3rd Grade Birdcages

3rd graders practiced their watercolor and oil pastel blending in the backgrounds of their birdcages and in the feathers of their parrots. We read the book "Terrific" about a funny parrot that could talk and created birdcages for them after studying a bit about architecture. Some classes even read the book, "Tiki Tiki Tango."

Kindergarten artists used shapes to draw these fun fire trucks! Then we practiced using texture plates to create a textured rubbing bumpy background! 

4th Grade Landscapes

4th grade artists are studying various genres in art such as portraits, still life, landscapes, etc.  After looking at some landscapes, we reviewed foreground, middle ground, and background. We traced our lines with varying thicknesses, made sure to use pattern, think about size and space, use value and blending, and show emphasis somewhere in our artworks with our color schemes.

5th Grade Mexican cacti!

5th graders thought about the vocab word genre and considered the multiple genres that are used in art history. We created out own still lifes with real cacti and drew them making sure to think about the art element of space and overlapping!  We utilized our blending skills and our talents with pattern and balance when designing our patterned pots. 

2nd Grade Architecture Birdhouses

2nd Graders are studying the art profession of architecture. We looked at various architecture types and created our own 3 houses for some little pop out birds. We even practiced our blending in the oil pastel coloring of the birds!
