Catching Up


We've been to school a big 11 days since my last post on November 29.  We've had snow, snow and more snow here in East Tennessee and we just don't handle snow real well.  Two inches can shut us down and it did!  So I'm going to show off some of the art we did manage to squeeze in.

 Second Grade Scarecrows




Renoir "Movement" Paintings
 Their paintings needed to be of dancers and show that they were moving. 




The kindergartners painted some Mayflowers.



 We enjoyed our lesson on Splatter Monsters.  They had to turn their blown paint splatters into some sort of person doing something.  They were very creative!
 


Not sure why they are sideways.

We did some really pretty poinsettia paintings. Too bad we never went back to school after they were done so they never made it home before Christmas!

 We've started the year off studying Marc Chagall and made some pretty crayon melted stain glass windows.
