Cornucopia's! I gave a few different references for this project to help with inspiration.. We practiced color blending, shading and following the form!

Fall Leaves

 I did this lesson with 1st - 5th grade. I bought fall leaves at Michael's for cheap money! (I can reuse them every year, so it is worth it) The kids had to observe the leaves and try their best to copy them.

 

Van Gogh anyone?

This project I will do every year! I had so much fun teaching it and the kids love learning about Van Gogh. We started with oil pastels and then finished it off with a watercolor wash. Each students picture was different from the next!

Turkey Line Drawing

The students worked very hard on these turkey line drawings.  We focused on painting carefully and slowly so that we don't miss any of the details!  This picture above is the reference that they were using.

Best Lesson Ever!

I am so pleased with the outcome of this lesson.  It took a long time to complete, but the end results are worth it.  The 3rd graders really worked hard on their observational drawing before starting to collage.  I really focused on the sunflower itself, how BIG the petals are and the shape of them.  The drawings led to some amazing collages!

Just Lovely

I am SO  impressed with my second graders.  They blow me away with every project we do.  They are just amazingly creative!!! This is an observational lesson where the students had to look at the flowers and draw what they actually see rather than what they think they see!  We practiced color mixing as well.  The results were just beautiful.
