Hi everyone!
So this is the last week for art lessons. I hope you have been able to enjoy art at home. This week we are creating some drawings that reveal a surprise. Watch this video to help you get started. You'll need paper and something used for coloring. Have fun and be creative. Check out my google slides presentation below if you need inspiration.
I have enjoyed teaching each and every one of you at Franklin! I look forward to seeing you at Franklin in the fall.
Have a wonderful summer!

Hi everyone!
This week we will be creating a color wheel using objects you can find around your home. Check you my video to help you get started. Have fun creating your own color wheel. I'd love to see it. Send a photo to ahynes@westfieldnjk12.org
Hi Everyone!
This week we are starting a new project. We are creating a relief collage. Relief art is a sculpture with 3-D parts that sits on a flat background usually hanging on a wall. A collage is a collection of items that are put together to create a new piece of art. In our art this week, we will start by creating an underwater scene and an ocean floor with implied texture (that means not real texture, just the look of texture). Check out this video to help you get started. Don't forget to place a picture of your artwork in Padlet by clicking here.
Have fun creating art this week!
Hi everyone! This week I'd like you to try something new. I have heard from some of you as you have emailed me a photo of you and/or your artwork. I love seeing what you have been creating. So I am asking that you use Padlet to share your artwork with me. Watch the video to see how easy it is to add your work to the Padlet site.
And then watch the video below to check out the art we will be drawing this week.
Hi everyone!
This week we are going to decorate the salt dough creations that you made with you salt dough last week. Hopefully, your salt dough is dry and ready to be colored. If your dough is not dry yet, maybe an adult can put it on a cookie sheet in the oven at 250 degrees for about an hour. Once it's cooled down, it will be ready to decorate.
The video I am sharing shows you 3 different techniques for decorating your creations - sharpies, crayola markers (or any regular markers), and watercolors (you could even use food coloring mixed with water). Have fun and send photos. I love to see what you are up to!
Miss you all,
Mrs. Hynes
Hi all!
This week we are going to be making some salt dough using the recipe below. We will also be molding that dough into so awesome art to be decorated next week. Below are the recipe and 2 videos you'll need to help you with the salt dough creations. Have fun and don't forget to send some photos.
Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup table salt
1/2 cup water
Directions:
Mix flour and salt together in a large bowl. Add water to mixture and blend until all ingredients come together until combined. If the dough is too wet (sticky), add some flour. If the dough is too dry (crumbly), add a little water. Place dough on the table covered with some flour and knead until smooth.
Once you finish creating a piece of art with you dough, you'll want to let it dry. There are two ways to dry salt dough. First, salt dough can be air dried. That means you can let the air in your house or outside take all the moisture out of you dough. This way of drying take about a week. Or your dough can be dried in the oven at 250 degrees for about an hour depending on the thickness of your dough.
Remember to follow the videos below to help you.

Hello my Franklin 2nd grade friends!
If you did not receive a packet on Friday, I am including the link here to print the packet out at home.
I'm sad that we can't be together right now but I know that you are going to create some amazing art while you are home. Please send me photos of your art so I can see it.
Send it to me at ahynes@westfieldnjk12.org
Thanks and have fun creating!
