Kinder Self Portrait Paintings

My have my Kinders grown this year! Their art has impressed me time and time again throughout this school year. If they can do this at the kindergarten level, I am excited to see what they produce next year. Being art on a cart, painting is always a challenge for me. This group of Kinders were so helpful and followed directions so well. Painting with them was so easy!

Kinders: Fish Bowl Mixed Media

Thank you to one of my Kinders for reminding me to take pictures for my blog! I've been so busy teaching students and forgot to take photos to showcase what they are working on. Here is step one of a mixed media project I'm doing with my Kinders. We drew it and are now working on coloring with warm, cool and neutral colors. Next, we will paint over the crayon to create a resist painting. Students will then create a mosaic on the table. At the end of the project, they will write a story about their art. In their story, they will pretend they are the fish and will tell what they would do if they could get out of the bowl. They will share their stories and art with the class.

I am so proud of my 5th graders! They understood this complicated project and the results were amazing! My students rock!

First Grade Vincent Van Gogh Scarecrows

The original idea for this project came from www.deepspacesparkle.com but I changed it up a little. I added a little touch of texture from Vincent Van Gogh.
