Some Changes in the Art room and the First Weeks of Art Lessons

    Here it is after 2 weeks I've got my art teacher grove on!! It was a slow start with only teaching one class a day. Not too challenging, but I was able to get some other things done as you will see at the bottom of this post.

I'm back into my routine and enjoying my classes so far. Both grades have completed their Self Portraits and the second project of the school year is underway....... 

    After Reading Mouse Paint by                       Each grade did a lesson involving Primary and Secondary Colors. Kindergarten mixed using watercolors. This isn't as simple as you may think because of their short attention span and the clean up which is an entire lesson in it self. 

My example of Watercolor Mix.

First Grade started Color Wheels using Tempera Paints. Week #1 they painted in the Primary Colors and Week #2 they
used the Primary Colors to mix in the Secondary Colors and added in a mouse they draw themselves.  Pictures to Follow.
