4th Grade- Tints and Shades

4th grade focused on zentangles and tints and shades. 

2nd grade- Flower Still Life's

2nd graders created flower vase still life's. These tied in perfect with Mothers Day. This was a two day project. Day one- we painted six flowers and a 3-D case using tints. One day two- we cut out our flowers, vase, glued them to a background paper, decorated the table, and added stems and leaves with construction paper. I think these were a big success. 

Poinsettia

1st grade made beautiful poinsettias by usiing red, green, white, and gold paint. We discussed that when you mix a color with white it is called a tint and that is what studnents did when they made the highlights on their paintings.

2nd grade Snowy Landscapes

2nd grade created winter landscapes by using tints in the background to create mountains. After the paint dried, we creted trees out of silhoettes. Finally, we added snow falling down in the foreground.
