Snowflake Mosaics

The 4^th Grade students combined science, recycling and art into this wintry artwork.  They learned about the science behind snowflakes and how they are symmetrical, radial designs.  After cutting out the snowflake designs, the students learned about the ancient art form of Mosaic and used recycled CD pieces to add a reflective quality to their artwork.  These beautiful artworks are as unique as real snowflakes and the students themselves!  I want to thank my friend and colleague Zach Stoller from Thomas Elementary for the idea!

Magazine Color Collage

The 2nd Graders just finished these magazine collages in which they demonstrated Warm and Cool colors.  They had a lot of fun looking through different magazines and finding  the colorful images for their collage.  It was a difficult test, but they passed with flying COLORS!

Scarecrows

The 2nd Graders created these wonderful Scarecrow artworks just in time for the harvest season! Students learned about “Landscapes” and created their own using a farm as inspiration. In this mixed-media approach, students had an opportunity to use oil pastels, watercolors, construction paper, buttons, fabric and raffia to create their Scarecrow artworks!
