First grade dinosaurs!

Lots of skills explored here. Texture, space, overlapping, painting, cutting, etc.




Clay, Clay, Clay!

I am so happy I figured out the kiln. It is my new favorite thing in the art room!

This week at the Tucker school we have a very special exhibit in the art room! Three amazing reproductions of paintings by Vincent van Gogh are on display from the Teacher's Discovery program.

5th Grade ACE chalk pastel landscapes

I am really enjoying my 5th grade ACE class, they are so enthusiastic about art. ACE is for students that want to take art more seriously, and explore art concepts that may not be covered in a regular art class. Students have to apply, and if accepted, must agree to miss recess one day a week. We have been looking at landscapes by artist Wolf Khan, and talking about his use of color. Here are some of the student work that was inspired by this artist.
