The sixth graders created these amazing drawings for our annual Art to Remember fundraiser. Usually I pick the topic for the students but since it is the last year for sixth graders to participate I give them creative freedom to make a drawing of their choice.

The First Graders created these winter landscapes using a variety of art media such as paint, tissue paper, glue, paper, markers, and color sticks. Our goal was to create a winter landscape with shapes, lines, patterns, and cool colors.
The fifth graders created these snowflakes by quilling paper, a technique that was used in colonial times to create art. We coiled the paper around a stick, glued it together and pinched it into different shapes. We glued these shapes down to create a snowflake that showed radial symmetry.
Students learned how to create an object from a bird's eye view through this snowman project. We used a wet on wet watercolor technique with cool colors for our background. Then we cut shapes out to create our snowman and added shading with chalk pastels. After that we added details to the face with markers and we also cut and pasted other details such as a scarf with a pattern and stick hands.
The kindergarteners created these ceramic star ornaments with the goal of showing texture in their artwork. First we rolled out our clay and used a cookie cutter to press our clay into a star shape. Then we used a variety of materials to press textures into our clay such as buttons and popsicle sticks. After the clay stars had been bisque fired, we were able to paint them with lots of bright colors. The sixth graders created these close up christmas trees to show that they can create an artwork with space, texture, and analogous colors. First we used wet on wet watercolor painting to create our ornaments with analogous colors. Then we created tree branches for our background with oil pastels and color sticks to show texture. The last step was cutting and gluing on our ornaments in different areas to show space in our artwork.
The second graders focused on using lines, shapes, and bright colors to create these drawings of gingerbread houses. After the houses were complete, we cut them out and glued them to a snowy background.
The third graders created these poinsettias with the goal of showing complementary colors, organic shapes, and patterns. First we cut and glued tissue paper shapes down to create a poinsettia. Then we brushed an acrylic gloss medium over our entire paper to seal in our artwork and make it shine. The last step was to add details with a black marker and create a pattern on our frame.
The kindergarteners created these super scarecrows using lines, shapes, and colors. The first week we drew out our scarecrows using a black crayon and then added some more colors in the small areas with crayons . The second week we painted in our big areas with bright colors.

Mrs. W.About Me: This is my eighth year teaching art at Switzer Elementary. I see every K-6 student for art once a week. My goal during this time is to nurture students' creativity through exploring different art mediums and concepts. By exploring art, students will develop essential knowledge and skills that will prepare them for the future. Categories
