Art Projects Overload!

This is what we've been working on in art the last month.

 Silly Socks (1st and 2nd graders)! This is the example and these....

 are what some of the kids came up with! I love the one with high heals!

 Black and White Alphabet (1st Graders)

 Newspaper monsters and flowers (2nd-3rd grade)   (sorry picture rotating problems)
Here are some of the student's work....

They turned out so cute, the students LOVED doing them!

 Primary and Secondary colors (4th and 5th graders)

 Fun alternating patterns (3rd grade).

 Valentines using an old reading workbook (seriously old!) and water colors (3rd - 5th grades)

 Gustav Klimt inspired trees (4th - 5th grade)
and some of their completed works. (they all did such awesome work!!) I was so impressed with how artistic and creative they all were!

Being the art teacher is seriously one of the very best jobs I have ever had. I love being creative and seeing others creativity come to light. The students impress me and inspire me everyday! Some of the ideas I use are my own, but I have been doing so much research, hours upon hours upon hours! I am sooo grateful for the many great art blogs that inspire me or provide the whole lesson plan! They have been a life-saver!!
This week we are working on Jim Dine inspired water color hearts. They are turning out so cute. It's a fun project!

And that's the fun Birch Creek Elementary is having in art!

(For my homeschooling friends, if you want some good resources for art, let me know. I'll direct you to some great blogs!)
