Space Collage.

 

First grade learned the art element of  "Space" by creating a outer space collage.  The requirement is that they had to cut and paste at least three different objects into their "space".  One had to be a rocket complete with fire.  We also discussed warm, cool, and neutral colors.  The students definitely did not space out on this one.

Van Gogh is the master of cool.

 

First grade learned about cool colors and how Vincent Van Gogh used them in his painting "The Starry Night".  The students did their own version, they had to prove to me that their work ended up with a cool feeling.  They used a little bit of crayon and a whole lot of tempera paint.  Good job Vincent Van First Grade!
