3rd Grade Polynesian Art

The 3rd graders created beautiful polynesian art in celebration of their artist in Residence program in November. These pictures were created in two steps: First, each child painted a beautiful watercolor background in rainbow order, then they painted stunning silhouettes of palm trees. All of these pictures were very unique and very beautiful. They provided an elegant background for the program.

Autumn Glory



The inspiration for this artwork came from the Sax Art website and was called Autumn Glory.
We adapted it a little to fit our time and scheduling restraints and the results were just amazing. This is one of the most popular art projects I have ever done. The students LOVED making rubber stamps and they loved the printing process. We will definitely do more art with these techniques.

3rd Grade Space Fantasy

This was one of my favorite projects for the school year.  We studied the moon cycle and learned to add shading using different patterns.  As our final project we created this beautiful moonscape using pastel chalks.  Each student used line patterns and choices of color. The final step was to add a moon in one of the phases we had recently learned.
