4th grade made some AMAZING rainforest animals with watercolor colored pencils and liquid watercolors. This was their first time using watercolor colored pencils and I think they did phenomenal! We focused on proportion and how that helps our artwork look more realistic.

🎃🎃🎃 Mrs. Bell's class worked on creating some interesting perspective pumpkins. They also worked on adding shadows and highlights to make their artwork look more realistic. They blew me away with their skills today! 🎃🎃🎃

4th graders will blow you away with their balloons! 🎈

They created a mural to showcase things they did this summer or things about themselves. Highlights include: Being ourselves, Minnesota's Largest Candy Store, camping, fishing, baseball, and seeing a sea star!

This last week has been our time to finish previous projects and create some seasonal artwork! 1st-3rd grade made some beautiful cardinals sitting on snowy "Y" branches after listening to a story about various animals and their winter habits - hibernating, burying themselves in mud, flying south for the winter or simply doing it the cardinal way by sticking it out!

These amazing students of mine continue to impress me!! 🥰

The third graders absolutely rocked their latest project! They were inspired by Matthew Willey and his realistic beehive murals (pictured!). They worked hard on shading their bees and hives. Well, I say they did a FANTASTIC job!!

Here are a few more projects that were recently wrapped up. These kids really rocked these projects!

🖌 1st Grade: Color Monsters - we read the book The Color Monster, where we talked about emotions and how we feel lots of them! We also discussed the rainbow and its Color order.

🖌 3rd Grade: Tints & Shades Ice Cream - we talked about Wayne Thiebaud and his delicious looking artworks. We also talked about tints (adding white to a color) and shades (adding black to a color). On top of that, we talked about complementary colors!

🖌 5th Grade: Optical Illusion Art - we talked about the optical illusion art movement using artists like MC Escher. We also talked about complementary colors.

Check out these great artworks coming out of the elementary room! I am so so incredibly proud of these kids and their artwork, self-motivation, and creativeness. Keep your eyes peeled - we used clay for a few projects this last week and a half!
🖌 Kindergarten: Black Cats - We learned about the color black and worked on our scissor skills. We also discussed how artwork of great because it is made by you!
🖌 2nd Grade: Superhero Self-Porteaits - We discussed Faith Ringgold and her story Tar Beach. We also worked on showing ourselves as a superhero in a city we want to be in.

Here are a few projects we have finished up during our second week of school. The Kindergarteners were inspired by Monet and his lily pad paintings. The 2nd graders were inspired by Thiebaud and his delicious looking desserts. So so incredibly grateful for amazing students who are eager to learn and love making art! 😁
