Wednesday...almost there.

Silly Splatter Monsters and Dia de los Muertos Skulls filled my day today. The students worked hard on giving their silly monsters character and personality. I'm at a different school Wednesday-Friday so I get a chance on Monday and Tuesday to test out the lessons and fix any kinks. 

My students flocked to a new student and made him feel right at home in art. 

Tuesday Chaos

So today Kindergarten through 2nd Grade continued working on their Silly Splatter Monsters. Kindergarten had a little difficulty with understanding how to add facial features and cutting them out so they turned out a little messy but they have character. :) 1st Grade understood better and did a really great job adding personality to their monsters. Maybe next year for Kindergarten I will do something a little less complicated or have all the pieces they need ready to cut out. Ideas are welcome! The following pictures are all of 1st and 2nd Grade. 

This is the work of my very creative boyfriend. 

The young artist that created this has a very creative mind and amazing eye for detail. This is her Happy Meal Monster

Abstract Splatter Designs

These were so much fun to make! I had a little time today to play around with some watercolors, a straw, and some paper and I love the results. You can see from the pictures the amazing effect the salt has on the watercolors.

Today I had to improvise with the lessons I had planned because of lack of materials. Luckily, I had straws, white paper, and Dick Blick watercolors. I stole this idea from another website (if you know who please do tell) I cannot remember. It was a lot of fun for the kids and easy. I used blue and green with Kindergarten and red and yellow with 1st. I passed out the paper, had the students write their name on the back and then squirted a few drops of each color combo on their paper and let them have a hay day with the straw. Results are awesome and I can't wait to add facial features next week!
