The Very Busy Spider

2nd graders in were inspired by
Eric Carle’s book,
“The Very Busy Spider.”
Students learned how Eric Carle created his illustrations
in his books. Like Eric, students painted large sheets of paper with bright colors and made designs in wet paint using their paint brush handles!
2nd graders cut and glued their papers to create their own Very Busy Spiders!

Aboriginal Dot Art

In Art class, we have been studying Australia and aboriginal artwork. Aboriginals were the first people to live in Australia. 5th graders created this painting in the dot art style that the aboriginals used many years ago. Students also learned that the aboriginals would spit paint over their hands as a way of leaving their signature in caves. We did the same thing, except with watered down white paint in a spray bottle!

Value Paintings

In art class, we talked about color. We learned the vocabulary words; value, tint and shade. Value is the lightness or darkness of a color. Tint is the lightness of a color. Shade is the darkness of a color. 5th graders picked a color and created different tints in the shapes that they drew.

Koi Fish

In art class, 4th graders studied Koi fish. The word Koi means carp in Japanese. Koi fish also symbolize love and friendship in Japan. 4th graders drew Koi fish using colored pencils and added waves using black chalk. The red “chop” you see, is a personal stamp used by artists to sign their work.

Neutral Owls

1st graders learned about owls in art class. Students also learned about the neutral colors; black, white, brown and gray

Picasso Portraits
