Batik Flower Drawings 4th grade

The Fourth graders drew close-up versions of the flowers they observed in wax crayon. Their papers were then crumpled up and washed with a blue paint. To achieve a special Batik-like effect, the papers were then ironed. 

Georgia O'Keefe inspired Flowers-6th Grade

The 6th graders looked at real flowers and drew them LARGE in oil pastel. Some watercolored the background on top of the craypas. We encouraged them to start in the middle and have some of the flower go off the edge. They are hung in the main lunchroom throughout Winter bringing bright Spring and Summer thoughts to our snowy campus.
