Turkey Time!

Students learned about warm and cool colors. 

Students chose to color a coffee filter using only the warm or only the cool colors.

After we finished coloring, we sprayed the coffee filter with water and watched what happened when water mixed with marker.  Wow, look at the result!

We then cut and glued the other parts of the turkey.  Here is a warm colored turkey example. 

This is a cool colored turkey example. 

Fall Fun!

4th/5th grade classes are currently working on their fall tree projects.   I love creating fall trees with my students because there are no two trees in real life that look exactly the same and the same goes with the students' artwork.   After observing different types of trees, students spent one class period painting a silhouette of a tree.  The next class we added color to the trees, along with discussing warm and cool colors and how to mix colors using oil pastels.  Look at the beautiful results!
