Winter Cardinals
In art class, third graders learned about cardinals. They are such a popular bird seven states have named them their state bird! We also learned that the male cardinals are bright red and the females are brown. Students painted cardinals on a branch on a snowy day.
Beautiful work third graders!
Oil Pastel Toucans
After studying the rainforest in Art class, fifth graders learned a bit about toucans and how to draw one. Then they colored their masterpieces with oil pastels. Great job kids!

Liquid Watercolor Zebras
I got this idea from smART class blog but 4th graders just did a close up of a zebra's eye instead of the entire zebra. Here is the site: http://elementaryartfun.blogspot.com/2011/11/zebras-tigers-and-giraffes-oh-my.html
At my other school, my fifth graders are creating the zebra head and body like the ones on smART class blog and they are turning out SO great! Can't wait to post them. I love liquid watercolors and so do the kids!
African Masks
Third grade students were introduced to Africa and African masks through power point. Students learned that African masks were used for many purposes such as celebrations, war preparation, ceremonies, harvest time and communicating with ancestors. Third grade students really enjoyed creating their own 3-D African mask. They had to make their masks symmetrical and use neutral colors.
They are all wonderful works of art!
