For our last full week of school I had students color and reflect on our year in art. We made a list to remember all of the fun projects we did, created a tiny self-portrait, and thought about how we have improved as an artist.

Both 1st grade and Kindergargen looked at various still life paintings and created these mixed media works.
Kindergarten's spring performance was themed "Under the Sea", so both grades helped decorate the hallway and backdrop with fish art! First Grade's Wire Fish MobilesThese are a little hard to see in the pic of the hallway but they are displayed in the top of the "sea". These were QUITE a challenge for my first graders- some even broke down in tears of exasperation. Some of their little fingers really struggled with twisting and wrapping the wires, but ultimately it was good for them. It was a good lesson in perseverance AND continuing to develop these fine motor skills. They wow'd themselves with their finished fish! Kindergarten drew, cut out, and decorated their 2-sided paper fish. These were a quick easy project to get some color in the hall and on the curtain for their performance!
Art NightThis year we held Art Night in conjunction with Math and Literacy Night, and we had a great turnout! In the art room we had three activities- free paint, coloring, and bracelet-making with beads. The families loved it. It was simple enough for them to guide themselves, yet also engaging and fun! |
