Handsome Snowmen!!

Step right up and give these snowpeople a hand!! Literally!! In the spirit of the season, my art students put a little of themselves into these whimsical snowpeople paintings! Using their fingers, they created these awesome snow creatures galivanting in the wintery hills!

Mooooove Over! Here Come Cows!

Black and white watercolor cows munching on green grass against a blue sky!  My younger class created some most awesome pasture scenes this month!  We studied shape, foreground, and watercolor techniques

Symmetry and the Sunset

This week we studied symmetry by creating a symmetrical cat sitting satisfyingly in the sunset.  My artists learned how to paint a glorious background sky with a simple, silhouetted cat sitting in the foreground.  Their skies were awesome and the cats each had a personality all their own!

Expression Collages

Can you create a feeling with shapes? Of course!! My students did just that!  Artists used only shapes and colors to show a mood or emotion. I do believe they were a success!

FOIL DRAWINGS

Shapes and color glow through foil and light!  Students created a design using patterns and shapes both geometric and organic. They then filled in the design with sharpies creating a stained glass affect.

Multi - colored Tiles

Who knew that sharpie markers and rubbing alcohol could make such a beautiful work of art! My artists created awesome tiles this week! Colors swirled and mixed creating an abstract design that really popped!

Watercolor Dragonflies

Soft watery colors flow from the brushes of my art students and spill brightly onto a background for a cleverly placed dragonfly!  The young artists created magical habitats for their individually designed winged creatures. Colors were mixed and blended as we learned about watercolor washes and layering. A three dimensional effect was used to represent each student's fantasy world!
