FAMOUS ART RECREATIONS-Student Artwork

The students clearly enjoyed this assignment and I have to say it was super fun opening my email everyday to see the student's take on well-known works of art.  I'm not sure I would get the same results in a non-remote learning art class.  It sure was a homerun during quarantine.  These recreations are by 7th and 8th graders.

If I didn't put someone's up that wants theirs up, let me know and I will add it!

MY HAND- Student Artwork

These turned out so AMAZING!  I love that each one is so different.  This will definitely be a project we start doing every year in 5th grade.  The following are by 5th and 6th graders.  Enjoy...

MY HAND-a time capsule of what is important to me now

The current 5th and 6th grade art assignment is to create an artwork with words and pictures of things that are important to them in their lives right now.   I will include the directions and then post some awesome examples I have received so far.

First-trace your hand.  Have someone else help if you need it.

Next-fill it with words and pictures of things that are important to you right now.  If all you have at home to make art is a pencil or pen, then do some shading and complete the background.  Or you could cut it out and find something fun to put your hand on to take a picture to finish it up.














If you have crayons, colored pencils or paint, add some color to your hand! I used markers, colored pencils, and a little bit of white-out pen.  I decided to draw my background in for this one.  I tried to draw the wood floor in my house.

I left one black and white to show what that looks like too.











Here are some finished student examples:
Love this grassy background which further enforces this student's love of the outdoors!

I get excited everytime I open my email in-box and see that there are more of these to look at.  The students are blowing me away with their creativity!  Keep them coming!!!

Draw a Portrait

One of the options from the 14 Days of Art Activities was to draw a portrait of a pet or stuffed animal.  Some students wanted to draw a person!
