Winslow Homer Seascapes

First Grade students looked at artwork by Winslow Homer. They noticed he
often painted boats and the ocean. They decided he must've lived by the ocean. (Which he did). Students learned the term "seascape" and drew their own seascape after looking at different types of boats.



Fish Resist

Kindergarten students used crayons and watercolor paint to create a fish resist. Students learned that crayons have oil in them that resists the watercolor paint so they could paint right over their fish drawing. Students created their own unique fishbowl after looking at different types of fish.

Stained Glass Windows

Fourth Grade students learned about stained glass as an art form and also its purpose in history. They created their own stained glass windows using permanent markers on plastic. They focused on creating a window with radial symmetry, like traditional rose (circle) windows.
