How adorable are these little guys?!? </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I experimented with a new bunny portrait lesson this year. These bunnies were created by my little Grade 1 and 2 artists.</div>

I love chalk pastels. They are one of my favourite mediums to work with. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But be forwarned as they are VERY messy. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We did this lesson over 3 days as I spent the first day letting them explore the pastels on large sheets of newsprint and then practising how to make our bunny shapes. We also practised not putting our free hand onto the markings we made on our papers...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The students started with a neck, then made 2 touching circles (like a sideways 8). They traced over their circles repeatedly, trying to make them both the same size. Its okay if they aren't right on the first go as you can always add to the shapes and rub away some of the mistakes. Once the circles were pretty equal they continued tracing their circles a few more times.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next they added a "hill" on the 8. Again tracing until they were happy it was fairly centred on the sideways 8.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next they added the ears. I had said that they kind of make an M shape, and as you can see some of them took that very literally!! </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzEuCXC3GurvMx2Hjs7-y9ZZP9Zv9OCd9OSCo1m9zOHbLZYGD7dknMq4_7dZmeCGEl5cHt3G7uQuEhsz0h74f5vASlNAKJ6XcGfLCzn62N36IAyvARYLmXUevWC_HsCZZJxm33gNgQpEo/s1600/bun6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzEuCXC3GurvMx2Hjs7-y9ZZP9Zv9OCd9OSCo1m9zOHbLZYGD7dknMq4_7dZmeCGEl5cHt3G7uQuEhsz0h74f5vASlNAKJ6XcGfLCzn62N36IAyvARYLmXUevWC_HsCZZJxm33gNgQpEo/s1600/bun6.jpg" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Once they were happy with their bunny form they were asked to use ONE finger to blend the chalk as if they were re-drawing the bunny - going in circle motions around the 8, back and forth on the hill, and the ears they were free to colour in the the chalk. They were to try to drag the chalk into the shapes to fill them as they were tracing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For the next part we switched to oil pastels. They made a small upside down triangle in the 'dip' of the top of the sideways 8 and drew a line and upside down Y for the rest of the muzzle. Eyes were added to the sides of the head and inner ears were coloured.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got them to paint the backgrounds in liquid water colors to wash away any fingerprints around the bunny heads.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOGzNuRTb42o2Ck26UxdGE-iOWXQIoO2E1lgzAf-RTy3oimmnwxlkFPlqPxbJ39VkzZD56RdYEAaP_rVw_FWFtAWZdg8doTTh-jeiG5DiAD4ALHsHCzWW5iUd6c4OdCOHnBGMuMt8WLXY/s1600/bun9.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjOGzNuRTb42o2Ck26UxdGE-iOWXQIoO2E1lgzAf-RTy3oimmnwxlkFPlqPxbJ39VkzZD56RdYEAaP_rVw_FWFtAWZdg8doTTh-jeiG5DiAD4ALHsHCzWW5iUd6c4OdCOHnBGMuMt8WLXY/s1600/bun9.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The final touch was to add whiskers with a black sharpie.</div>

Here is an easy paper activity to do with your classes. I got this idea from <a href="http://new-twinspace.etwinning.net/c/portal/layout?p_l_id=18903351&p_p_id=33&p_p_lifecycle=0&p_p_state=normal&p_p_mode=view&_33_struts_action=/blogs/view_entry&_33_urlTitle=prepletane-stromceky#_33_messageScroll21492666" target="_blank">HERE</a>. This activity could easily be done with the trees all in white and tissue in different cool colours for a fabulous winter window display - maybe next year for me! </div>

