4th grade is starting to think about the Indianapolis Children's Museum's Haunted House Drawing Contest. 2013 is the 50th birthday of the haunted house. This year the theme is "Time Warp: 50 Years of Fear". Students are to draw and color their original idea of a scary picture from any of the decades for the last 50 years. I know it seems early to think about Halloween but entries are due at the museum by September 11th! We are discussing the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, and the 00's and what easily represents each decade. Your input would be appreciated!
First grade learned an art magic trick......press hard with crayon and color over with markers and the marker does not stick to the crayon....wax resist. This works especially well with white crayon and darker markers. (Just like coloring Easter Eggs!)
Second grade is learning about the artist George Rodrigue and his Blue Dog series. We worked on a Blue Dog drawing that we will color in the next class. Blue Dog is especially fun since he goes lots of places and does lots of things in George Rodrigue's paintings.
In our classroom, Blue Dog reminds us to clean our tables and the floor under our area! He is such a good dog!
