Kindergarten- Self-portraits

Kindergarteners created self portraits. We used mirrors for students to study their facial features and include them in their drawings. Aren't they cute?



1st Grade- Underwater Scenes

1st graders created underwater scenes. On day on we used pencil and traced our lines with sharpie. The second day, we used art sticks to color the water, sky, and sand. Then we colored in our animals with markers.



1st grade- Overlapping Winter Trees

1st graders discussed overlapping and created winter tree scenes. We made the trees out of construction paper and the snow with tempra paint and water mixed in a spray bottle.



Kindergarten- Winter Ladscapes

Kindergarteners learned about landscapes and created winter scenes. We tore white paper for the snow, drew on the trees with colored pencil. And created the pine trees by folding paper, cutting a diagonal line, and cutting triangles out of the edges. Lastly, students added extra details.
