Remote Learning Art

It's been a different couple of months for art students at TTE.  I have created 3 videos for our 3 rotations in art while we've been distance learning - the links are below.  Please enjoy the wonderful talents of our TTE Art Students!

Thanks to all of our terrific artists at TTE for sharing their distance learning art!  Have a great summer!

Second Grade Pourings

Second graders created these sweet pendants by using dried flowers, glitter, gold & silver flecks, thick yarn and pouring medium.  Below are some of the results of their creative efforts.

Owls in the Art Room!

Second grade artists created these fantastic mixed media owl collages.  They used colored paper, markers, paint, glue and 3D-ohs. I love how each owl has it's own personality! 

Delicious Doughnuts

Second graders created these delicious doughnuts using tempera paint and fun collage items for sprinkles.  Our goal was to have them ready for Doughnuts with Dad's.


  

Turning Markers to Paint

Did you know that you can turn most markers to paint? Second graders do.  They used water-based Mr. Sketch and Crayola markers to outline the different areas of color.  Then they use paint brushes and clean water to pull the marker pigment into the center of the outlined area.

Cups of Warm Happiness

Second-grade students created these colorful mixed media collage Cups of Warms Happiness.

Students chose to make their cups full of either hot-cocoa, coffee or tea.

TTE Second Grade Mural Artist!

One of our TTE second grade students had the unique and special opportunity to paint a portion on a mural in the Santa Fe Art District in Denver!  While downtown in the art district with her family, Molly (from Mrs. McCluskey's class) and her brother were invited to paint a portion of a Mural by a local Denver artist. This mural can be viewed by driving down town to the Santa Fe Art District. It is located on 7th Street between Santa Fe and Kalamath.

Congratulations Molly! How exciting to get to paint on a mural that will be viewed by hundreds of of art enthusiasts who visit the art district each week!

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!
