Tulip Grove Elementary: 2nd - 4th Grade

When I think of Red Grooms...I think of his amazing works dealing with cities.  My 4th graders created "windows" into apartment buildings.  We created our city street in one of our main hall ways.

3rd grade looked at Dali Salad.  They created self portraits with their head being on a bed of their fav. food. This was done in tempera paint.  

2nd grade looked at Ruckus Taxi. They created mixed media taxi using collage & marker.

2nd grade 3-D self-portraits

Students created their self-portraits and cut them out. Once finished, they thought about a special place and drew the backgroud for their self portraits. Using cardboard pieces, they created a 3-D look by gluing the cardboard in stacks of 2 or more to the back of their self-portraits and then to their backgrounds.

Media used: markers, crayons, colored pencils, glue, scissors, cardboard

Kindergarten created and colored their self-portraits through a guided lesson. They then created and painted their backgrounds. When their backgrounds were dry, they cut out their self-portraits and glued them to their backgrounds.

Media used: Crayons, Pencils, Tempera Cakes, Scissors, Glue

4th Grade Pillow Self-Portraits

Students began by drawing their self-portraits on a large sheet of paper. They then transferred their artwork to a piece of fabric pre-cut for them. Most of the students traced their previous drawings. Once finished they used fabric markers and fabric crayons to color their self portraits. Once the pillows were sewn by a volunteer, the students were able to stuff their own pillow. Then they were sewn up to finish the pillow. The students really enjoyed their pillows! 

Media used: Pencils, Fabric Markers, Fabric Pencils, Pillow Stuffing

The sculptures are from the 3rd graders.We used Traffic as our inspiration. Materials included: foam core, markers, model magic, and poster board. The vehicles in profile are the work of 2nd graders. Materials included: markers, scissors, and pictures of vehicles.  1st grade Red Grooms inspired paintings with crayon and marker. These were inspired by Red Grooms'  Sunflowers near Menerbes. The inspiration work was Ruckus Taxi. The chair multi media collage with leaf rubbings are by our kindergarteners. We stenciled chairs and glued leaf rubbings to crayon colored backgrounds. Autumn was our inspiration. Red Grooms' Dali Salad was the inspiration for our 4th grade imaginary creature salad. We used paper, scissors, white glue and plastic bowls.
