Paper Roller Coasters! - 1st Grade

This first week back has been a busy one! Our first graders did their first official sculpture project!!! YAY! We created three-dimensional paper roller coasters using colorful strips of construction paper! They did such an awesome job and had so much fun!!!!

Holiday Carolers - 3rd Grade!

Our 3rd graders created these wonderful carolers before the winter break! I didn't get a chance to write about them before now, but these are just too awesome to pass up!

The students cut out and designed each and every part and the hard work paid off!

Winter Tree Collage - 4th Grade!

Our 4th graders designed their very own papers to create these wonderful tree collages. We also collaged the foreground, middle ground, and background! (Which we've never done before!) These turned out just great!

Positive/Negative Snowflakes - 4th Grade!

In 4th grade, we learned about lines of symmetry and creating a negative part of a shape by cutting part of it out (the positive!). The line we created by gluing them side-by-side is the line of symmetry! How cool is that?!

The cutting was mighty tricky, but we got it!

Pointillism Snowmen/women - 3rd Grade!

Sorry, its been so long since I've posted fellow art lovers! (The holidays were super crazy!) Time to jump right back to the art world with we have been working on!

Our 3rd graders learned about pointillism last year in 2nd grade. (Pointillism is where we fill in our artwork with tiny dots of color so that from far away, it looks really neat!) We also learned about having our subject not show all the way in our picture - this changes the balance of our artwork. (Which is really awesome, too!) and because I love mixing mediums, we added details with construction paper and oil pastels! These turned out absolutely lovely!
