In the Art Room - Monochromatic

These pictures don't do the project justice because they turned out great!  I bought poster size paper that was quartered with four shades of one color.  The kids were each given one poster size sheet and asked to complete ANY kind of monochromatic composition they wished.

       

In the Art Room - Victorian House Bust

This is my second year doing these with the 4th grades and I think last year's were much better.  Rather than have them paint a simple background, this year I asked them to cut them out and paste to black paper.  They just don't seem to pop like the first go round did.

This year's:

     

Last year's:

     

In the Art Room - Kinder Cows

I love these cows!  This was such an easy lesson too on geometric and organic shapes.  I gave them an organic shape to start with then they followed my directions to draw the rest of the cow.

       

In the Art Room - Kinder Valentine Desserts

The Kindergartens painted theses HUGE desserts and then embellished with jewels for a special Valentines treat!

       

In the Art Room - First Grade Snowmen

The first grades were introduced to point of view with these snowmen.  They thought of wonderful stories about who they were and what they were doing laying on the ground and looking up at their snowmen!

       

In the Art Room - Winter Landscapes

First and Third painted winter landscapes.  First grade painted paper one week with cool colors, then ripped it apart the following week, and glued to a seperate sheet to create a layered background.  Then they tore black paper for trees.

     

Third grade created a birch tree forest with cool watercolor paints and watered down black paint.
