Zentangle!

The 5th graders are working on contour line and zentangle.  They practice their contour line using a vase, glass, fruit or shoe.  After their drawing is good, they add zentangle to make an interesting composition.  So far so good!

Family Art Night - Kinder & 1st Grade

The first family Art Night of the year was a success!  We did a crayon & watercolor resist!  The kiddos traced their sweet little hands, and mom and dad added theirs, and a few details, with crayons before painting over them with watercolor paint.  
The projects were so adorable!

Drawing Books!

Last spring, we did a Donors Choose fundraiser in order to buy some new How To Draw books for class.  The students use these during free draw, and during projects, in order to learn the shapes and details of many things they like to add to their works.  We were also able to purchase a few art reading books.  These books have been an awesome addition to the classroom and we are so thankful!

Forget Waldo..Where am I?

Our 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders have been working on their own self-portrait for the "Where's Waldo" board by the Library.  Each student's drawing is posted up as they finish, and my own drawing is hiding in the crowd! Find yourself, then try and find me!

If you find me..awesome!  But keep in mind, I move every few days...so you'll have to keep looking!
