Inside: A collection of spring art from my elementary school.
It’s time for another art tour of my school! I love to walk around our halls and snap pics of all the beautiful artwork the kids create.
These stunning tulips were created by one of our Grade 3 or 4 classes. They were made with felt pens and a black sharpie.
These beautiful Canada Geese were made by a Grade 3 class. They spatter painted the background, added photocopied geese and then glued on feathers.
These cute bunnies were drawn and painted by my Grade 1 class.

The chicks and eggs were also drawn by my class. This was a VERY fun art lesson. It was a directed drawing lesson and everyone was super successful.
Directions are HERE (Krokotak)
These lovely little pandas were made by the Grade 1 class next door to me. I love their funny faces, especially the top two with the teeth and little tongue!
These portraits were drawn by an intermediate class. I’m not sure if you can tell from the pics, but the kids were given a photocopy of half a teacher’s face. They coloured that half and then drew the other side.
These faces look so amazingly cool hanging in our hallway. The kids drew self-portraits on paper with dots. I just LOVE how well they turned out!
I have a copy of the dot paper right here.
Directions for Dot Faces:
1. Draw face in pencil
2. Trace lines with a black sharpie
3. Colour the background of each section in the appropriate colours with pencil crayon
4. Colour the dots in each section a darker shade of the same colour.
And these Metis artworks are absolutely gorgeous. They were created with tempera paints and black sharpies.
These lovely rainy paintings were done by my kids with their Friday teacher. I love the bright umbrellas against the soft blue.
And finally, we have these gorgeous sun/moon paintings.
Thanks for stopping by!

Like them all, but especially the tulips! Sara
Thanks, Sara! The tulips are my favourite, too!
Source of the tulip lesson is: http://kidsartists.blogspot.nl/2011/06/in-style-of-romero-britto.html Would be nice to mention it.
Thanks! That's good to know. Since all these paintings were done by the kids in my school, I have no idea where their teachers got their ideas 🙂
I love it when you share your school's art. The dot portraits are pretty amazing!
Thanks, Tammy. I agree about the dot paintings. I haven't seen anything like them before.
The dot portraits are SPCTACULAR!! Any directions? Are they just pale dots that the kids ‘colour in’? I would love to try this with my kids (and have a go myself).
Hi Cassi. Thanks for stopping by. The students were given paper covered in a grid of dots. They drew their self portraits with pencil/sharpie and then lightly coloured each area. Then the dots were coloured in a darker shade of the same colour. I hope that makes sense:)
I’ve since updated the post and included a link to some dot paper as well as the directions!
Hi, I love the Metis art work. Do you have a lesson plan or a link to a lesson for this project? I work with almost all Indigenous/Metis students and I would love to do this project with them.
Thanks
Hi Karen. I’m very sorry but I don’t have a link or lesson plan. I took the picture about 10 years ago and it was an art project another class did.
