Winter is here!

We have started making all sorts of wonderful art inspired by the cold weather!  We have been learning about color, highlights and shadows, drawing complex shapes, so many wonderful concepts!  I will break them down when I get some extra time.  But for now, I wanted to post some pictures so you could enjoy them!  Bundle up and ENJOY!!

Beautiful Butterflys

Out of this world shapes!

Students used geometric shapes to create one of a kind robots and rockets. They are designed to help kids out. Here are some of the ideas the students had..."my robot is mad because people are polluting the water!" "I designed my robot to play basketball and I love it. And I thought it would look cool." "My robot diver dived and saved somebody. He is a water police."
Very CREATIVE second and third graders!!

Clay owls

This was an extension to the Owl drawings we did previously. Second graders were learning how to use lines to create implied texture. When working with the clay, we rolled slabs of clay to build the body then used different objects/tools to impress into the clay to create actual (real) texture. Students then learned about the firing process and the glazing process. What a great learning experience!
