Catching up on posting...

I got a new camera and needed some help with the software to upload the images.  I am all set now!

Here's a little of what we have been up to lately!

4th and 5th graders finished up their water color leaf projects! Click here to see everyone's


3rd grade started & finished a 1/2 portrait drawing.  We talked about lines, proportions, tints, and shades.  Click here to see more.


 3rd grade made a fun TURKEY headband to wear over Thanksgiving break!


 1st grade made a cute little turkey to be used as a napkin ring or a table decoration.  They have been working with shapes (most recently circles) and were able to "freehand" cut each of the four circles to make these turkeys.  Click here to see more.


 1st grade also completed these primary colored caterpillars.  For this lesson we talked about the primary colors, lines, shapes, and overlapping.  We also read The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle to go along with our caterpillar theme. Click here to see more.


 4th grade started their new Starry Night drawings.  For this lesson we have been discussing depth: foreground, middle ground, and back ground.  The fourth graders then created their own rendition of Vincent VanGogh's Starry Night.  Click here to see more.


 5th grade has been working on a new "Falling Self Portrait".  For this project we are also talking about depth.  If a person were falling, their hands and feet would appear closer to you if you had an aerial view.  We have also been talking about line, positive space, and negative space.  See if your child can give you a brief description of each!  Click here to see more.


 EXCITING NEWS!!  Some of the 3rd graders were selected to have a mini art showing in the Brookside Boardroom.  If you have one of these 3rd grade students, you will be getting an invite via mail soon to invite you to come take a peek!  Congratulations to you 3rd graders who put in the hard work to create these awesome drawings!


Stop by again soon to see more of what we've been working on!
