Coco Foil Relief Suns

 3rd Grade - Foil Relief Coco Suns

3rd Grade has been busy making these adorable Foil Relief Coco Suns.

We started this lesson with introducing Mexico Folk Art. We looked at Metepec Suns and Coco Suns. We talked about how they are originally made with Terracotta clay. We discussed Metepec Mexico and Aztec Culture.

Students then used foam, foil, poster, and sharpies to create these wonderful colorful Coco Foil Relief Suns. 

1st Grade Rousseau Animals

 1st Grade Rousseau Animals

1st Grade is learning about the life and art of  Henri Rousseau. 

Students created these delightful animal collages using mix media oil pastel, tempera cakes, and variety of colored paper. 

Students are learning to draw big compositions.

They are also learning how to create organic shapes found in nature.

Once their animal was drawn and colored/ painted, students overlapped organic shapes around their 

animal as if it was peeking out of it's habitat.

They did a fantastic job!

Too sweet!
