Lusher Elementary - Hazelwood School District
5th graders created a color wheel spider web using chalk. Students first had to divide their paper into 12 sections. They added a spider or two using glue. After that dried, students filled in each section using chalk, and blended the primary and secondary colors together to create their 6 intermediate colors. They overlaid a spider web on top using white chalk to complete their project.
After 5th grade completed their chalk spider web, students followed along with an Art for Kids Hub drawing video to create a Zombie Hand coming out of the ground.
With some KG and 1st grade art projects, students rotate between different table groups. This allows me time to assist a smaller group of students with their artwork while other students participate in activities such as: tracing and drawing independently, looking at books based off the art project theme, building with blocks, creating sculpture using connects, or lining up dominoes. I try to incorporate different rotation activities for our art projects throughout the school year.
Inspired by Sol y Luna artwork, 3rd grade students used lines and patterns to draw a combined sun and moon. Then students used watercolors to paint their sun side with warm colors and their moon side with cool colors.
4th grade started a drawing prompt activity. The focus is not about having the best artwork, but to think “outside the box” and use creativity. Below are some of student illustrations for the prompt: Draw a fish swimming in something other than water.
