Square 1 Art Fundraiser: 4th Grade "Picasotec" Suns

Inspired by a project I saw on Pinterest, I introduced the Aztec Sun Stone and compared it to some Picasso portraits. Fourth grade students viewed a PowerPoint I created and set to work. They learned about contrast, shades, tints, geometric and organic shapes and more. This student showed her creativity by using gradiated color. 

Carolyn Braden's Third Graders: African Landscape Silhouettes

Here are my 3rd graders African Landscapes. We tissue paper painted the background to be sunsets, then painted on the horizon lines, hills, animals and trees in shadow. They are turning out beautifully!

Square 1 Art Projects!

The students are working hard at their Square 1 Art projects! For this art fundraiser, all students will receive 20 free stickers with their artwork on them. With the stickers, all students will receive packets that include a catalog of items you can purchase with their art on it. There are items like iPhone cases, travel mugs, drawstring backpacks, canvas totes, t-shirts and so much more! The items are excellent quality and very reasonably priced.

The Kinders are creating owl portrait paintings.
The 1st graders are creating Rainbow Fish portraits.
The 2nd graders are creating Pigasso or Mootisse portraits.
The 3rd graders are creating Georgia O'Keffee flowers.
The 4th graders are creating Picasso Portraits.
The 5th graders are creating lizard portraits.
See my examples below.
Help make this fundraiser a success! Look for the order packets around October 17th.
To make ordering easier, you can make purchases on-line. You can even send your unique order form link to family and friends to make purchase too!
The students art looks fantastic and I am excited to bring this program to Schaffner this year!

Kindergarten: Japanese Carp Windsocks

After studying about Japanese culture and Children's Day (May 5th, a day dedicated to children in Japan), we created carp windsocks. We used bleeding tissue paper to "paint" texture onto the fish body. We studied warm and cool colors. They loved seeing their 2-D fish turn into a 3-D windsock.
