Projects 2008-2009

Just a small sampling of past projects. These pictures are not the best, but you get the idea :)

Lower elementary students made pinch pots from model magic clay. Some of the student decided to make either a pot, bowl, or cup. Then they painted the pot any way they chose.

One second grade class made life-size portraits in art class and then
put "themselves" in their desks for Open House! This was an awesome project, but required lots and lots of help from parents. Our parent volunteers are the best!

3-D Spiders at Fall Time. Third Grade students created a web from black yarn and then made a spider from black construction paper. When you glue the tips of the accordion-folded legs down to the paper, it pops off the page. So cool!

My Crazy Self: Kindergarten and First Grade. This is a tissue paper collage. They painted themselves using black paint but had to make their head a triangle! :)

Fourth graders created a collage project from space! Their favorite part was splatter painting white paint to make stars. At the same time they worked on this project, they also were studying about space and astronomy in their fourth grade classroom. I love it when I am able to collaborate with other teachers.
