First Graders Catching Radial Designs

 First Grade students traced their hands for their mittens and printed radial designs for their snowflakes.

Monet

 First Graders learned about Monet and the Impressionists. They created their Monet "like" painting by sponge painting pastels, then painting an everyday event.

First Grade Sunflowers

 First Graders created their still life using finger paint paper for petals, symmetrical vases and chalk pastels.

First Grade Kandinsky

First Grade Eric Carle Fish

 First Graders created painted papers after viewing Eric Carle's website and discussing his illustrations. They printed a school of fish, learned about the parts of fish, and created a fish with the correct parts using a variety of painted papers.
