Cameryn's Art Gallery

 Description: For this activity we picked out our own animal to draw on a white piece of paper. We drew the animal looking at the picture upside down. When drawing the animal we used a light blue colored pencil. After drawing our animal we used warm colors to cover up the animal. I chose to do yellow diamonds, orange stars, orange-red lines, and red spirals. Once, my animal was hidden, we made a pair of glasses using a red film and construction paper to view our animal through the warm colors. Lastly, we wrote on a notecard giving three hint what our animal may be.  Extension Activity: An extension activity would be to learn about all different kinds of animals. Students could complete a matching activity consisting of pictures of animals while matching each animal to where it would live. (savanna, forest, ocean, grassland etc... )

Description: For this project, we created a Vincent van Gogh scene using tissue paper, construction paper, oil pastels, and mod podge. I used a yellow, red, and orange background to represent a warm climate. For my front scene I chose to do mountains. For the sky I drew lines to show a slight windy breeze and I also drew stars with white oil pastel.  Extension Activity: An extension activity would be to have students solve math facts and then color the picture of The Starry night to help them memorize their math facts. 

 Description: International dot day is a day where students' get to create their own type of dot. Dot day is based on the book  The Dot by Peter Reynolds. In this activity we got to create our own dot using coffee filters, water color paints, oil based crayons, regular crayons, sharpies, and tin foil. We were allowed to create and design our coffee filter however we wanted!  Extension Activity: Students would create their own dot out of recycled materials. Students would then have to write about the one time they had tried something new! I then would hang their artwork up in the room.
