Kindergarten butterflies

Kindergarten had their first experience with paint. We drew butterflies with pencil, them went over our
lines with crayon, and last used a crayon to write the alphabet inside the wings. Lady, we painted using watercolors 

Kindergarten- Black Cats

Kindergarteners made black cats. We continued to practice using scissors and glue with control.

Kindergarten- Pumpkins and Gourds

Kindergarteners practiced using scissors and glue with control by creating a pumpkin patch. We even made the vines 3-D

Kindergarten- Cutting License

Kindergarteners received their cutting license by passing a cutting and safety test. Then we completed a non-objective project afterwards 

Kindergarten- Lines lines and more lines

We created this project to focus on horizontal, vertical, diagonal, and curved lines. We did these in thick black lines. Next, in between the spaces we created other lines using the basic lines. 

1st Grade- Sky Tree

We read the book Sky Tree and then creted our own sky trees. We first drew the tree in pencil and colored it in with crayon. Then we did texture rubbings of leaves. Lastly, we watercolored our picture. 

1st Grade- Organic Shapes and Lines

Can you spot the organic shapes in our drawing and in our background paper? 1st graders learned that organic shapes are shapes with no names and no rules. We cut out an organic shape and traced it at least 3 times onto a small white paper, making sure to overlap the shape. Then we filled in the organic shapes with differnt types of lines.

1st Grade Patterns and Geometric Shapes

This project focused on making patterns for the boarder and geometric shapes on the inside out of primary color construction paper.

4th Grade Abstract Still Life

4th grade created abstract still lifes inspired by Cubism. We broke up the paper by drawing 5 diagonal lines. We then drew an image of a still life. If we ran into a diagonal line, we made our pencil "jump" to make the drawing look more like broken glass.
