Fabulous Fourth Graders~ Onomatopoeia Collage

Pop artist Roy Lichtenstein used onomatopoeia words as art in the 1960's 

Fourth graders here at Eagle View did the same!

They chose a word from a list of over 50 that imitates a sound.

Using various materials they created a Lichtenstein like collage. 

Each one was very unique!

I love how they were able to bring their word to life!

I think Roy would be flattered :)

Spectacular Second Graders~ Sea Turtles & Salt!

 

 Second graders studied sea turtles. From Loggerheads to Leatherbacks, we learned so much!

Turtle shells, heads and flippers were first drawn on white boards to practice.

The designs and patterns they came up with were amazing!

Turtles were then drawn on paper and colored in with oil pastel. The sea was then painted in with watercolor. Before the paint was dry we sprinkled on the salt!

The students compared the outcome of the dried salt with frosted car windows in the morning!

 

There were so many beautiful turtles to display!

 

Krazy Kinders~ Shapes Make Trains!

Kindergartners took shapes they already knew how to draw and created fabulous steam engines!

Love the blended sky and tiny train cars this student drew.

 

We looked at dozens of pictures of various train cars and talked about what they carry.

Whoops! We forgot the wheels!
