5th grade

I read the book, "Journey on a Cloud" to the kids. It is about Marc Chagall and ROCKS! The students made paintings of themselves on a cloud traveling anywhere they would want to go in the world. These turned out GREAT!


I saw these adorable snowmen somewhere online and had to do them. The 5th grade loved this project and I quickly learned that there was a good portion of the students that did not know what a profile was. So, this lesson paid off!

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!


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?

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!

Catching up!

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.

Learning to draw a Hot Chocolate mug. SO CUTE! We added mini marshmallows for the final touh...


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