Fourth Grade House Sculptures

Fourth Graders are hard at work on their house sculptures. Constructing them out of cardboard, we are trying to build a stable structure that will stand on its own, but have a little "character" as well. Students are adding fun details such as windows, doors, chimneys, and will start using small wood pieces (toothpicks, Popsicle sticks) to add texture and variety. We're using a lot of glue for this project; "Dot, dot, not a lot" will not work to keep our house sticking together!

First Grade: Geometric Shapes

First Graders are reviewing the differences between geometric and free form shapes. We looked at several different artworks, including Lois Ehlert's "Circus" collage, so students could identify different geometric shapes in them. Then, we each created a geometric shape collage. Last, we talked about creating prints out of our collage by rubbing crayons across them to pick up the texture of the paper shapes underneath. Here are some first graders working on the rubbing prints of their geometric shape collages.

Kinder Collage

Kinder students are working hard on learning shapes and lines. On this day, students were adding details to their collages. We practiced cutting out shapes and lines and glued them to create a collage. We are also learning how to use our supplies correctly.

Welcome Back Zilker Panthers!

We have lots of fun art projects planned for the 2010 - 2011 school year!
