue to create these stunning sand paintings.





Kiddlywinks Clothesline Art Show

This year, all Center School second graders have a painting hanging up in the annual art show at the Kiddlywinks toy store.  Be sure to go see this amazing collection of student artwork from many schools in the area- artwork is on display through the end of March!











Painted Pops by Kindergarten

Kindergarteners have been exploring the primary and secondary colors.  In this lesson, they painted one paper with the primaries and another by mixing the secondaries.  Next class, they cut their popsicles out of the primary colors and glued them down, using the secondary color paper as a background.  Don't they look delicious!?

(Thanks to the website, We Heart Art for the idea!)

Kandinsky Circles by Grade 1

This project is a favorite of mine.  First graders learn about Kandinsky, primary colors, and color mixing, all in one lesson.  Here are students just getting started on their Kandinsky inspired circles...

Sand Paintings in Progress by Grade 4

Fourth graders learned all about the art of sand painting through viewing and discussing a Google presentation.  Then they sketched an image based on a Native American symbol, and then created their image on sand paper, using colored sand and glue.  Stay tuned for images of the finished products...