Students first cut out the tree template from 9 X 12 inch green card stock. Then they glued pre-cut coloured strips of construction paper to one side of the tree. They trimmed off any parts that showed past the tree on the outside. They then added dots of white glue all around the template and strips and laid down a piece of green tissue paper. When dry, they carefully trimmed off the excess tissue.</div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I used <a href="http://www.artteacherinla.com/?p=1012" target="_blank">this</a> lesson idea by <a href="http://www.artteacherinla.com/" target="_blank">Art Teacher in LA</a>.<span id="goog_1749120156"></span><span id="goog_1749120157"></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/"></a></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">First we used a directed drawing lesson for the house. I used the steps found <a href="http://wonderstrange.com/drawing-halloween/">here</a> for our houses, with a few modifications. We discussed window shapes and students were free to include as many windows as they wanted. I encouraged them to make big shapes. Students then drew a spooky tree and a moon. I allowed them to also add tombstones or bats if they wished.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">We then used our yellow oil pastels to colour in the moon and the windows and doors. Black oil pastels were used everywhere else.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Students then painted blue and purple liquid watercolors for the backgrounds. </span></div>

I am so impressed with the sponge print flowers this Kindergarten/Grade 1 class created. We used the same technique as we did for our <a href="http://artventurous.blogspot.ca/2013/05/sunflowers.html">SUNFLOWERS</a> and <a href="http://artventurous.blogspot.ca/2012/12/poinsettias.html">POINSETTIAS</a>. </div>

This is a project I've been wanting to try with my students for awhile. Unfortunately we are already on our 2 week spring break and won't get back until after Easter. I barely managed to squeeze in St. Patrick's day activities. So I did this project at home with my daughter. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzUC9MWlYOOSRNnZzz0ri1Q8poGXcVgAedOlN6fM4fxbTifgDpVwdPbXfTV3pfb-ncTmzZR0sR2tZWPMYUBBbThNs4u2c8tza4P5MNmKIy77LMh711wJ0PgwTrOoiDh6XxDHhV8vhpPzQ/s1600/bun+6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzUC9MWlYOOSRNnZzz0ri1Q8poGXcVgAedOlN6fM4fxbTifgDpVwdPbXfTV3pfb-ncTmzZR0sR2tZWPMYUBBbThNs4u2c8tza4P5MNmKIy77LMh711wJ0PgwTrOoiDh6XxDHhV8vhpPzQ/s400/bun+6.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
This bunny head was made using plastic Easter eggs and salt dough. We used the top (pointy) part. I first covered the egg with a bit of saran wrap as my eggs had little holes and I wanted to make sure that the eggs slipped out easily afterward.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
First we made a nice flat pancake.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYwegducx2N7u6Uvm6XiIfDlBRykFj0aAfiNg_2Z1XPTlOU3cw9QtvsEm7Omxx3hEtLILUpJMELvBA6_9HTj2UhlEAd2wX8pcvmjhtIoslGdyQUlZUrbh_viB4QLHZoSSTKcTUfwxXexI/s1600/bun.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYwegducx2N7u6Uvm6XiIfDlBRykFj0aAfiNg_2Z1XPTlOU3cw9QtvsEm7Omxx3hEtLILUpJMELvBA6_9HTj2UhlEAd2wX8pcvmjhtIoslGdyQUlZUrbh_viB4QLHZoSSTKcTUfwxXexI/s320/bun.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next we draped the pancake over the egg and used our fingers to help it take the shape of the egg. We used a plastic knife to cut away the excess on the bottom.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirkAcn4Iaoa32mhW1pg7n979X2OGgg-6rs2xikmt_jH7CA4tv1YLc5ktOVNT9eGmqY3zpXWF2bzMJOfR-ug-X4T2sEwJxalD3PwNHcOXvtGAmSY0YCrlp8VMAxWasf0vOSiBf48BoLTOE/s1600/bun+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirkAcn4Iaoa32mhW1pg7n979X2OGgg-6rs2xikmt_jH7CA4tv1YLc5ktOVNT9eGmqY3zpXWF2bzMJOfR-ug-X4T2sEwJxalD3PwNHcOXvtGAmSY0YCrlp8VMAxWasf0vOSiBf48BoLTOE/s320/bun+2.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then we added facial features. We created little balls of clay that we pressed firmly onto the face using a little water to act as our glue.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUsViLy_ZDqUmOZmfkT1SPHIdcSnl4jxjsX0JcFxn6_isqqu_n7veNlQpkhqd5-madfVs8afXAapWsDLXo4y-OjQZJA8aetdMpcEBho-kxUA8kDstQNYgPqcfT1ZAjog7GLRDYUkB40Ro/s1600/bun+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUsViLy_ZDqUmOZmfkT1SPHIdcSnl4jxjsX0JcFxn6_isqqu_n7veNlQpkhqd5-madfVs8afXAapWsDLXo4y-OjQZJA8aetdMpcEBho-kxUA8kDstQNYgPqcfT1ZAjog7GLRDYUkB40Ro/s320/bun+3.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then we formed and pressed on ears. I purposely tried to attach them together as I thought it would be more solid that way. We also used the end of a paintbrush to poke eyes, but adding big googly eyes after would also be super cute!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj90PtLpr_7lIPPPLV9JQKqnErTxFHlWInM6Pb03oj2cXIrCz2Xls6ko20e2T8_y0DfQZb4xUJK5rxG4WILchOvWYqt5xI-rixdCSE_-rbEzNQAKVfDrkcq1HBfHRrkDG2BdK1FpOybucY/s1600/bun+4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj90PtLpr_7lIPPPLV9JQKqnErTxFHlWInM6Pb03oj2cXIrCz2Xls6ko20e2T8_y0DfQZb4xUJK5rxG4WILchOvWYqt5xI-rixdCSE_-rbEzNQAKVfDrkcq1HBfHRrkDG2BdK1FpOybucY/s320/bun+4.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We let this dry for a few days until the outside was pretty firm. The inside was still pretty damp. Then we removed the plastic egg and saran wrap and I placed it in the oven. I just put it in after cooking dinner one night and let it dry as the oven cooled.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Finally we painted the bunny using acrylic paints and a black sharpie filled in the eyes.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

