4th Grade Relief Sculpture Houses

5th Grade Moonlight Pumpkins

We had just finished up a long architecture unit (5 class periods) so unwanted to do a simple project that students could create and take home. Besides, I love fall projects. 

We looked at moonlight paintings by Georgia O'Keefe and the sky and brushwork in Starry Night. We then usd these artist ideas and value to create moonlight pumpkin scenes. 

5th Grade Clay Houses

This is an all time favorite project for the kids. 5th graders study American Architecture such as

porches, balconys, chimneys, etc. they then plan their own house that they create with clay. We use a milk carton for the base of our house and use additive and subtractive sculpture methods. After the clay has been fired, students paint their projects. 

3rd grade Victorian Houses

3rd graders studied artwork by Edward Hopper, focusing on his Victorian Houses. We then created our own spooky Victorian Houses.
