The students learned about the artist Jasper Johns. They then created an art work in his style. They used stencils to trace their birthday onto their paper. They then colored each number with either cool or warm colored crayons. They used watercolors to paint the background. If their number was colored in warm colors their background had to be cool colors.

The 2nd grade students traced a variety of different sized circles. They then used oil pastels to color the circles to be their planets. They used either cool or warm colors for each planet and blended their oil pastels. They then used shiny paper and cut jagged lines into it, which acted as the planet they were standing on. Chalk was used to add stars onto the background. Each student's picture was glued to the background along with their space helmet.
The 2nd grade students and I read the book Giraffes Can't Dance together. They really focused on how the illustrator showed movement in his drawings of the giraffe dancing. We then learned about tints (mixing a color with white). First, they painted a white moon on their paper. We then added a little blue and painted a circle with that tint around the moon. We repeated the process adding more blue and painting another circle around the previous one creating concentric circles. Using green paint the students painted the grass. The end results were beautiful moon lit skies. Next, the students drew and colored their giraffes dancing showing movement. The giraffes were cut out and glued onto the backgrounds.
The 2nd grade students learned how to draw faces to proportion. They then drew portraits of their family using the techniques they learned to draw their families. They painted their family portraits using watercolors.
The students learned about Vincent van Gogh and his painting Starry Night. The students showed movement in their drawings by using swirling lines. To create a sense of space in their art they overlapped their pumpkins. They also drew their pumpkins with curved lines so the pumpkins looked round instead of flat.
The 2nd grade students learned about Henri Matisse and his technique of Painting with Scissors. The students created their own version of Matisse's Goldfish. Watercolor with saran wrap was used to create the "water" in the goldfish bowl. The students then used different square and rectangle pieces of paper for their background. They finished off their work by "painting with scissors". They cut organic shapes of different color paper and added it to their art.
