Alphabet Canvas Art

My after school art class made these adorable alphabet canvases painted with acrylic paints.  I gave them just the primary colors and white and told them to make me happy!  They are adorable!

Striped Alphabet Clay Ornaments

 Kindergarten and 1st graders had some fun Clay Time by creating these candy cane striped Alphabet Ornaments.
Some are darling...and some are imaginative!
We used twine and raffia to thread them so they could hang them on the trees.

Happy Holidays!

Trucks and the ABC Rhyme

I just love my job teaching RAW ART!  Here is a fabulously written and cleverly illustrated book that we used for our art project.  The students created their collages inspired by the illustrations of Megan Halsey.  We used maps as she did in the book for part of our collage.  We learned how to draw trucks.  I took photos of them to place themselves as the driver.  Then I taught them my rhyme where they had to complete it with the first letter of their name.  The power point link I made gives all the details.
