Beautiful Work Sixth Grade!!!

 

 

Sixth grade learned about shadows and highlights these last few weeks.  We talked about how different values create form (elements of art) and gives an object a realistic appearance.  I love how these turned out!

 

 

I love fall and all the beautiful leaves!  Sixth grade made these incredible leaf prints by using gelatin molds given to us by the high school Science teacher!  Thank you Mrs.  Breitigan!

Paper Turtle Project

After learning about Brazilian artist, Romero Britto, the students created turtles using bright colors and pattern. 

A student from third grade showed the class how to make paper turtles and we had so much fun making them!!!  Thank you, Madison for letting me share this:)

PAEA Conference

I was honored to present with my former professors at the PAEA (Pennsylvania Art Education Association) annual conference at Seven Springs this past weekend.  We discussed how art is "natural" and how to incorporate the AEC (Arts Education Collaborative) framework into curriculum, common core, and lessons. 

Fall leaves (Third Grade) and Tree Weavings (Sixth Grade)

I love this bulletin board!  Third grade used modeling paste to create beautiful, textured leaves.  Sixth grade learned how to weave and used yarn to create a fall scene. 

Egyptian Self Portraits (Fifth Grade)

I love this lesson because we learned so much!  First, we discussed that Egypt is a country in Africa.  We learned about Pharaoh headwear, hieroglyphics, and how to write our name Egyptian style!  The students learned the proportions of the face and used construction paper to create their headdress.  These turned out incredible and I am so proud of the student's work!  Nice job fifth grade!