These were all done by Kindergarten and Grade One students. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The children dipped precut pieces of thick cardboard into a dish of black paint and used the cardboard to print lines on their white paper. They were encouraged to make vertical and horizontal lines that would form rectangular shapes on their papers. Watch out for those kids who are so fascinated by the printmaking that they don't know when to stop! :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
When the paint had dried they were to look for enclosed shapes and colour them in using oil pastels in the primary colours. </div>

Some were so interesting even without the pastel. I wish I had taken a few photos of those. Either way I think they are frame-worthy!</div>

This was a fun art project my Grade 1 class did with their Grade 7 buddies. The idea for this project came photos uploaded on Pinterest, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This project was completed over a couple of days.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Day 1:</b> We divided and painted a white sheet of paper various shades of blue that the students mixed themselves.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Day 2 and 3:</b> After gluing on a circle for the moon, we cut strips of white paper into smaller pieces and worked our way around the moon. We then glued and worked our way out from the moon creating the mosaic - going from lighter to darker. We cut and glued one shade of blue at a time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Day 4:</b> Our big buddies drew an interesting tree shape for the Grade Ones to cut out and glued them, along with the ground, onto the mosaics.</div>

I had to share these incredibly easy fall trees that my Grade One class made!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Students used eyedroppers to drip liquid water color paints onto coffee filters. Don't be stingy with the paint as they will be brighter. You could also use washable markers to colour the filters and then spray with water. But again, make sure they fill the filter with lots of colour!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When dry, they cut out this fabulous tree template. The template for the tree is from a book that does not allow me to share it here due to copyright limitations. However, you could easily use something a lot less complicated as it was a challenge for a few of them. However, you could hear a pin drop during cutting time due to the extreme need for concentration!!<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.firstpalette.com/tool_box/printables/tree.html">Here</a> is a free online template you could use for the tree.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
These look so great in my window and it makes me smile every time I walk</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
into my room and see them!</div>

