My New Art Classroom

              We have just started March and I have been teaching about 2 months. My art classroom is full of children who are excited about painting and drawing. We have accomplished so much with learning art techniques and  learning how to have fun and still staying within the rules of the classroom.
 Kindergarten has learned about paint palletes and mixed our primary colors to make secondary colors. We have also just finished exploring New Orleans through pictures and painting Mardi Gras king cakes.

First grade has learned about Wassily Kandinsky and painted a 4-square "Concentrated Circles." We also read "The Little White Owl" and made a mixed media project of an owl.

Second Grade has worked on penguins and painting wintery snowy trees. My younger grades have learned the story of "Where the Wild Things Are" and started to create their own "wild thing."

Third Grade has painted snowmen and a giraffe and are currently working on Claude Monet's Water Lilies project.

 Fourth Grade has done a mixed media winter landscape project, created their own line designs, and have just completed Vincent Van Gogh's Starry Night mixed media project.

Fifth Grade has also completed their line design projects, painted a mountain landscape and is beginning to personalize their own Fleur de Lis.
