***FEATURED APP**
The video above was made using the free App "Motion Portrait"
It is SO fun, just draw or paint a picture of someone, take a photo, and bring it to LIFE!!

Third graders made these cool trees!

5th graders made a zentangle animal with a gradation value background. They turned out SO beautiful!!

 The kindergarten and 1st graders made colorful hand print fish tanks! They were SO cute!

The company made it very easy by providing labels for each child's art. After labeling we packed them up and sent them off to be printed.

Next we received an order form for every child with a picture of their artwork on the front and inside were pictures of all the fabulous items you can purchase!  

 We have collected all of our order forms at this point and sent them in. We are anxiously awaiting our gifts to come just in time for Christmas!! I cannot wait to make my next post when we get all of our Art To Remember products!! Visit my blog next week to see some happy kids with their purchases!!!

Here's a Holiday Draw-a-long of the Grinch to try!!

Shrimp, BunBun, and Rudy wish you a VERY Merry Christmas!!!

BunBun One Day Watercolor Value Excercise

For this project, students are working on creating value with watercolor. Some students colored with crayon because their class was shorter. We made a monochromatic bunny with tints and shades of brown and gray.

Students were requires to make a scale of value from dark to light on the bunny's face and body.

 We looked at lots of photos of bunnies, colors, shape, and had Bunbun come for a visit.We looked at Bunbuns eyes, ears, and feet.
