Kindergarten Pumpkins and the curvy vine

Students learned how to make orange using red and yellow. They also learned how to draw a pumpkin and how to use curvy lines to create form.  Students cut out their pumpkins and glued them on to black paper. They added a vine and used curvy lines to draw it and the leaves. Some students added stars to their backgrounds.

3rd Grade Autumn Silhouttes

3rd grade learned about collage using tissue paper, drawing trees, overlapping, space, warm and cool colors, and silhouettes to create these amazing works or art.

Andy Goldsworthy Autumn Art Project

It  was a beautiful fall day outside so to take advantage of the weather I decided we should go outside and make art.  We watched some video clips of Andy Goldsworthy's Rivers and Tides. We talked a bit about design and how his art uses organic materials found in a particular location and how he cannot be attached to his work because weather and the elements take a toll on his work and erase it or alter it as time goes passes.  This was difficult for the kids as throughout the day I heard them complain that kids changed or "ruined" their work during recess.  They took photos of their work with the iPads. The results are incredible.
