First Grade Self- Evaluation

Students began self- evaluations on their projects this grading period. The project is positive/negative space hearts. They water color painted the negative space and cut out paper hearts and decorated with pink oil pastels for the positive space.

Thank you to all of the families that sent photos of their color wheels. I love them! I will be posting them soon!

ColorWheel Printable

I am posting several color wheel printables for different ability levels to accompany the Color Wheel Challenge.

Students can use crayon, marker, color pencil or paints.

I suggest printing on white card stock if painting.

This printable is a companion piece to the color wheel.

Students can color or paint a gray scale (black to white) or a monochromatic scale (color + black to pure color to color + white)

We worked on these concepts last year in our Value unit.

Welcome to Art!

This year in art, your child will be doing all sorts of amazing things! We'll learn about the Elements and Principals of Art while using a variety of mediums. Students will also learn about artists from around the world; as well art history periods, movements and styles. Students will get messy and have fun while creating individual projects based on these areas. Look for these to come home throughout the school year.

I believe that for students to be successful at school, we need to work as a team. Please feel free to contact me at any time with concerns or questions about your child's art education. My hope is that your child will have the absolute best art class experience possible, gain new skills and have fun!
