4th grade disco turkeys

We did a step by step drawing of a turkey while reviewing patterns with shapes and lines. So cute! B

1st grade sculptures

First grade learned about 3D shapes, called forms. We made cylinders out if paper to make our sculpture. Look how cool they look on the wall!!

3rd grade reflection of fall

We used cool colors and learned the watercolor technique wet on wet to create the water for our reflection scene. We used tempera paint to create our trees. To make the reflection, we folded our paper in half to make a print.

3rd grade leaves

We did a lot with leaves...just ask the 3rd graders. We were all about fall!!! We did a painting of fall trees reflecting in the water. These are currently on display in the 5th grade/art room hall. 
We also drew leaves realistically looking at photos of leaves. This taught us to observe and look carefully at our subject matter. We discussed line and value. 
Finally, we studied texture in art by making clay leaves!
