Mixed media pyramid sculptures


I received these pieces of cardboard that fold out up into a pyramid.
This project can be done with properly cut poster board or watercolor paper.




In these sculptures, the students used construction paper and oil pastels.



Together as one group, the students and I arranged our
pyramids on the floor.

First grade still life drawings and paintings of fruit and flowers


Still life drawings and paintings



















Group abstract oil pastel drawing



In this project, my goal was to get the students to do multiple drawings then
collaborate on a group art installation.

Start the drawing using simple lines crossing over each other.
This eventually create new geometric shapes that can be filled in
with color.


Each drawing can contain a few shapes with color
repeatedly add more pieces of paper that continue the lines
and colors from the drawing before it.
The distance and amount of drawing are limitless!




When the class has done many drawings,
bring the class together in a group to start putting the group
work together. Have each student continue their drawings from the student's
before theirs.
Walk around it when it's done... sing a song while you walk with the class...
clap out rhythms while you walk
