Oil Pastel Autumn Leaves! 1st Grade!!

To celebrate our first cold front of the season, our first graders got to explore the medium of oil pastels! They are so bright and vibrant and so much fun! We discussed the colors associated with autumn leaves and the different shapes leaves can come in. The students then traced each leaf shape and filled it in with beautiful fall colors. Then, they painted the backgrounds with blue and purple watercolor paints! We've been talking about indigo and how to mix it, so it was perfect!!!

Just check out the awesome finished products!

Harvest Corn Drawing - Kindergarten!

We've been practicing the lines and shapes we've learned about in Kindergarten by learning how we can make pictures of other things by putting all these shapes and lines together! Since November is already upon us, I thought it would be nice to create a picture of a lovely colorful corn stalk!

Like our Wobbly Birds, we discussed what other colors we could use for the sky instead of blue. This class chose purple and light turquoise!
