K - Abstract Self Portraits

Kindergaten just completed their realistic self portrait, so then we created an abstract self-portrait. We went to www.storylineonline.net and read the book When Pigasso met Mootisse. They loved it!

5th Grade Weavings!

Found both videos at the beginning of the year and students loved them! Sorry that I can't remember where I found the first video, but if it's yours please let me know and I will post your link.

You Tube - Navajo

Art Beat At School....if you haven't looked at their website you should. Great career and artist videos!

Kindergarten Self Portraits!

This is our 3rd drawing of our portraits! Letting them practice with mirror, used a handout worksheet with half a face drawn, and finally a large drawing that we will watercolor!

Circle Weaving!

Third graders are ready for radial weaving!!! First, everyone designed a radial circle on paper. They broke the circle up into triangular slices, like a pizza. In each triangle they put the same design. (pics soon) Next, we moved into radial weaving on a loom. I let the studentes string their own loom, using Mr. E's guide! Of course, I had to do some and get a few tied off to start but they had fun.

K- Fall Trees!!!

First, we discussed warm colors, diagonals, and the parts of a tree. Then we collaged a torn paper tree. I found that the next class some students were almost finished, so they drew their tree and had to include a horizon line!

CHANGED my ROOM!

I wanted more room to add a Inspiration Station, which still needs a sign.
