2nd Grade Secondary Color Owls

These owls are absolutely adorable!  I loved making them with the 2nd graders!

We painted papers with Orange, Violet and Green, then used paint scrapers to add texture.

We layered our owl pieces to create a collage affect.  The eyeballs are totally hilarious!

Author/Illustrator Duncan Tonatiuh visits and Inspires Jefferson Art Students

Recently our school was very fortunate to have the talented author and illustrator Duncan Tonatiuh come and visit grades 3-5.  In honor of his visit all students in these grades did Art lessons inspired by his work.  4th grade created Aztec masks, 3rd grade created Aztec inspired radial symmetrical "suns" using metal tooling.  5th grade drew personal self-portraits in the style of our visiting author.
