Kindergarten
Color Wheel Rainbows!
This lesson was designed to be yet another visit to the concepts of the color wheel and a review of the vocabulary words. It was also, a great way to try and get some more cheer into the school. We are seriously over Winter and need some warm Spring weather!

3rd Grade
Model Magic Snowmen
A fun way to introduce sculpture techniques to the 3rd graders and totally have lots of fun with air dry clay! Each student was given one packet of Crayola Model Magic and a recycled CD and several sculpting tools. Day 1: was spent creating the snowmen and any other added features, such as; eyes, scarves, boots, noses, etc.. Day 2: after letting the sculptures air dry for several days, color was added with colored sharpies, ribbons were added and arms were attached with pipe cleaners.

Radial Weaving
Each year I do a weaving lesson with my 3-5 grades, and for the most part, the kids really enjoy the experience. I think its because they really get to work independently for several Art classes with very little interruptions.

Kindergarten
In Kindergarten we recently celebrated fire safety and awareness by creating these very cool firetrucks made from recycled cardboard egg carton tops. This is a favorite in my Art curriculum, I don't do many projects repeatedly, but I admit that this firetruck lesson tends to pop back into Kindergarten Art lessons each year.

5th Grade
Georgia O'Keeffe
Desert/Skull Lesson
The students studied many different works of art from the great female Artist Georgia O'Keeffe. We were inspired to make "rugs" from her time in the Southwest, when she was inspired by Native Americans and Art of Mexico. O'Keeffe also did many painting of bones that she found in the desert, so we also added a drawn Steer's skull.

OP Art
5th Grade learned more about OP art with this lesson, we also discussed color value. Each student created the black and white circles and then picked colors that were light and dark to compliment the circles. The goal was to get the impression of depth with the alternating convex and concave radiating lines.
