Arty Party

I am an elementary art teacher just outside Detroit, MI. This blog was made to share lessons. I hope you enjoy some of the cool stuff my students create.

Symmetrical Suns

My third grade students created these suns.  They started by folding the paper in half and drawing half of their sun. They did a pencil transfer onto the other side by rubbing the back of the paper to get it exactly symmetrical. Then they traced it with sharpie, painted with florescent tempera paint, and went back over the black lines once more. They love this project and I think they turn out great! This project takes about four 45 minute class periods. 



Level: 3rd Grade
