Collaborative painting and relief sculpture by Ms. Borowski's fourth grade class. Students first painted the mural using tempera paint, then added details on top using acrylic paint. The Bird of Paradise sculpture was made using bottle and marker caps, old wooden rulers and one large sheet of cardboard saved from a new piece of equipment bought for the art room this year. The students first painted the bird, then attached the other items using hot glue. Beautiful!

2nd graders studied the life and art of Leonardo Da Vinci! They learned that he was practically a genius in all the amazing inventions that he had and art that he created. We studio The Last Supper and the Mona Lisa. In addition to being an amazing realistic painter, he drew in his sketchbook the first helicopter, tank and even a robot well before these were even created! After studying the robot invention, 2nd graders created their own robots and used random gadgets to do some printmaking in the frame! https://drive.google.com/file/d/0Bw9aQPtQ5VU0cHVwcE9MczlWWFE/edit?usp=sharing Download Lesson Plan Here

I was inspired by this post from Krokotak and this from the Crafty Crow. Birds and recycled cardboard?! You have me at my happy place! The children could choose to create their own bird using bird almanac illustrations as inspiration or they could create a basic bird (perfect for my kinders) from a direct line drawing lesson and and add their own little special details. Beyond the acrylic paint, oil and chalk pastels offered, I had all sorts of finishing touches to add character: sequins, buttons, feathers and stick legs. (Miss Mary cut the cardboard with an X-acto knife and used the glue gun for heavy pieces.) Thanks to the guys at Arnold's Hardware for creating (last minute) dowel bases to showcase these extra large birds. It made all the difference! Birds average between 2-3 feet tall. I had to join the fun and create a couple birds as well

Have you ever wanted to go on safari and experience the most spectacular skies? Africa's safari sunsets are incomparable! With a horizon stretched endlessly as far as the eye can see, the sky's breathtaking hues look like they're about to catch fire. Want to make your own beautiful African safari sunset? This sunset shadow tracing art is super easy and comes out beautifully every time. The perfect activity for your little ones for some pretend play and a quick geography lesson! Materials Needed: Color Paper Scissors Marker Glue Step 1 Grab your orange-colored paper and set it aside. Then, carefully rip a long, lengthwise piece from your black paper with your hands to create a mountain horizon. Glue it to the bottom of your paper. Step 2 Repeat step 2 with the yellow colored paper. Glue that piece to the top of your orange background to create the top of your sky. Then, rip two thinner pieces and glue them just below with small gaps between. Step 3 Use your black colored paper cut out some animal and tree shapes to finish your African sunset!