My Grade One class created these beautiful cityscape collages of Vancouver, BC. We were inspired by a local artist named <a href="http://nicholasbrancati.com/nicholasbrancati.html">Nicholas Brancati</a>. He is an illustrator who creates mixed-media collage illustrations and
art using bits and pieces of fabric, paper, packaging, magazine, newspaper,
cardboard and various other materials. You cans find more of his amazing work on his <a href="https://www.etsy.com/ca/shop/NicholasBrancati?ref=hdr_shop_menu">Etsy Shop page</a>.<br />
<br />
I used one of the prints I purchased from him at the Vancouver Make It Market last year for our inspiration. My students all immediately recognized our famous Vancouver landmark, Science World, and were eager to create their own versions. Unfortunately I no longer see this particular print on his website. But here are a few close-ups of what we were able to create.:<br />

Our evening art contains buildings created in cool colored construction paper. However, this would be just as effective in bright primary and secondary colors as well. <br />

After reading the book we decided to use the same painted papers we had left over from our <a href="http://artventurous.blogspot.ca/2015/02/winter-birds.html">Winter Birds</a> buddy activity. Once again we got together with our Big Buddies for a little extra help.<br />

Using petal tracers that they had made for us, we cut out approximately
10 petals and arranged them in a circle around a yellow tissue paper
circle. Green tissue was used to create a stem and leaves. We then
used whatever scraps of painted paper and tissue we had to create an
insect.<br />

I found this adorable colour wheel idea on Artsonia.com. After reading the book Mouse Paint by Ellen Stoll Walsh we created our own versions. We folded a sheet of paper into 6 squares - they do not have to be perfect squares! We then painted each primary colour onto a square and then use our primary colours to mix our secondary colours and painted those on the remaining 3 squares.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The next day we used tracers on the back side of the painted papers to draw out our 6 mouse shapes. We then glued them in a circle to replicate a colour wheel - all primary colours lie opposite their complimentary secondary colour.</div>

Our version was done a bit differently. We drew lines on heart templates with pencils and rulers and then painted in our shapes. When the paint was dry we cut out our hearts and glued them onto black construction paper. We then glued down black strips of paper to cover our pencil lines and then cut our the hearts again leaving a black border. </div>

I HEART CRAFTY THINGS provides two versions for templates to create the birds. One has the birds in one piece (other than the beak) and the other has them in multiple pieces. We used the multiple pieces version here. Putting all the bird pieces together would have been way too difficult for my little ones with the help of their Big Buddies. If you try this with a younger class I would highly recommend using the simpler template. </div>

This was actually a 2 day project. We spent the first session mixing and painting paper 3 tints of green by adding white to our green paint. On day two we cut out large triangles and used chalk to make different patterns on each tree. White construction paper was used for the snow and chalk was also used to make snowflakes. </div>

How much do little kids love the Pigeon?! My grade one class cheers when I pull out one of Mo Willems' Pigeon books. I was inspired by<span style="color: red;"><b> <a href="http://artdishwithmj.blogspot.ca/2011/05/dont-let-pigeon.html">this</a></b></span> Art Dish with MJ activity and used it during our safety unit.<br />
<br />
We did a directed draw of the Pigeon. Black oil pastel was used to trace over our pencil lines and yellow was used to colour in the beaks. Then we painted our pigeons. When dry we did a few touch ups where the paint may have blurred out some of our drawing. Then students had to cut out their pigeon "in a bubble". I do that occasionally due to the lack of cutting skills of many 5 and 6 year olds. This way I can ensure that we won't lose half the pigeon in the process of cutting him out!<br />

After brainstorming safety rules, each student chose one rule to print in a speech bubble. Some examples were:<br />
"Don't let the Pigeon talk to strangers."<br />
"Don't let the Pigeon play with fire."<br />
"Don't let the Pigeon stand on the chair" <br />
<br />

