Invention and Imagination Week

Thursday-Georgia O'Keeffe Flowers

Big Van Goghs -Morning Class

Kids learned about how Georgia painted huge flowers and shells as the subject in many of her paintings. 

These are the images we looked at:

First we drew an outline of an "imaginary flower" using pencil. Using any paint color and a "thin brush" we outlined again. Next we filled the flower in in using a "fat" brush.

Dinosaur Invention- Mini Van Goghs-Afternoon class


    After discussing different dinosaurs and how we know so much about them because of fossils, we also realized that there may be undiscovered dinosaurs too! We pretended to be archaeologists discovering a "new" dinosaur!  First we "invented" this new dinosaur using a construction paper collage for the body and painted the background in using "Skinny and Fat" paint brushes. To avoid drips we needed to remember to "dip and wipe" each time.     

Selecting colored construction paper: 

Planning the composition:

Gluing, painting, and finally it's dry ! ( almost! )

We had a great time today, the kids are so creative!! 
One more day to go!!
