Van Gogh Color Wall

When the students are done, they are able to color on a color wall.  Our previous one I bought and it was a sea scene.  I decided that an "art" scene would be even more beneficial in our classroom.  So I flipped over the finished sea scene and set to work!  Alas! The Starry Night giant color wall!

stay tuned for the finished wall!

when the students finish their halloween art....

...they are allowed to dress me up in a Halloween costume! 

Some are pretty hilarious!  Love these kids!

 

"because it is wow."

A Bad Case of Stripes

Our First Day of Art We Are Learning to 

Be Ourselves and Live Colorfully, 

Just like Camilla Cream in

A Bad Case of Stripes

 This is a story about Camilla Cream.  She loves lima beans but doesn't want to get made fun of at school so she denies her love for them.  She soon finds out that being herself is much better than being like everyone else!  Our first few weeks in art are based on Camilla!

 Here is our door to the art room!

 And also my Bad Case of Stripes shoes I made and have been wearing for this week!

I, like Camilla, LOVE lima beans!

Each grade is making self portraits but with one color per grade!  Here are some that the 2nd, 4th, and 5th have been working on.

Once every grade has finished we will make a LIVE COLORFULLY wall display in the elementary halls with every students artwork!  Stay tuned to see that soon!
