Howell Road’s First Grade Class made beautiful flower pictures using coffee filters, water & color paint, and construction paper.

“Expressive Self-Portraits”
These expressive self-portraits, by James A. Dever  first grade artists, were created by drawing with glue, and then colored in using cray-pas. Warm and cool color combinations were explored. What personality!

Embellished Monoprints

First grade Willow Road students were introduced to the art of printmaking in this lesson.  The monoprint or monotype is often thought of as a halfway stage between painting and printmaking. The process is simple: the artist paints, rubs, or wipes the design directly onto a plate, using a fairly slow drying paint or ink. The fleeting image must be printed before the ink dries. Paper is applied to the image and then pressure is applied to release the image.  Students then embellished their prints with crayons and sharpie markers.

The first grade students at the Wheeler Avenue School painted scarecrows and crows with tempera paint for harvest time.
