Here are a few bulletin boards I have up for the month of January! Since starting my second year, I have been trying to get better at changing them out more often-I am aiming for every month.
Above is a Pointillism Winter Landscape lesson I did with my third graders. We talked about the artist Seurat, and I introduced foreground, midground, and background. We used q-tips to make the "points." For some reason, I felt last year's group was a little more patient with the dots. Some of my kiddos got a little frustrated when their paper wasn't filling up as quickly opposed to just painting with a brush. Might just try painting next year...?
I thought these kindergarten "Wild Things" where just too adorable to not hang up! We talked about texture, and used textured animal print paper - they loved this! They then added a horizon line, wild thing appendages, and a background. Too cute.
This is a new lesson I tried on symmetrical shapes with my 4th graders. I read sections of "Snowflake Bentley" (great book with stunning illustrations on the photographer Wilson Bentley, first to capture a snowflake), and then we talked about what exactly a symmetrical shape is. They started with a base, larger snowflake, and added more and more smaller ones to make it even more symmetrical. Some really got into this and made their own at home!
