The final stretch.....

Spring Break is over.. and April showers have finally arrived!!!

This being the first year back at elementary... I am unsure on how to finish but I am excited with what we have in store for us!
ARTWORK is going home... depending on the grade level, you have a lot or a little....
2nd grade worked hard on Team collaboration projects this year with their Chihuly chandeliers, Keith Haring action life-size paintings, and Van Gogh basket of yarn-painted Sunflowers... I love the collaborative projects!

4th Grade:
Paw Collaborative Project.  & Paper Mache.
Each student will be given a (  ) sheet.  They will develop their Paw Print and decide what kind of media they would like to use... using more of a drawing platform / painting platform / or a mixed media platform to create their paw print to be put up for permanent display in the library.
Each class will be doing a different variation of the Paw Project and this will go with our PBIS work on 'Being a Top Dog' at Howe Elementary.

Paper Mache-  love this stuff.. and lets face it.  it is time to get messy... we will be making paper mache bowls... pretty low key but definitely doable.

3rd grade will be developing a Totem Pole Project for our School Garden....
Pacific Northwest Totem Pole History Video.
Native American Totem Poles and Their Meanings.
Examples from another Art Classroom....in Alberta, Canada + Ms. McCallum's Art Room.

Color. Texture. Pattern... What would we like for our class totem?

Grade 2:

Cityscape Painting... a focus on Architecture.  Pattern.  Color.  With 3 musts.. a Road, Buildings, Sky... the rest is all up to them.

Grade 1:

Dippity dyes & Fish Fun.....
