Great basin collard lizard paintings

Our Fourth grade students have been learning about the different environmental regions of Utah. We learned about the Great Basin collared lizard and painted it in its natural environment. Great job fourth grade!

The Scream!

In Fourth grade last week we studied a painting by Norwegian artist Edvard Munch called The Scream. We had a great time making our own versions of the scream!

Warm and cool colored hands

We are learning about heat and light in third grade, so we talked about warm and cool colors and the contrast they create. Then we made a contrasting picture using warm and cool colors. This lesson is from artprojectsforkids.org

6th grade Modigliani portraits

For our back to school self-portraits, we looked at the artist Amedeo Modigliani's work. We did our self portraits in the style of Modigliani, with elongated necks and features. We used oil pastels.

Crazy birds!

Our fourth graders reviewed some art skills and vocabulary from last year as we practiced drawing crazy birds. We talked about overlapping and depth. This lesson is from Deepspacesparkle.com.
