2013 Garden Tour poster contest

Chalk it Up 2013

For the past few years the school wide Chalk it Up has marked the end of the STAR testing and opening of the Mother's Day Garden Tour weekend (the fund raiser that makes the art program possible). Every classroom participates in this fun, messy and very colorful event.

Royal Dogs

This fun end of the school year project for 5th grade takes a leap from the American History text of the Revolutionary War.
2-3 sessions to complete using lots of dog images and print of 18th century royal fashions. Drawings were done in pencil  including a frame or boarder,  outlined with sharpie and crayon and last watercolors.

Primary Color Blocks

Inspired by the work of Piet Mondrian students practiced using a ruler to create a variety of squares and rectangles within  a grid like format. Primary colors using watercolor paints, were added and black was used to provide balance.

Folk Cat

Using direct drawing as a jumping off point students created their own cat pattern. They used this form to trace and cut out a "fabric" (Old wall paper samples) cat. Using a hole puncher they made an seam/outline that they laced with yarn. Last details were added with buttons and thin black sharpie.

Fishy Fishy

This direct drawing project was inspired by a pinterest post

I expanded the project and added a few additional details.
The students really enjoyed creating their own Koi like fish using crayon resist and watercolor paints.
