2nd Grade students are creating Winter Landscapes. Students learned about the different parts of a landscape; horizon line, foreground, middle ground, and background. Students start by drawing a horizon line across their large sheet of white drawing paper. Next the students use Acrylic Gloss Medium to attach pieces of cool or warm colored tissue paper. The next step requires drawing birch trees on a piece of scrap drawing paper. Students use black watercolor paint to create the bark details. The trees are then glued in the middle ground and foreground. Using more water a bit of black paint, the shadows are added to the trees and ground. The students learn about using a light source in order to place their shadows in the correct position.

Second grade students created an owl using air dry clay. They started by learning how to make a pinch pot. Next they used a template to create different sized discs for the eyes and wings (larger disc, cut in half). Students added ears and a nose as well. All of these pieces were added using the Score and Slip method. Students used plastic knives to create score marks in the clay and then added water for "glue". After the clay dried, students used acrylic paints to add color to their owls. They did a fantastic job!
