The first graders created these radial line designs after brainstorming all the different types of lines that they knew. Then we traced and cut a large circle and glued a special jewel to the center. After that we drew lines in a radial design around the jewel using colorful oil pastels. The last steps were painting over our line designs and gluing the circle to a frame. So mesmerizing!

The fifth graders were introduced to the art of photography when they created these color wheel photos. We chose 12 objects to take a photo of and then we hand colored our photo with colored pencils to make an interesting color wheel showing primary, secondary, and intermediate colors.
Sixth graders learned about intermediate colors, tints, and shades when creating these great color wheels. We started off with a shape repeated once and then twelve lines. Students had to paint the smallest shape like a normal color wheel and they had to mix their own intermediate colors with the primary and secondary colors. The second shape was the same colors mixed with black to create a shaded color wheel and the background was the same colors mixed with white to create a tinted background. The last step was to outline with black marker to define all the spaces.
We used clay circles to create these awesome texture owls. After students cut their clay into a circle, they folded in the wings and the head. We used extra clay to create a beak and large, round eyes. We also used a variety of fun, everyday objects for our texture tools such as plastic forks, popsicle sticks, and buttons. After the owls were bisque fired in the kiln, students used oil pastels and a tempera wash to make the owls colorful.
We used the art of printmaking to create these interesting fall tree compositions. Fourth graders only drew or painting on the top half of their paper. The bottom half of the paper is actually a monoprint created from the top half to look like a reflection of the fall trees.
Sixth graders created these amazing coil pots using clay coils from the extruder. They were able to layer several coils around a circle base to come up with interesting designs. After the clay had been bisque fired, the students were able to glaze their coil pots using a variety of colors. Students used a variety of lines to create these bold works of art. Each line was painted with black emphasize the different types of lines. The shapes that were created by the lines were painted in with bold and bright colors.
Students in kindergarten created these beautiful mosaics by tearing paper in the colors of the rainbow. We started with a red cut circle and then glued down paper in color order around the red circle. The torn paper really gives the mosaics a fun texture.
First graders learned all about color mixing when we created these little birdies. We started by talking about primary and secondary colors. Students used only primary colored paints of red, yellow and blue to fill in each circle. The secondary colors of green, orange, and violet were mixed by the student. Bird details were added with a black marker and the final touch was a patterned frame.
Students learned about tints when they painted the background for their spooky cat silhouette. We started with white paint for the moon and then blended it with yellow and orange to create a glowing effect on our papers. The spooky cat and tree were drawn after the background was dry. Students then painted their drawings with only black to create a silhouette.
