Some finished weavings

Some students have been studying still life...

And while we have been working in value study and pencil / charcoal, this is a fun still life "experience"!

1st grade Cats!!

1st graders took a slight deviation (my only one so far this year) from our "nature theme" to be taught a little perspective.  We built a room, a rug, and a cat to sit on that rug. :)  Very "winter", but not very "nature".  We got right back on the horse though, next up - DINOSAURS!

Some fun with Aurora Borealis...

In progress weaving...

Mixed Media Owls

After drawing their owls and transferring those drawings onto styrofoam "printing plates" students were responsible for printing their owls.  They marbled paper with leaves on them using shaving cream and liquid water colors, and painted their background trees.  Here we are in final assemble of all the different the pieces!
