Collage and Crayon Resist in outer space

First grade had so much fun making these out of this world art. First they created their universe. We discussed space and how things that are closer are bigger than things that are far away. They used crayons, then painted the background with black watercolor paint. Lastly they used construction paper to design their own rocket that would be blasting off into space.

Matisse Pattern Painting

Third grade observed several Matisse paintings and discussed his use of bright colors and patterns. They learned how to draw a cylinder before drawing their own coffee or tea cup and adding different patterns to the artwork.

Second Grade City Scapes

Second grade combined printmaking and watercolor to create these fun city scapes. We used foam plates for the print and then the girls added the buildings and details after.