My life seems to have been caught in a bit of a whirlwind the last couple of months and I feel like I have so much on my plate. But I promise to be better!!! It only took a fellow co-worker to post a Halloween activity I did on her blog before I put it on mine to get me in gear! Thanks Sandra! Go ahead and check out her <a href="http://savvyteachingtips.blogspot.ca/">Savvy Teaching Tips </a>blog for some amazing teacher units.<br />

I got this pumpkin art lesson from <a href="http://kids.baristanet.com/2012/11/ask-holly-drawing-pumpkins-101/">Barista Kids</a>. You can get a detailed lesson plan if you click on the link. I substituted the oil pastels for chalk pastels. I love using chalk pastels as they are so forgiving. I can get the kids to start their first shape and tell them, "make it bigger" without negatively affecting their piece of work. We did however use orange and green oil pastel to outline our drawings and add swirly vines.</div>

Here is a really cute and easy craft I did on Halloween day. Our primary wing usually does Halloween stations where classes will rotate through each of the four in our wing. We only have about 20 minutes for each station so I can't plan anything too detailed. This is what I came up with:<br />
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnm0QSXQAmRKD2ees8nnbV_T9CaD1vPHrROVtiBQasw27TZCkU7QZd33qvShFIUwIF2q5GPhQhnkeYc1wnsKMx4EAVZY0wrMFoEnskHz5z5rAlL1CViOcIxI5gkgNLXlzZ5gjIr9fABII/s1600/Frank.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnm0QSXQAmRKD2ees8nnbV_T9CaD1vPHrROVtiBQasw27TZCkU7QZd33qvShFIUwIF2q5GPhQhnkeYc1wnsKMx4EAVZY0wrMFoEnskHz5z5rAlL1CViOcIxI5gkgNLXlzZ5gjIr9fABII/s1600/Frank.jpg" height="320" width="244" /></a></td></tr>

These Frankenstein faces were done on a 4 1/2 X 6 inch piece of green construction paper. We did a directed draw in pencil, starting with the hair, straight line across for the eyebrows, nose, then eyes and mouth. They used white chalk to colour in the eyes then used black oil pastel to trace over their drawing and colour in their hair. The final step was gluing one inch squares of grey construction paper to the back of the head. These were easily done in the 20 minute time slot and I think there was only one student who did not completely finish! I wish I had more to show you as they turned out amazingly well, but the students got to take them once they left my classroom.<br />

I got this adorable activity idea from <a href="http://www.kcedventures.com/blog/kids-crafts-halloween-garland-mummies">Edventures With Kids,</a>
where you can get the full instructions. The only things I changed was
we used a gingerbread man template and didn't make it into a garland.
We also cut our paper eyes instead of googlies.</div>

Here is a very simple autumn art activity focusing on magnification and line. After viewing a variety of leaves with magnifying glasses we created these close-up interpretations. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Students drew a line down the middle of their page with an oil pastel. They were then instructed to draw 3 or 4 more lines extending from the center line to the edges of their paper. Then they coloured over their lines with their pastel to create a thick layer on their drawing. They had the option to add other thinner lines/veins. We finished by painting them with block tempera paints in fall leaf colours.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
I LOVE the way they turned out! </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I am so disappointed! </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
We made these wonderful clay daffodils with another class for spring. They were supposed to go into our school display case for April and then we were going to wrap them with a tea light candle inside for a Mother's Day gift. </div>

However, something is terribly wrong with our school's kiln. During the first firing the kiln made so much noise that the Grade 7 class, where the kiln is located, had to relocate to another room!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So now we have to wait for our next in-school professional day to do the second firing, so as not to disturb the class again. Luckily it is at the end of this month. So, although they won't get the chance to be displayed, they'll at least be ready to go for Mother's Day.</div>

Can you figure out what we used to help shape them? We used a snowflake cookie cutter for the bottom and a small pinch pot for the top.</div>

