Fourth Grade's Tinted Backgrounds and Palm Tree Silhouettes

Fourth Graders learned about how to create tints of a color by adding white. They chose one color for their background and each time they painted, they added a little bit more of the color to a large amount of white so that the tints would be a little darker each time. After the palm trees were added, the results appeared very tropical! :)

Second Grade's Swirly Cityscapes

Second Graders created swirly, decorative skies just like Van Gogh did in the "Starry Night." They made silhouette type buildings and houses with black construction paper then used a yellow oil pastels to make light coming from the windows. After that, they chose a red/yellow/orange or purple/pink/blue color scheme to create the designs and swirls in their skies.

First Grade's Underwater Scenes

First Graders learned how to draw different types of fish by using various types of shapes, then they created an entire underwater scene and painted it using watercolors. They came up with great ideas and really neat paintings!

Fifth Grader's Palm Tree Silhouette Paintings

Fifth graders learned about what a silhouette is and how to draw palm trees for this painting. Have you ever tried cutting out a palm tree? It's definitely not the easiest thing to do, but after a little practice--most students got the hang of it! They also mixed colors to create beautiful ocean skies and realistic ocean water. I love how these turned out....they have me wishing I was somewhere tropical right now! :)

Kindergarten's Cute Sheep

Kindergartners learned how to use many different kinds of basic shapes to create sheep closed in by a fence and a pretty field of grass and flowers. The sheep turned out so adorable! I was very impressed with some of their skills!

Third Grade's Fish Bowls

Third Graders learned how to paint something that is inside of something else...that something happened to be fish inside a fish bowl! After practicing and discussing how to draw different fish and the details that could go inside the fish bowl and around the fish bowl, the third graders drew their pictures. Then, they outlined the entire picture in marker and we turned our markers into PAINT. By putting just a little bit of water on the paintbrush and carefully brushing it onto the marker, it spread the markers almost like watercolors. The results were too awesome!
