After talking about the Winter Olympics, Students in third grade drew out these snowboarder figure designs. Students used emphasis in their snowboarder drawings by making the snowboarder stand out from the background through outlining and bright colors.

These radial line designs were created by students in first grade using oil pastels and tempera cake paints. Students learned about concentric circles, different types of lines, and the painting technique of resist while working on this art project.
Fifth graders created these fun cocoa cups after discussing the difference between shape and form. We then drew out a cylinder type form for our cup to make it look more realistic. We used different patterns and color schemes to make our artwork look interesting.
The sixth graders did a great job on these polar bear drawings showing foreground, middle ground, and background. They had to draw one or more polar bears and scenery with a pencil and then outline everything in black marker. The small areas that needed color were shaded in with markers whereas the larger areas were colored in with chalk pastels. Students had to choose analogous colors when blending the chalk pastels.
Students in second grade focused on making interesting patterns on their hats and mittens for these self portraits. They used black marker and color sticks on construction paper for their designs. After, they cut and glued their hats and mittens to a background paper. Students then created a portrait drawing with chalk pastels and a black oil pastel.
After reading the story, "The Missing Mitten Mystery", kindergarten students created these matching mittens. Our goal was to create a pattern on both mittens and paint it symmetrically. We used a black crayon to trace the mittens and draw our patterns. Then we used tempera cake paint to paint inside the mittens with bright colors. Our snowy background was created with a white oil pastel and glitter paint. The last two steps were to cut and glue the mittens down on top of two arms. We are warm and ready for winter!
The first graders learned about the art of printmaking when they used a sponge to stamp their snowman on the paper. We then used a black marker to add details to the snowmen's faces and scarves, and we created a patterned border with cut paper.
In the month of December students at Switzer participated in a great fundraiser to help out a family. Students were able to donate a dollar to get a ticket. If their ticket was pulled at our assembly they got to throw a pie in the face of their favorite teacher. Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth grade students were great at helping me paint our special boards of an elf and Santa for "Pie Fest 2013".
Students created these contemporary christmas trees to help them learn about geometric shapes. We first talked about the difference between organic and geometric shapes. Then we decided which geometric shapes we should draw out to create our picture. After outlining our picture with a black marker, we painted our various shapes with bright colors. The last step was to paint the background black to put more emphasis on the bright colored tree.
