Elementary I Art (1st, 2nd and 3rd Grade)

The students finished their work on coloring the black and white prints and I wanted to introduce the technique of shading to the 1st and 2nd grade classes. While it is unusually early to introduce this technique to students this age, they are a particularly skilled group with great skills in art, so I wanted to see if they could understand the technique. They, as usual, did not disappoint! They enjoyed the technique so much they wanted to spend both classes working on practicing their skills. Several students wanted they practice work displayed, so it is hanging in the second floor at the top of the main stairs. I love seeing their enthusiasm and pride in their work. The 3rd grade students were fully engaged in finishing their statement art for their printed frames and that work was completed this week as well. The pieces are displayed in the 2nd floor hallways.
