First graders read the book I’m the Best Artist in the Ocean. We discussed the difference between abstract and realistic art using images from the book. Finally, each student created a squid drawing something they felt they were good at drawing. Using a special salt watercolor technique and cool colors, students painting their backgrounds.

First grade students learned about the artwork of Andy Warhol, specifically, his Campbell's soup can prints. We also looked at the art of contemporary artist Lindsey Wohlman, who created a series that visualizes the insides of Warhol's soup cans through gelatine-mixed freestanding soup sculptures (visit the link below to see her work). Students used the resist watercolor technique to create their alphabet soups and added a short word or phrase made out of "noodles" to their soup spoon. They collaged their work together and added shadows to make their work appear three dimensional. To see more student work click here!
We began this project by reading the book Love Monster. We talked about inclusion and accepting everyone’s unique characteristics. We then discussed the different emotions the love monster experiences throughout the story and sketched different facial expressions that represent these emotions. Then using symmetry each student created hearts and their own love monster. Finally, students chose an emotion/facial expression to add to their love monster. To see more student workclick here!
