Peacocks

Aren't these beautiful?! I was really amazed at the variety. We used oil pastels and I showed the students how they could blend the colors together. 




Later they added background details with colored pencil


O'Keeffe Flowers

5th Graders learned about Georgia O'Keeffe and then created their own watercolor flowers. We discussed different watercolor techniques and complimentary colors.





Cave Art

4th grade students imitate cave art using chalk and flashlights. They LOVE this!
