These colorful Japanese style fish prints were done by first graders using various techniques. First we drew the underwater scenery using crayons on watercolor paper. Then using the wet on wet technique, we added a colorful watercolor wash to the background. Finally, we printed our fish on colored paper, cut them out, and glued them on. They did an awesome job with this complex lesson!
3rd grade worked so hard on these Keith Haring inspired paintings. First we learned how to turn stick figures into full figures. Then we used lines to show movement in the style of Keith Haring. Finally, each student chose a color family to paint their figures with. The end results were amazing!
Kindergarten drew these adorable self portraits using colored pencils. Each student drew three portraits to show their emotions, happy, sad, and something else (silly, angry, surprised. etc.)
After reading Skippy Jon Jones and the Dinosaur Bones, Preschool created these clay dinosaur fossils. First we imprinted the fossils using shells, fish, and toy dinosaurs. Then we painted them with brown "mud" paint to make them look authentic. Preschool also made these dinosaur fossils. First they cut out multiple pieces of a dinosaur skeleton, and glued them together on the green paper. Then the preschoolers glued on different types of pasta that matched the shapes of the bones. Like real paleontologists, we couldn't find all of the bones, but the skeletons still look awesome! Finally, we created some spotted dinosaur eggs (or Easter eggs)! We used tempera paint and plastic egg halves to print the circles.
