5th Grade- Color Wheel Guitars

Fifth graders created color wheel guitars. This project took four class periods. 1- We drew our guitar shape and neck of the guitar on tag board. We did it in pencil first and then went over it in sharpie. 2 They painted the color wheel in the middle and complementary colors along the outside. 3- We then painted the value scale on the neck and monochromatic color scheme on the head. 4- we cut out our guitar pieces and glued them to a strip of foam board to make it sturdy. Lastly, we added thin strips of construction paper for the strings. 





1st Grade- Pattern and Geometric Shapes

1st graders reviewed part enters and we created patterns on our border. Next, we talked about geometric shapes--- shapes with names and rules. We cut geometric shapes out of primary colored construction Palmer and glued them to our paper. Last we used construction paper crayons to add more details.
