Patterned pumpkins

4th grade pumpkins

4th grade worked on patterned pumpkins in the month of October.  We talked about how to make the shape appear 3-dimensional, and created these fabulous drawings step-by-step.  Students used construction paper crayons on black paper to add a little fun to the image.  We left the background black to allow for contrast.

Monster Morph

Grade 3 and 5 has been working on a Halloween themed project, titled Monster Morph.  They are responsible for creating their own creature that has gradually evolved from a (made up)character.   On the large Manila paper you will see their process.  The colored images are the final monsters that have at least 6 monster qualities along with a background that the monster lives in.

Sunflowers

Look at these beauties!!   A little step-by-step drawing in grade 1 produces the most beautiful images!!!

First graders discussed size, shapes, types of lines they could use to create their sunflowers-we also learned a little about what each part of the plant is responsible for while growing.

Name design

Grade 3 is working on name design.  The technique we are using is WAX RESIST, where they create their design in crayon, and then use watercolor paint on top.  Wherever the crayon is, the paint will not go-creating a beautiful piece of work.
