Chinese Willow Pattern Plates

We are learning about China in third grade so we learned about Chinese Willow Pattern Plates. We talked about tints and shades and practiced mixing colors. Our third grade students did a great job!


Wayne Theibaud Cupcakes

Our Second grade students learned about artist Wayne Theibaud and his sweet pictures. We made our own cupcake pictures with real cupcakes to observe. They are so colorfu!

Here are some awesome Alien school pictures we made in first grade. We are studying the solar system. The idea is based off of Art with Mr. E's great art blog. These turned out so cute!
