Fall Forests inspired by Gustav Klimt ... In Progress
First and second grade artists looked at several of Gustav Klimt's forest paintings. We learned that Klimt loved to spend time in the forests around his town. Click here to read more about Klimt's forest paintings and see others.
We used masking tape to create trees in our forests and painted them with warm and cool colors.

Kindergarten Leaf and Nature Collages
We also made leaf rubbings with crayons, then painted over them to experience the watercolor resist technique. We added these leaves to our collages.
On yet another beautiful fall day, the kindergarten class headed outside to collage objects from nature for our moveable nature "collages." We shared our materials to create temporary nature collages, which we photographed on the iPad before dismantling.

Faux Leaves Stained Glass by Grade Three & Four
Third and fourth grade artists looked at several examples of leaf artwork, including Georgia O'Keeffe. We also examined Stained Glass Windows by Louis Comfort Tiffany. Then we went outside to collect fallen leaves to inspire our work. Artists traced their leaves on the paper to create a balanced composition. Then they traced their lines with black glue (glue+black tempera paint). When the glue dried (into a giant black puddle on my art room floor... oops!), they used warm and cool color groups to paint their leaves and backgrounds. We used liquid watercolors.

Apple Art Inspired by Paul Cezanne's Still Life Paintings
We used yoga to calm our bodies as we pretended to be apple trees.
Then we used collage, printing and painting to explore making Apple Art.

Pumpkins!
Today in art we filled a student request to make pumkin faces. Kindergarten artists worked on these Jack O'Lantern collages when they finished their tissue paper butterfly collages inspired by Eric Carle.
