Art ideas for first grade

The August art session with my little "firsties" was a HUGE success. We created "Wild About 1st Grade" self-portraits. They turned out so dang cute! It was a lot of fun to combine some guided art along with "do your own thing" directions. The bulletin board is adorable. We'll be adding their writing prompt responses to "I'm WILD About 1st Grade Because..." as soon as we finish the edit process. I created a file with the guided art directions, supply list, and writing prompts. Feel free to…

This art project is inspired by a series of books by Rachel Bright. During the month of February, we focus on kindness, love and friendship so this story is a great way to set the stage.

These Folk Art Trees created with wintery colors is a quick and easy art project to do when days are cold and short. Packed with art standards, this 60-minute project teaches line, pattern, shape and watercolor techniques. https://d3ndagut9sanks.cloudfront.net/2022-D/VID-DSS/1+Winter+Trees+Drawing+V2+edited.mp4 WHAT YOU’LL NEED:– Watercolor paper or regular all-purpose paper– Black Sharpie (or waterproof) marker– Medium paintbrush– Liquid
