Georgetown’s Fourth Grade artists created these beautiful Amazon rainforest birds to wrap up their study of Mexico, Central America, and South America. See more rainforest birds in our on-line Artsonia gallery here!
This project was inspired by Denise M. Logan’s book, “Dynamic Art Projects For Children”.
Fifth Graders began a Crazy Cactus art project this week. The project is a great way to review the art elements; my 5th graders were amazed to find six of the seven art elements as they viewed my sample of the project.
We began by drawing a simple cactus with big black markers and adding patterns, then coloring in the patterns with crayon. Next we rubbed chalk on the background, blending with a tissue for a softer look. Next week we’ll add details with puffy Renkly paint and stick on the cactus spikes – more finished pictures to follow!
This project is adapted from a great book – Dynamic Art Projects For Children.
