Pattern Quilt

After a lesson on how pattern is used in art, the 1st graders each made their own pattern quilt. I had the template already made and copied for everyone, they then filled in the squares using patterns in texture and color.

Van Gogh Bouquet

This is one of the most interesting projects when it is complete. We started our bouquets after learning about Van Gogh and texture. We created texture on our bouquets by putting a line of glue over all the lines in our sketch. After it dried, we filled everything in with chalk pastels and then went over the glue lines with a roller of black paint. This is just one of a ton of amazing lessons in my favoite art project book. *to make things a lot easier, test to make sure your glue isn't too watery. If it is, it will dry flat.
