Wooden Cubist Face Sculptures - Goofy & Fun!

Once my second graders finished their Spain-inspired artworks, I had all of them work on these Picasso-inspired cubist faces made with wood pieces and tempera paint.  

Lambies "Plant" Mini-Gardens

Spring is in high gear this week at the Lambies, so I decided to provide the materials for them to plant their own personal mini-gardens!

Super-Sensory Model Magic Secondary Color Mixing

Providing my 2nd and 3rd grade students the opportunity to learn about how to make secondary colors out of the three primaries using hands on mixing and mashing of "clay" was a blast. I've never seen so many smiles and excitement!

Nature Sculptures - So Fabulous!

So after we did the Halloween sculptures, I thought it would be fun for them to create more sculpture, but this time using natural materials. My son and I went for a walk around our block and collected lots of sticks, leaves and rocks, and I supplemented these with another trip to the dollar store (my favorite!) for some more rocks and shells.

Halloween Sculptures

In October I did a really fun manipulative process art project with the "lambies" (that's our name for the little one's who attend this preschool - so sweet!). I went to the dollar store and bought styrofoam discs (2 for $1!). Then to Michaels for pipe cleaners, beads, and paint in halloween colors with a few other colors thrown in for variety. The lambies had a blast making these!
