KINDERGARTEN
Spring Chickens.
Students worked on using shapes and coloring in the whole picture. Neat and complete!
Warm and Cool colored polar bears
Students looked at the color wheel. They identified the warm and cool colors. Next, we discussed polar bears! Using what we learned we created these wonderful warm and cool polar bears!
Kindergarten through Second grade viewed artwork by Matisse. We were inspired to create our own fish bowls.
FIRST GRADE
Animal Collage
We looked at artist Terry Runyan. We noticed how the newspaper created a texture. We noticed the shapes used for the body parts. Using what they learned, first graders created these amazing animal collages!
Rainbow Penguins
SECOND GRADE
SURPRISE CREATURES
Kinetic Art is art that involves moving pieces. By folding the paper into quarters, and opening the fold differently, students were able to make these surprise animals!

THIRD GRADE
Third grade cityscapes
Students created a 3-D cityscape by using a rhombus and vertical lines. A cityscape is a view of the city. We looked closely at pictures of cityscapes, noticing the shape, line, and pattern in each.
FOURTH GRADE
Pop Up Houses
Fourth grade explored the difference between 2-D shapes and 3-D forms.
Clipper Ships
Fourth graders discussed the age of exploration and the clipper ships that were used. We looked at some paintings and noticed how the artists' lines show movement.
Using lines and movement fourth graders created their own drawings of ships. They used liquid watercolor wash over the top. Check out those sunsets!
Hearts
Fourth grade looked at artwork of Jim Dine. We used his Pop art style as inspiration to create our own themed hearts.
5TH GRADE
Native American Dream Catchers
What is a dream catcher supposed to do?
Their purpose was to protect sleepers, especially children, from bad dreams. Native Americans believed that at night the air was filled with dreams, both good and bad. They would hang the dream catcher over their beds. The opening in the center would allow the good dreams to pass down to the dreamer. The weaving would trap the bad dreams, stopping them from the dreamer. These bad dreams would be released with the morning light.
