Birthday Cupcakes in Kindergarten!

We used everything we've learned this year to put together these fantastic cupcakes! the bottom of the cupcake was a square.. a GEOMETRIC shape! the top of the cupcake was shaped like a cloud.. an ORGANIC shape! We used straight thick lines for our candles. Guess what three colors each class used? PRIMARY COLORS! Great results, Kindergarten!!

One class used warm colors to complete thier paintings, the other used cool colors. Each 2nd grader used black paper to frame thier piece.

1st Grade Portraits

5th Grade Cubism

5th grade started out the year working on a cubism project. They drew a still life (apples, oranges and bananas) and used oil pastels to add color. Then, they cut the image up and placed the pieces back together in another order. The hard work these 5th grades put into this project really shows!
