I found this easy little hand art project on theforestroom last week and thought it would be a clean and a simple project to do in my daughter's 3rd grade class... Well, it's not as easy as it looks- they had to really concentrate to complete. This is a really clever way to also document your child's hand size/age. My lines were not the straightest! Simple Instructions: With a pencil, trace your hand & fingers perpendicular (or exactly vertical) to the paper. Start at the top of the paper…

Third grade used warm and cool colors and pattern to create these tempera paintings. The students viewed artwork by native people and how their hand print was not only a record of who they were or where they had traveled, but also a way to sign their art. The students each used their hand prints to sign their paintings. Notice how the warm colors (red, orange, and yellow) advance and the cool colors (blue, green, and violet) recede? This color effect creates an optical illusion. The boys and…

Last week 3rd grade started this fun, colorful Spring work of art! I've been cruising around the internet for new ideas, and came across this one from The ARtcart, and thought that would be a fun way to practice our drawing, painting, cutting, coloring, and composition skills, all in one project! Here's how we created our own! Day 1: Discuss project, show examples of flowers, and demo how to draw different types of flowers. I ask, are these flowers perfect, photographs of flowers? They say…

3rd Grade's Elementary Art curriculum of world cultures allowed me to "travel" with them to Australia to learn about the country and create some Australian Aboriginal Dot Art! This project came from the ever brilliant Mrs. Nguyen over at her blog. I Can statements: I Can tell you something about Australia. I Can create an artwork in the style of Aboriginal Dot Art. As i've mentioned in other 3rd grade "travels" my goal is to give my students the biggest picture of a culture or country as I…

The 3rd grade students learned about the artist Vincent Van Gogh through a video that showed a little girl interviewing Van Gogh. We also read the book, The Man with the Yellow House. We looked at Van Gogh’s artwork and talked about how he expressed his feelings through his art. We discussed how different colors create different moods or feelings in a painting. Van Gogh used an impasto technique, which is short, thick brushstrokes. Students learned that Van Gogh’s favorite color was yellow…
