4th Grade Starry Night Group Work

The 4th grade class worked together in groups on for their final project of the year. Inspired by a Van Gogh poster in the classroom students recreated the Starry Night in groups of 4. Together each member of their group drew one section of The Starry Night. Using teamwork students also discussed the processes of adding paint and oil pastel to each of their sections for uniformity.

2nd Grade Oil Pastel Study

Second graders were introduced to oil pastels in a recent art class. They loved how the pastels had bright, vivid colors and were like a soft crayon! In this lesson students learned about different oil pastel techniques such as blending. We also studied colorful and bright art by Wassily Kandinsky.

Inspired by Wassily Kandinsky's famous circle art, each student created their own oil pastel circle on a 6"x 6" square. The squares were hung in a grid pattern in the hallway!

Here is their finished product:

Awesome job, 2nd grade!
