This year I wanted the art room bulletin board to start off with a cheery, colorful and fun theme to brighten the spirits of our students and community here in Cville. We have been watching a lot of Trolls at our house this summer and I was inspired by the colorful animation and 80's throwbacks!
So I sketched out a design for our first art lessons for the year with a collaborative work of art.
After touring the art room, each grade level was assigned a different part of the bulletin board to complete.
Preschool helped make the borders
Kindergarten drew hearts on colored squares
First grade drew self portraits on colored squares
Second grade drew patterns, designs and words on warm sunny colors
Third grade drew raindrops and added patterns and designs with crayons, then painting on top with watercolors
Fourth grade drew tie dye flowers with oil pastels, then pulled the oil pastels out from the middle to give a starburst/corona look, then they cut them out with fancy scissors
Fifth grade did the activity below as a collaborative work of art to help make the border-I used this Getting to Know Each Other activity that I made up for kids to learn about each other and then follow directions to make art. Notice how each border strip is different! I am definitely doing this activity again!
And here is our final masterpiece! It turned out beautiful and makes me so happy!
