Completed Monochromatic Tree Landscapes

I hung some finished monochromatic tree landscapes in the hallway!  The 5th grade did an amazing job!

Monochromatic Tree Paintings - 5th Grade

Students in the 5th Grade are learning to mix tints, tones and shades.  They are using this knowledge to paint a monochromatic (one color) tree painting.  Using overlapping layers of tints, tones, and shades helps to create depth in their landscapes.

Rainbow School Portrait

Tonight is open house and the "Rainbow School Portrait" is up!  The students loved seeing this all come together.  They have been gathering around and searching to find their "selfie".  Many students got to help me piece it together and many also helped to hang it.  It was great seeing the entire school work together to make one big collaborative piece of art!
