Welcome to Lines, Dots, and Doodles. This is the place for students, parents, and teachers to find out what has been going on in my art class. I have included pictures of my student's artwork and basic explanations of the projects. I hope when you leave this blog, you feel inspired to create. Feel free to browse this blog and borrow any of my art lessons.
My fifth graders have recently been studying space in science class. To tie my art lesson into this, we created these really cool space paintings. I began by having my students splatter paint stars onto a black piece of paper. After this, I had my students draw a rocket ship, planets, or aliens on white paper. These were then painted with watercolors. Next, everything was cut out and glued to the black paper.
I teach at three schools, but only have an art room in one of them. One of the things I love most about having an art room, is creating bulletin boards. Here are a few bulletin boards that I created at the beginning of the school year.
I have done this lesson almost every year, and my students always love it. I begin by showing my students how to fold a paper mask. After this, they use paper scraps to create, eyes, nose, mouth, and other details.
