We all agreed that oil pastels would do the job. I set up a still life with some fruits and veg, and this is what they made:

Monet's Waterlillies for Kids

Watercolors and lots of imagination and we were making our own version of Waterlillies.

We looked at Katsushika Hosukai's Great Wave print, then using colored pencil, made our own picture of a great wave with some other fun details.

Dutch Flower Paintings: Renaissance Continued!

First, we painted the background in black and blue tempera paint on canvas.

Then we added flowers the following week!

oh, Mona Lisa!

Some portraits, based on the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci!

Folk art animals

Using watercolor and oil pastel, students created their own folk art animals.

We created original works of art as trading cards. Some students traded, but most wanted to keep their tiny creations!
