Painted Bats

1st grade painted recycled rolls black during one art class.  Then during their next art class I folded down the ends of the rolls while students cut out bat shaped wings using zigzag lines.  After gluing the wings onto their rolls, students used white paint to add eyes and mouth features to complete their bat.

 

 

 

Miniature Art

3rd grade created miniature artwork by gluing together craft sticks for the easel and drawing a picture using colored pencils that contains at least one building and a tree or flower.

 

 

 

 

Color Equations

1st grade students used cherry, lemonade, and blue raspberry Kool-Aid to perform mixing experiments to confirm that yellow and blue make green, red and yellow make orange, and blue and red create purple.  Then students documented their experiments filling out color equations sheets.

Colored Mice

2nd grade students review the primary and secondary colors and created a project based off the book Mouse Paint by Ellen Stoll Walsh.  First students glued together a red, yellow and blue primary colored background.  Then they cut out green, purple, and orange secondary mice.  To complete their project they added brown ears and tails followed by drawing on eyes and whiskers.
