Kinder and First Grade Found Object Characters


This lesson was so much fun for everyone. It involved playing with possibilities. Any shape could become a mouth, an ear, or a nose- it's just a matter of placement. Crayons and markers became tools for rubbing textures to use for clothing. It was all about transformation and creativity! To watch a slideshow of the artwork click on the Artsonia link above.

Project Storm- Watercolor Pieces inspired by Kandinsky

Second graders have been working on abstract watercolor pieces. First they chose shapes that they found interesting and arranged them into a composition. They colored in with crayons and followed with bright watercolor washes. The combination of wax from the crayons and watercolor paint had a very interesting effect.
