Shapes and Colors of Fall

KINDERGARTEN ART

Students made a still life picture of a vase of sunflowers. 

They also explored shape and texture by

 tracing leaf shapes and filling

 them in using texture plates. 

                                                        FIRST GRADE ART

                                                      Students made sunflower windsocks.  They made petals out of construction paper.  They wrapped a piece of tissue paper around their pencil

 and then stuck it in the glue in the middle

of their flower. 

Streamers were added at the end.

SECOND GRADE ART

Students made a leaf design.  They used  leaf tracers and were given the instruction  to REPEAT, OVERLAPP, AND GO OFF THE PAGE with them.  They were to fill the space of their paper.  Then they outlined with crayon and used watercolors to make their wonderful fall design.

GRADE 2

THIRD GRADE ART

Students created a leaf design.  Using leaf tracers, they put chalk around the edge of the leaf.  They laid the leaf on their paper and with a tissue whisked the chalk off and onto the paper.  When they lifted the leaf a negative image of the leaf appeared.  Excitement filled the air.  To make a good design they were reminded to OVERLAPP, REPEAT, AND GO OFF THE PAGE with their leaves.  Choosing good colors and placement helped them complete their design.

 

GRADE 3

FOURTH GRADE ART

Students were guided step by step in drawing a realistic looking pumpkin. Then students outlined everything with glue.   A 3d loop in the vine and leaves were also added.  Having the colors blend was stressed and not to have a pumpkin that looked like a piece of candy corn.  Students colored the pumpkin orange making sure they colored in ONE direction.  Next white was added at the top for a highlight.  Yelllow was then blended into the white and orange.  Shading was done coming up from the bottom of the pumpkin by blending with red.

 

GRADE 4

FIFTH GRADE ART

Students chose various gourds for their shape and color.  They arranged them making a still life in the middle of their table.  They were to draw the gourds LARGE, OVERLAPPING, AND GOING OFF THE PAGE.  Then the picture was outlined with glue.  After it dried ,  a mixed media approach was taken by using oil pastels and chalk pastels.
