Distance Learning Week 1 - 2nd and 3rd Grade

As student artwork rolls in I will be posting some of them!  Here is a third grader who finished hers already.  Amazing job!

Kids Tag Art

Every year, our 5th graders get to participate in a county wide contest to help raise funds for our Art Program.  They create and design their own license plate that can be purchased.  You can search and buy our 5th graders license plates at the link below.

Patterned mittens

Our Kinder and 1st grade student learned about patterns while they made these mittens.  After they were finished decorating them we taught them how to weave yarn around them. 

Printmaking Forest

Our 3rd and 4th graders learned about printmaking during this lesson!  They painted paper and used different materials to make prints onto their artwork. 

Worm Tunnels

Our 3rd, 4th and 5th graders learned about value and how to make their artwork look 3 dimensional by using shading techniques.  They used colored pencils and sharpies to create this artwork.

Winter Wonderland

During our printmaking and collage lesson, our 4th graders created this winter wonderland.  They used watercolor paints, tempera paint, and gold sharpies to create this look.

Watercolor Giraffe

Our third graders created these beautiful giraffe.  They used oil pastels and watercolor paint to create this artwork.

Line Castles

Our Kindergarten and 1st grade students completed these castles with crayon and watercolor.  They learned about the different types of lines and how lines working together can create different shapes.  After they drew their castles they painted them with their watercolor paints.

Missing our students.......

When we left school on March 13, 2020, we had no idea that we wouldn't be returning for weeks.  As we start the process of our new normal, we want our students to know how much we miss them and want to connect with them as much as possible.  As we start to upload content onto our site, please interact and comment on it!  We want this to be a fun and interactive way to communicate with our students. 

As always, you can also contact us through our email addresses.
