In this project, students learned how to create a handle for a cup. Some added multiple handles and some added interesting textural designs to their tea cups!

Students drew onto black paper using glue. Once the glue dried, they colored in the empty spaces with chalk pastels.
Students used straws and finger prints to paint their pumpkin patches. They learned how blowing through a straw onto a wet drop of paint can cause it to go in all different directions! Once the paint was dry, they drew on details with fine point markers.
Students were introduced to wet on wet painting in this project. This is a technique where you apply wet paint on top of previously applied wet paint before it dries. Doing this helps your colors to blend into one another. This was used to create a sunset. Once the sunsets dried, students were introduced to silhouettes, and painted their own ontop of their sunsets.
During this lesson, students were introduced to different kinds of lines and the qualities that they can have. We drew all of the lines and qualities on the board, and then they were quized! I would tell them a type of line, a quality, and a direction for them to draw. For example, I would tell them to draw a thin straight line that is diagonal or a broken zigzag line that is vertical. After they drew lines, we added some extra details and painted them in.
When the students were finished, we noticed how different everyone's work was even though they all followed the same directions! During one of our first kindergarten projects this year, we talked about shapes and colors. Students made sure to choose a variety of shapes with different colors for their collages. They also used glue sticks and learned about overlapping their shapes in their artwork.
3rd grade learned about the proportions of the face as they drew their portraits. Some students drew themselves while others drew interesting characters.
The reception for the finished quilts was wonderful! Commander Scott Altman was there to congratulate all participants and take pictures. Thank you to everyone who showed up at the event to support the Tazewell County Museum and our Primary Art Program!
Below are pictures of the finished quilts designed by our students. The first is from Kindergarten and the second is from Third Grade. Congratulations to all of our students who participated in the Tazewell County Museum's Space Quilt Design Contest! The museum received numerous entries from across the county and chose one design per grade level to make into a quilt. The quilts incorperated gold lame fabric that had traeled into space with the astronaut, Commander Scott Altman. We had two student designs chosen from our K-3rd graders! The quilts are now finished and will be on display at the museum.
Prizes for participating students! Because our school had such a large number of students participate, the museum would like to reward your hard work! Any students that submitted a design can go to the museum to collect a prize for their participation. You can meet an astronaut! The reception for the finished quilts will be held this Friday, September 10th at 7 p.m. During this time students can pick up their prizes and meet Commander Scott Altman in person! Prizes can also be picked up the following morning at the museum or by contacting Mrs. Pitcher after the reception.
