Kindergarten Self-Portraits

Kindergarteners learned about mixed media and self-portraits for this project. They used construction paper, markers, colored pencils and yarn to create a picture of themselves. Enjoy!







Happy (Abstract) Valentines Day

2nd Graders used toilet paper rolls to create a heart shaped stamp. They stamped their entire papers to create an abstract painting.  The stairwell looks very festive!

4th Grade Birch Trees

This is one of my favorite lessons to do with fourth grade. There are a lot of skills within this one project and the results are always impressive!

Fourth graders talked about warm and cool colors and chose one of the schemes for their sky. We then looked at birch trees and created them to go in the foreground. Finally, details and shadows were added with black paint to show a light source.

Hi

Welcome to the CKS Art Blog. Instead of posting individual links to different projects, all types of projects and classroom happenings will be posted here on the blog.

The projects currently hanging in the hallway include these collages done by 5th grade. They used a variety of paper to create a collage. They then did a drawing of an instrument from a source photo. They transferred their drawing to their collage and painted on top. These were inspired by the works of Picasso.
