5th Grade One Point Perspective Monster Mouth

Well here it is my lastest One Point Perspective project Monster Mouth.  I love it.  My students did a great job getting the perspective down for the mouth. We drew the eye to the vashing point as well for an bonus.  Then came what to color the monster in with.  Well I when with crayons show my students how to get different value from them.  I thought it was going to be a good choice,  I was worng.  So of the student got it, so didnt.  but the bummer of it was they lost all that good perspective in the mouth.  I have only done this project with one 5th grade class so far..  So dont worry I just started round 2 this week.  and we are going to color them a totally different way.   So Please stay tune in... for more...

Ribbon Dragons....

Well I found this on the Family Fun Website so I thought it was cute.. So I gave a try..
I cut the ribbon to about 13"  and then we used tacky glue to glue the pipe cleaner to the bottom of the ribbon.  Then taped it to make sure it really stay there until the glue dried.  After that we just different color contruction paper to make the head and feet.. We have fun eye stickers.. that i gave my students they just love them..

4th Grade Birds on a Wire

Ok now I know that all you have seen this Pixar Short For the Birds Right??? Well if not Just Click For the Birds and which the video.  Well at the time the other art teacher I work with was making this cute folk art bird cages with birds in them.. well I thought about doing them, but the I really want to tackel Joseph Cornell Boxes another one of those artist we dont really talk about much.  But then another art teacher was doing a drawing/printmaking project base off the Pixar Short For the Birds and who doesnt love Pixar.  So I thought it would be cool to making the short into a little sculpture/diorama.  My students had to bring in box from home. We wrapped them in craft paper, and the made everthing in it 3d.  They are turing out so Cool...
