Garden Mosaics! (1st grade)

Children in 1st grade have been working on these mosaics for weeks. First they sketched images that were garden-related in their sketchbooks. They then chose a favorite image and enlarged it on a 12"x18" paper. They then studies various styles and patterns of placing mosaic tiles down.

I am to display all work beautifully, affording each work the respect it deserves.

Dragon Paintings (Lipshie/Bergin)

Kids in 1st Grade have been working on first sketching, then enlarging and last, painting dragons of all types. These are amazing paintings. Drawings were done in sharpie, background and dragon in watercolor, and the details were done in tempera. Enjoy!!
