Painting Sunsets With 3rd Grade!

This project has so many teaching goals.....you can teach the students about warm colors..... or teach them about mixing two primary colors to get the secondary..... you can also teach them blending techniques....

This project is not complete, so can you guess what they will be learning next?

Mondrian Inspired Art by the 3rd Graders!

Animal contours and shapes of objects were the emphasis on these designs. We completed the artwork with some rectangle borders....collage style! 

Didn't realize it would be challenging to some students to imagine and draw only the contour of their chosen shape without adding the gory details to their art.....those details only got erased when it was time to fill in the grid and colors!! 

This work was so well executed....the student only drew what was required...no eye details and hair that she later had to erase!
