Chameleons

As part of our jungle study, 3rd grade created clay chameleons and leaves to match.

We followed the lesson posted by Cassie Stephens to create these lizards. I love how different they all are, so much personality!

Heartworks

Kindergarten texture hearts are always a favorite project! We use oil pastels and texture sheets to create a paper background showing implied texture. Then we used Crayola Model Magic on texture plates to create the hearts. Super simple one-day project, gorgeous results! 

Surprised! Tigers in the Jungle

5th grade viewed the works of Henri Rousseau, especially Surprised! 

We used a wet-on-wet watercolor technique to create a stormy sky. I love the lightning effect these got where the watercolors ran on the page!

After our papers dried, we followed a video from Art for Kids Hub to draw our tiger. Then we cut and collaged with scraps of green papers to create the jungle.