They are glazed and ready to go. Stay tuned for the finished product!</div>

Here is a cute and simple little art activity my Grade 1/2 class did for Easter. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
We did a directed drawing of these whimsical bunny rabbits on paper trimmed to 7 X 12. Then we used oil pastels for colour and outlining. The final step was to paint around the rabbits with water color paints.</div>
<br />

<br />
Here is the step by step, similar to my <a href="http://artventurous.blogspot.ca/2012/12/reindeer-portraits.html">Reindeer Portraits step by step</a>:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Students put their non-drawing hand at the bottom of the paper and draw around their hand (not tracing their hand) to make the head shape. They put a dot in each of the top corners. This will help them make their ears nice and long.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFsW4_aMxd4Gg7KzcvUPqc1nr7dRkn0n02XDzGDxmslMUg3aQFmuiFuDLb_tAga-BZDy1eDnPHWHNIuqoIYFTci0ILOv52Ais90vSgGG-xm5u0A9fI2I-EJTTq4SY1qv1iIMJ5hNIPcos/s1600/bun+(2).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFsW4_aMxd4Gg7KzcvUPqc1nr7dRkn0n02XDzGDxmslMUg3aQFmuiFuDLb_tAga-BZDy1eDnPHWHNIuqoIYFTci0ILOv52Ais90vSgGG-xm5u0A9fI2I-EJTTq4SY1qv1iIMJ5hNIPcos/s1600/bun+(2).JPG" height="200" width="153" /></a></div>
Using the dots as guides, student connect the dot to the top of the head making the ears. Next they draw a dot in the center of the face.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUCLrOpHWURu_qn_sWVmHLyKySyg3EwkMdig-Z61vEOM1Xd0nbBZs6F_pdTvSuFqGG98vK_N7Kdm2njok_fV8FzAl-onLZGyXechPb9PyaiBgr5j4koAniI0REAK-N8MA9hFtqtGq9YbQ/s1600/bunny2+(2).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhUCLrOpHWURu_qn_sWVmHLyKySyg3EwkMdig-Z61vEOM1Xd0nbBZs6F_pdTvSuFqGG98vK_N7Kdm2njok_fV8FzAl-onLZGyXechPb9PyaiBgr5j4koAniI0REAK-N8MA9hFtqtGq9YbQ/s1600/bunny2+(2).JPG" height="200" width="150" /></a></div>
From that dot they will make 2 circular shapes beneath it. Encourage big shapes. They do not need to be even or symmetrical. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The final step is to add a little bump for the nose, 2 teeth, whiskers that extend outside of the head and the inner ears.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

Here are a few more examples from my students:<br />

This is a new version of a project I have done before. Previously I did the entire project with modelling clay, including the background. This project was done with Crayola Model Magic and water color. </div>

We first made our penguins with the Model Magic and left them to dry. We started by making a flat oval with black and adding white ovals and circles for the tummy and eyes. Orange was used for the beak and feet. I have to say I am now a fan of this product! It is soft and light and easy to work with. The pieces stick really easily. When dry, the piece is very light. These could have easily been made into magnets!<br />

We then created the background on 4 X 6 inch paper using white oil pastel for the snow/ice and watercolor paint for the sky. We also sprinkled a bit of salt on the wet paint for a frosty effect. Finally, we glued the dried penguins to their backgrounds. <br />

I had all the kids bring in cardboard boxes from crackers, instant oatmeal, Kleenex, etc. We cut off all the loose cardboard at one end to make the opening. The toughest part was wrapping the black craft paper around the boxes. My aide and I helped the kids with that part but the rest of it was up to them. They had lots of different heart tracers to create the tummies, beaks and feet and even the flippers which were a heart cut in half. Some of the kids were so into them that every free moment they were creating all sorts of accessories: hats, sunglasses, bracelets... Some even wanted to play with them at center time! <br />
