5th grade statue of Liberty

The 5 th graders learned about the history of the Statue of Liberty and then did a step by step drawing of the statue. We drew in pencil, outlined in Sharpie and painted the statue and water with watercolors. We mixed green with a bit of brown for the statue's color. 

The background could either be a cityscape or a flag. We used oil pastel, marker and crayon for the background. This was my first year incorporating the choice of a flag. I love the results!!! They were great!!!

3rd grade warm and cool weaving

The third graders reviewed warm and cool colors by doing two deprecate paintings - one in all warm colors and the other in all cool colors. We started by drawing concentric circles in white crayon then painted over with our colors. The warm colored paper was cut to make our loom and the cool colored paper was cut into strips to weave into the warm colored paper. This was not only a great review of color but a great review on weaving as well.
