Encore BINGO Square I3 on the 3rd-5th Board

Encore BINGO Square I3

Draw the following 3D forms: cube, cone, pyramid, cylinder and rectangular prism. 
Now creatively change each form (cube into a robot).

This BINGO square was a lot of fun to draw.  To inspire my creative changes, I looked around my environment and utilized my imagination.  I can't wait to see what you choose to draw with your geometric shapes! 
 (If you need help learning how to draw these shapes, take a look at the video and drawing guides that I have linked below.)

Using inspiration from Georgia O'Keeffe, our 3rd graders created awesome clay flowers. The kiddos were so excited to wrap them up and take them home!
3rd Grade
Designing Movement

Our 3rd graders worked on creating the felling of movement using simple designs and playing with placement.  They had a lot of fun with this quick assignment!


Our "Family Fun Night" was a ton of ...well...FUN!  This year, we held an art show with a twist.  Instead of just coming in and look at the art that the kiddos made, we set up Give it a TRY stations so the parents can sit down and learn from the kids how to do the projects that they see.  It was wonderful to see the student teaching their parents!  
Here are a few fun shots of the festivities, thanks to Mrs. Johnson!
Learning how to draw a room using one-point-perspective.

Teaching their parents how to sew.

Adding artwork to our "Cave" :)
Teaching each other how to do Origami!


We had a blast!






3rd Grade Clay Flowers

 Spring is surely in FULL bloom in the Art Room!    
After being inspired by the beautiful flower painting of Georgia O'Keeffe, our 3rd graders studied silk flower and drew up plans for their clay creations.  
All loaded up in the kiln and ready to fire!


While we did model the structure of our clay flower to resemble real flowers, we did cut loose and get creative with the colors! 
 


Weaving Wonders!
Collaborative Co-Grade Level Project

To help reinforce weaving concepts across all level, we have two large scale weaving projects that we are all working collaboratively to create.  The kiddos love getting the chance to add a few rows when they finish early.  

This awesome Loom was created for us this year by a parent volunteer.  We are weaving with recycled t-shirt yarn on this loom.  Our goal for this one to make a functional rug that we can use in the library.  We don't have a specific pattern or plan for this weaving... so we will see how it goes and grows!
Our 1st graders are currently learning how to create mini looms and weavings based on this big one!  I'll post more on this project as they finish up :)


 Our second loom was created out of two branches and twine.  We are weaving with shredded scraps of donated clothes and fabrics.  I worked with our older grades to create a plan for a woven picture.  They decided on creating a "Coastal Landscape".  It is looking really good so far!  I love love love the textures of the random fabric scraps!
