WANTED

Third Grade Artists

Wanted For Working Hard in Art Class

Approach With Art Supplies

Last Scene In The TTE Art Room

Reward: Original Artistic Creations

Third graders created "Wanted" posters, with a twist.  They had to be wanted for doing something good.  Students had to brainstorm what they thought was something particularly special about them. It could be a skill, a personality trait, a special talent...etc...   They they created a poster, which was aged by crumpling and dying the paper.  The result are the these fantastically old looking Wanted Posters.

First Grade Grinches

Before Winter Break Ms. Neslson's class drew happy and grumpy Grinches in Art Class.  I meant to post this over break, but time got away from me...but I still wanted to share it with everyone, so it is going up now.  I think you will agree that these are very good renderings of the Grinch. It's hard to believe that they are drawn by first graders!
Below is a picture of some Grinchy students. 

Below are more Grinchy portraits created by Ms. Nelson's fantastic first grade students. 

Nutcrackers

Nutcrackers are a really fun and festive way to learn about how basic shapes can be combined to create a very recognizable subject.  I LOVE Nutcrackers and have quite a collection of German and Bavarian Nutcrackers from growing up in the Netherlands as a little girl.  They are not only a holiday decoration at my house, I leave them up all year!

Ask just about any intermediate grade level student what their favorite second grade project was and you will most likely hear about the Nutcracker project.  This year they are being displayed in the entry of TTE Town Square! Below are some festive pictures of our fantastic Nutcrackers!

Elf Fashion

I meant to post this earlier, but because of winter break I have not been on here.  I wanted to share some fun elf-fashion designs by creative TTE students.
