Tints & Shades in a Landscape

Another project I did with 4-6th grade involving tints and shades. We went over how the front layers have more detail, and how things get smaller and more faded as they are further away. Students picked out one color for their artwork and were seated with other students using those same colors. Students added details with crayon/oil pastel after the painting part. To finish, I had the students write a 6-sentence paragraph describing the scene. These turned out so nicely!

Symmetry: 4-6th Grade

I have been so busy, I've forgotten all about posting on here! This is a project my 4-6th graders did at the beginning of the year. We talked about symmetry and emphasis. This is also a good project for positive/negative space! Students were instructed to use complementary colors unless they had permission from me to do otherwise.
