Pattern Replication

Students created Patterns using simple shapes and lines with pencil, marker, and crayon. The second part of the project was to recreate theirs same pattern using watercolor. They explored watercolor techniques and compared their finished works of art.

Symmetry Owls

Students created Owls while learning about symmetry and the line of symmetry. They were introduced to chalk coloring and explored their techniques through this project.

Fall Leaf Prints

Students studied fall leaves and created leaf prints with tempera paint. We studied the lines in the veins of the leaves and observed the outline the leaves create on the paper. We then practiced coloring and cutting out paper leaves.

Apple Worm Patterns

Students created a fall harvest apple and added a worm filled in with different lines, shapes, and pattern. The students self-explored oil pastels and used them to color their apple worm patterns.
