Mr. Kreutinger's Holiday Special!!!

The students wanted to know what Lily is doing for the holiday. So we gave her a call.

We also had a surprise visitor!

2nd Grade: The Grinch Who Stole Christmas!

The 2nd grade classes studied "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas!"

They learned that there is more to the holidays

 than presents and gifts.

Here is what the art they created based on the story! 

 Finished! 

2nd Grade: Winter Landscapes

Check out these beautiful winter landscapes the 2nd grade classes made!

First they created a horizon by cutting a curvy line on white piece of paper and then gluing down.

 

Next the students cut triangles from different shades of green to represent trees.

 

Here are the finished Winter Landscapes!

4th grade: Grinch Portraits!!!

Kindergarten: The Grinch

For the last Kindergarten art class before the break we made the Grinch!

First Mr. Kreutinger passed out these two shaped that he had pre-cut.

Then we added some details.

All finished!

4th grade Finches!

The 4th grade was inspired by this beautiful photo to make art!

So Mr. Kreutinger decided to dig out the best drawing paper for this winter lesson.

We started off with a directive drawing lesson of the finch and the branch.

 Then the student completed the pieces by using a mix of colored pencils, oil pastels, and crayons.

They turned out AWESOME!

 

1st grade Winter Wax Resist!!!

The first grade just made some awesome winter inspired art! They did drawings of a snowy landscape and a snowman with a wax resist!

Here's how they did it.
 

First they drew three circles to represent the snowman.

 

Then they created trees and mountains for the horizon.

 Next they colored in the trees and used a blue crayon to add some shading and value to the snowman. They also used a white crayon to draw snowflakes in the sky that you cannot see... yet!

Last they used a watercolor paint in the sky and mountains. But the white crayon created a wax resist. It was like magic the snowflakes started appearing all over they page!

Here are the finished pieces!
