Color Theory Trees
After a quick refresher on the color wheel, my 8th grade students whipped out these BEAUTIFUL trees that I had to share!! I am so impressed, they remind me of stained glass art!
Students first drew their tree outline in pencil, and had to use all 12 colors from the color wheel to fill in the negative spaces. The last step was painting their trees black. They were very happy with the results!

Don't let Kindergarten Draw the Pigeon!
I LOVE Mo Willem's books. And so do my Kindergarten students! After reading 2 of his books, "The Pigeon Wants a Puppy" and "The Duckling Gets a Cookie" we learned how to draw this wonderful, silly pigeon.
After drawing him as large as possible with pencil, we used tempera paint to outline the Pigeon.
