Black History Month Approaching!

February is Black History Month and we are celebrating with Maya Angelou.  The students learned about Maya and all she had accomplished in her life.  We focused on "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings."  We drew cages on music note paper (hence the "sings") and then added an oil pasteled bird.  The students were able to choose their bird and finish by mounting their cages to a black sheet of paper.  A student teacher with Mrs. Staehling found this lesson on the internet and I tweaked it a bit! Love how they turned out!

First Grade Pattern Dino's!

So proud of these cutie dinosaurs for 1st grade.  The students drew out their dino's with instruction then added pattern with crayon.  They sharpied the outline and then painted with watercolors!

Chuck Close, Math in the Art Room

Our fourth grade students made these AWESOME Chuck Close artworks.  First, we took their picture and printed it out, then they traced their face with a sharpie, then they used rulers to grid and add symbols.  The students colored their hair, face, background, and clothing two different colors.  We had a blast doing these and they look so GOOD! Love incorporating math and art! Especially since I am marrying a math teacher!!

Let it Snow! Kindergarten Snowmen

The kindergarten students made snowflakes into snowmen.  They LOVED it!

Name Fish Second Grade Art!

The students learned to draw a fish and added their name inside.  This is Stephanie's, can you see her name!?  Next, They filled in the extra space with zentangles!
