Kindergarten Andy Warhol inspired flowers

The 2013 Elementary Art show will be held May 6 and the theme is "P(OP) Art."

Students in kindergarten learned about the artist, Andy Warhol, and the way he used bright colors to emphasize pop(ular) objects. 
We focused on his flowers:

Students used the primary colors (RED, YELLOW, BLUE) to create their flowers, and added GREEN oil pastel to a black background. 

4th Grade Op Art drawings

When it was time for a project with the theme for this year's Art show (Pop Art-Op Art), I found this amazing idea from Deep Space Sparkle's blog. 
We started with a step-by-step of how to make the drawings:





Next, we talked about ANALAGOUS colors (neighbors on the color wheel) and colored.

5th Grade Tessellations

For years, 5th grade students have designed tessellations for their math curriculum.  This year, they've got a new curriculum for math, and I get to bring tessellations back to my room!

We start out with a 3"x3" square, cut one edge in a random line, then tape it to the opposite side.  We do the same thing to another side, then trace the shape onto a piece of paper and color.
