I guess I was on a bird kick! We looked at photos of cardinals and practice drawing from an image. The kids then used oil crayons to blend colors and make an interesting sky. Great job, wouldn't you say?
I started teaching K-8 students in 2009. I have already learned so much and know I will continue to learn each and every day. I hope you find my blog entertaining, educational, and inspirational.

3rd grade
The 3rd grade learned a little bit about Charley Harper and made collage birds in the style of his artwork. These were fun and turned out pretty cute!

2nd grade
Inspired by marymaking these ADORABLE Olivia/Oliver drawings turned out awesome. We read Olivia and were inspired by her trip to a museum. Since the 2nd grade studied Degas last year we chose to stick with Jackson Pollock for our artist. Great work, Nick!
These beautiful sunflowers were inspired by Van Gogh and the book, "Camille and the Sunflowers." The books tells a story of Van Gogh and is REALLY cute. The kids did awesome!

1st grade projects
1st grade learned how to draw an interesting perspective of themselves. They also added snow globes in their mitted hands. Great job! SO CUTE! These were painted with my new liquid watercolors (which I love!)
I read an old book I found called, "Walpole." Then I showed the kiddos how to draw a big, fat, blubbery walrus. They had so much fun! Then we talked about background, ice bergs, and how to mix paint colors using a double loaded paint brush! SO ADORABLE!

With the holidays and craziness at school I have been HORRIBLE about keeping this up to date! Here are a few Kinder projects we have been doing. I will keep adding things as I edit photos. Thanks for visiting.

We read several Elmer books. The kinders learned about patchwork, collage, cutting, and gluing. Adorable elephants and jungles!

1st grade pop-art
I showed the kids Andy Warhol art and how he used bold colors and repeated images. The kiddos learned how to trace thier own drawings to make copies. Then, each image was colored with a color group from the color wheel (primary, secondary, contrasting, and analogous colors). GREAT JOB!! I love the one that has 16 faces instead of 4. This little guy loves to be different and even made awesome backgrounds!
