Jim Dine for Valentine's

I have been saving these lessons for elementary classes all year!

Finally, it was the perfect time of year... Valentine's Day.

For these lessons, the students studied pop artist, Jim Dine. Dine painted common objects such as clothing, tools, and for our inspiration: hearts!

Here are the results...

Kindergarten through 2nd grade:

3rd and 4th grade:

We used a variety of processes with paint, glue, and oil pastels. 

They make me so happy!

Winter Mural

In the couple of weeks before we let out for Christmas Break, the elementary students created a Winter Mural. I wanted to do something different with a wow factor. I saw on a couple of art teach blogs that I follow, murals done by their students. They were fabulous! I knew Corner School could do it right!

The mural is still located at the elementary entrance of the school (near the teacher parking lot).

This is the break down of the mural:

- Kindergarten painted the sky and snow

- 1st grade drew, colored, and cut out leaves and small trees

- 2nd grade drew woodland creatures and made snowmen

- 3rd grade made houses, cars, and penguins

- 4th grade made snowflakes and carolers

I just LOVE it!
