Color wheels, rainbows and butterfies! oh---and angels!

I was a bit lax about posting here in November/Dec---the days just got very busy like the holidaze tend to. I was taking photos however----here are some of the art projects we worked on at the school...

We studied some color theory---here are some color wheels the children painted--with primary and secondary colors. They learned about secondary colors by mixing them from the primary colors.....

The kinders, 1st, and 2nd graders created rainbows using oil pastels and paint---an oil pastel resist. The gov't printing office gave the school 4 big boxes of ends of papers--all various sizes---so I designed this project with this blue paper---(quite a long rectangle)---in mind.

the kinders and 1st graders also created happy monsters one day! we used a straw to blow the runny paint around then added the face...

see my happy monster?

We also created symmetrical butterflies---using thick paint and folding the paper, then cutting out the butterfly we had traced on the back of the paper...the kids loved this project. It  was fun to hear their ohhs! and awws! when you unfolded the wet paper and saw the lovely colors repeated....

Now the art room walls are looking nice and bright with the children's art!

The school held a Christmas Fair the last week of school in December. I created a craft table for the fair and the children had fun gluing sparky sequins to stars, Christmas trees, and angels.
