Art with Mrs. O'Neill

Second grade does Asia for arts in school night. This year we created scrolls, while learning brush work. We also did Gyoutaku fish prints, and koi fish. The students had some wonderful work when we were finished...

Third grade worked hard on their African mask & mixed media unit this. They had a beautiful arts in school night display!

First grade does European countries for our annual art in school night. They had some great work this year, & I am very proud of all their efforts!

Here is a pic of a " kindergarten Kandinsky " wall from our arts in school night. In this lesson we learned about shape, color & painting with watercolor using oil pastel as a resist. Wassily Kandinsky is our inspiration. Love the color results!

Been putting in some weekend hours at work; hanging student work for our upcoming art night. The kids have worked very hard and so far it's looking great!

I'm trying a new project from the author of dynamic art projects for children. We are studying South American culture, so why not go for the classic sun symbol? We are using styrofoam plates, trays, & recycled cafeteria trays to shape the face. Then spray with adhesive and cover with foil, rub (great time to discuss embossing) then add colors with sharpie. The kids are loving it & the results are wonderful!
