Side Profile Snowmen in Snow Globes

We took a look at side profiles today to create profiles of snowmen in snow globes! The best part was smearing glitter paint all over the globe to make it look like it was snowing!

Matisse Snowmen...

This week we looked at work by Matisse and read a book about snowmen for inspiration!
Students used scissors and glue to create their work today!

A Chilly Self Portrait

Last week we took a closer look at eyes and how to draw them. We also discussed patterns and designs on snow gear!

 The upper level included a writing element to their work. 

Picasso Turkeys

This week we read A Plump and Perky Turkey  by Teresa Bateman and looked at Picasso's "Rooster" for inspiration.

Turkey Day Gratitude!

 The kids have been writing gratitude feathers. We have filled out the turkey's plume!

Pies!

Last week we took a look at Wayne Thiebaud's work for inspiration. We discussed Thanksgiving gatherings as well. Students created a pattern on their plate and made their own pie. We had a variety in the classroom! Everything from bubble gum pie to chocolate fluff!

Storybook Houses

This week we are taking a look at famous paintings of houses. We are reading a book called The Big Orange Splot by D. Manus Pinkwater. It's a bright and colorful book about staying true to yourself and what your dreams are.
Students worked on illustrations of their own storybook houses full of brilliant color and design using oil pastels and watercolors. The differences in all of them are fabulous!
