Ready for the 2nd Grade Play

 

My second graders have finished their sea creatures and their ocean mural for their play in music!  They will be performing for the kindergarten, first graders and their families at the end of April.  Here are some photos of their finished ocean mural and some more of their sea creatures!  Everyone who passes the Art/Music room stops in to admire their mural!  They are so proud of it!  They did a great job!



The Music Teacher is going to put blue paper behind it for the paly so everything blends.

Cubist Ocean Scenes - 3d Grade

 

Here are some watercolor paintings that my third graders did in September.  This is by far one of my favorite lessons that we did this year!  I found the idea on Artsonia in the lesson ideas section.  I don't remember the exact name of the lesson and couldn't find it again when I looked, so sorry , I couldn't link it to that exact lesson.  If it is your lesson, please let me know so I can give you credit!  If I remember correctly, I believe it was a lesson for middle school and I adapted it to fit the needs and objectives for my third graders.  The students loved the lesson and it was a great kick-off for the school year!  We studied several different cubist paintings and pictures of sea life before getting started.  I drew up drawing directions for making many different types of fish and sea life.  We also used the ocean drawing books in the art room for ideas.  Enjoy!
