Elephant Festival

Indian Elephant Festival

The 3rd grade learned about the Elephant Festival that happens in March. Each student got cardboard and clothespins that they painted the week before. Then the following week with reference pictures of the decorated elephants in India they used markers to make their own.

Keith Haring Figures

These moving and grooving figures are by 2nd grade. They had to cut out each figure (body, head and limbs) and put each one in an interesting position. Then after tracing each one color with marker in the the style of American artist Keith Haring.

Lots of Chicks and Eggs

K2 had a lesson on foreground, middle ground and background. 

They got it right away. 

Then we drew rows of chicks and eggs using a pattern. 

We have a lot of smart eggs in K2.

Zootopia

The hot movie right now is Zootopia. So to fill a little time in 3rd and 4th grade class I did a quick step by step lesson on how to draw Nick Wilde and Lt. Judy Hopps.

Easter Eggs

K2 used many techniques to make these cool easter eggs. First they traced an egg shape on paper, then they placed stickers around the traced egg. Next the patterns were drawn with crayons. On top of that watercolor paint was used for added color then the stickers were removed. Lastly the grass was made by painting tempera paint with a plastic fork. 

Food Truck Challenge

The 7th and 8th grade Food Truck Challenge has started. 

I will post the winners next week.

Auction Projects

We started production of the class projects for the school auction. This is just a peek.
