Op-Art

5th grade just finished "Op-Art"  (the art of optical illusion).  We did our op-art on scratch art papers.  The colors and designs turned our really neat.  Here are some examples.








"A Bad Case of Stripes" self portrait

2nd grade recently read "A Bad Case of Stripes".  We actually listened and watched the story being told on  Storyline Online.  It is a wonderful website that has actors and actresses reading picture books.  We read a story about a girl named Camilla Cream, who caught a "bad case of stripes".  First, the students drew themselves.  After they finished drawing, they traced their drawing in Sharpie.  Then, we talked about the colors on the color wheel, the order they go in, and painted our bad case of stripes! Here are some examples below.








Abstract Line Art

3rd grade just completed their "Abstract Line Art" projects.  They turned out really neat! We taped sections on our paper with painter's tape.  Then, we talked about analogous colors and painted each section in with watercolor paints.  I told them to focus on blending the colors together.  Here are some examples below!
