Here are some watercolor landscapes the 7th and 8th graders made. Boy, I'm just watercolor crazy lately.

In the Abstract

These are some abstract watercolor paintings the kindergarteners made.

We talked about abstract (or non-objective) painting and how it doesn't look like anything in the "real world."

The kids painted several shapes first and then painted them inside and out.

The Birds

We actually started this project in February, and we finally got around to finishing it.

We looked at the the artwork of John James Audubon, and talked about how he would paint birds in their natural environments.
We then looked at pictures of birds that live in North Alabama, and the kids chose one to paint in a "bird's-eye view."

I'm sorry I don't have the names of the kids who painted these, but I forgot to write them down before I hung the pictures in the hallway.
