Silly Cows

Inspired by the book, Click, Clack, Moo, Cows That Type.

This one cracked me up.  

As described by my student, the girl cow is looking at the boy cow.

Adorable.  Need I say more?!

1st Grade: Non-Objective Art

Non-Objective Art

1st Graders looked at a variety of Non-Objective art.  After discussing what "Non-Objective" is, they were able to paint freely on day 1.  On day 2, they drew many designs on top of their paintings.  Once complete, they cut their work into little squares using a grid already drawn on the back of their work.  The next step was to re-assemble their work into a new "Non-Objective" piece of art.  Very cool.

(give or take 12"X12" paper, watercolor, Sharpies, crayons, pencils, markers, glue, & construction paper backing)

Ants on a Pizza

 

Ants on a Pizza!

1st day was just creating the grid, sorting out the pattern, & outlining it in Sharpie.

2nd day was painting the grid.

3rd day was drawing & painting the pizza...our tempera is pretty thin, so we did the crust & sauce 1st.

4th day: painting cheese & toppings

5th day: cut & glue pizza to tablecloth...add ants

6th day (finished in about 2 minutes) add antennae & legs.  

(We, naturally, started a new project on the 6th day.)
