First grade frenzy!
I must say, first grade this year has been my most favorite first grade yet. It bums me out that I only get to see them once a week! But we have been doing some great work and having a blast in art so far.
This northern lights project introduced the class to the wonderful world o’ watercolors. The secret is to tickle the paint until you hear it giggle. Then it is ready. True story. We also connected our art to the wonderful world of science. Students finished their paintings by adding white dots for snow/stars and cut either trees or mountains from black paper.
And of course, we could not pass up the opportunity to show some LOVE for Valentine’s. We looked at the art of Jim Dine and Robert Inidana for inspiration. In each section, students used a different medium. The supplies rotated from table to table. We used watercolor, marker, color sticks, and do-a-dot markers. Stamps were used to print LOVE.
