Hendricks and Wydick's Class Creates Tinted Robots

These were a hit!  Everyone was asking if they could make robots but my wonderful students from Mrs. Hendricks and Mrs. Wydick's class were the lucky chosen ones.  This two day project started with brainstorming a unique robot.  What does your robot do?  Does it have different functions?  Maybe a name? (Mine was Robot Ronda)  Can it fly?  Make pizza?  Run as fast as lightning?  Then students painting their robot by making their own blue tint.  The second class period, students added all of the function and detail with sharpie and paint.  The turned out outstanding!

Icosahedron - 20 Sided Shape

Look at how cool this is!!!!  After learning what an icosahedron was in art the other day, one of our students went home and made an origami icosahedron.  I am so impressed!  Thank you for sharing!

Compliment Board at St. A

I LOVE the compliment board at St. A.  When students finish early they have the chance to free draw, read an art book or write compliments to other students in the school (art and effort based of course!) The board is starting to fill up!  Keep it up St. A artists!

Thank You Brownings!

Thank you Brownings for the pencils!  As you can see, our other are getting quite short.  I am hoping this will hold us order till our new art supplies come in!

1st Grade Line Paintings

It is time to get into paint!  St. A and St. M students have been creating line paintings.  We discussed the different kinds of lines that there are and students presented them in a fun way!  I love how bright they are!  

Elements and Principles of Design Skateboards at St. Monica

At St. Monica, middle school students have been working on creating a skateboard design using the elements and principles of design.  I am blow away by the time and focus that this group of students has had.  They have put a ton of work into these and they all ready look amazing!  I can't wait to see the end result.  Here is the sneak peak...

First Grade Pizza Collages at St. A

Frank Stella Geometric Paintings Update

Grossman and Smith's class started painting their geometric designs today.   I quizzed them at the beginning of class to see if they remembered the difference between a geometric shape and an organic shape...they got all of my questions right.  You guys are so smart, I have to come up with some harder questions!
