Wacky Color wheel Bird!
In 1st grade we started talking about the color wheel. We talked about primary and secondary colors.
I had them pick a primary color, then make a dot on the middle of the paper, then draw lines straight out in that color (Like if we where making a slice of cake). Then we choose a secondary color that the color we used came from - the primary color. We repeat the same as before till the wheel was complete.
materials : crayons, scissors, 2 pieces of white paper.

Monster Bash!
In this project, we talked about using space. At times my younger student like to draw very small. With this project we started on one side of the paper, making a curve then ending it on the other side of the paper. Then I let there imagination's go! After they drew their Monster. We turned this project into a rubbing one. Creating some details. Then I had them cut out there monsters, then glued them onto a bigger paper. I then add the black lines.

Flamingos in the Garden
I made some temples for my students to trace the flamingo out. But before they could cut it out, they painted the hole sheet pink. On a 5by4 sheet of white paper. We drew a beak and a eye, outlining them with a black sharpie. I printed out a paper of leaves. They used watercolor to color the leaves in, by using cool colors. Then they cut and pasted everything together.
It was a fun project with a lot of different steps. They all have there own personalities.
Materials: Pink tempera paint, green watercolor, white crayons, glue, scissors, and black sharpie.
