"Scream" Inspired Artwork

3rd grade just finished learning about artist, Edvard Munch.  They looked at his famous painting, The Scream.  We took their pictures and used them in our own "scream" drawings.  They drew what they could possibly be screaming about.  I loved all of the creative ideas they had.

Abstract Splatter Art

5th grade just completed some abstract "splatter art".  We did this artwork by putting watercolor paints on our paper and blowing the paint around with a straw.  After we did the splatters, we filled the background in with a line design.  They turned out really neat!

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!

Solar System Art

2nd grade just finished solar system art.  We talked about all of the planets in our solar system.  We chose a few to try to paint and used watercolor paint and oil pastel to make the planets look more realistic.  After we finished painting the planets, we cut them out and glued them on a black piece of paper.  We added rings around a planet and stars.  We only did 4 planets because of time, but I would like to try it again with ALL of the planets on a large sheet of paper!   :)
