There can be a little juggling when it comes to completing projects and getting them displayed. As a new teacher it takes a moment to catch on, but though they may not make it in the halls due to time or other plans, they still deserve recognition.
First graders had a blast learning how to be MAD SCIENTISTS with the project below! Not only were they make discoveries by having the chance to investigate how colors mix together in various combinations (as well as get the chance to give these wicked "potions" fun names and powers) but they were also given the chance to be "magicians" as they learned to transform a 2D shape into a 3D form.

As a continuation, students were shocked to discover that the fumes from their "potions" were creating interesting effects on the shapes in the art room. Thus, the "Monster Book" came into being as students transformed basic shapes into silly and sometimes "scary" creatures, each with a favorite activity and food!
Third graders have had the fun of learning about George Seurat and his pointillism technique; we even got to watch a fun clip from "Artrageous with Nate!" to learn some fun facts about George Seurat! Though this project took longer than expected the students had a blast filling in their hot air balloons with "hundreds" of tiny dots! Students learned how to create dark and light colors based on the proximity of their dots. They also learned to identify how color relates to distance as well as which color group sunrises and sunsets fell in (ask them!).
