Kindergarten Self Portraits

Kindergarten studied facial features and expression. The students studied their faces and detail in a mirror. We sketched and practiced a simple step-by-step process. We did the final project on large paper and they finished with a background.

Savannah Scribble Drawings

Students discovered a new art technique by scribble drawing instead of traditional coloring. Students also learned about the environment of the Savannah and the animals that live there.

Simple Snow Men

Kindergarten were introduced to a simple step by step process to create a snowman and added snow by practicing cutting small shapes.

Fly Me To The Moon; Spaceships!

Students in first grade learned how to draw a simple spaceship by adding shapes together. They customized their spaceship by adding a flag and colors. We discussed spaceships, their uses, and where future spaceships might go.

How To Draw A Dragon

Happy New Years 2013, February 10th commemorates the year of the Snake, According to Chinese Zodiac Signs! When we finished our Dragons, we were still in the year of the Dragon. Everyone who has an imagination enjoys Dragons. The students loved this project and to finish, they wrote a few sentences about their Dragon.

"Fly me away to the clouds, let me close my eyes. Travel through waterfalls and a rainbow. Until we reach infinity, where our dreams are endless."
