4th Grade Hunderwasser Trees!

In 4th grade we've been looking at artist and Architect, Freidensreich Hundertwasser, whose name means "Peace Kingdom Hundred Waters" and whose architecture designs are among the most unique in the world.  He was a believer in keeping the world as green as possible and his designs always included ways to have trees, bushes and grass incorporated into his buidlings.
These collages are made from paintings the students created, and then cut in imitation of Hunderwasser's paintings.
These are all from Ms Schaefer and Ms Pape's Classes!  The rest will be coming out soon-

and a HUGE thank you to all those wonderful parents who came along to the Walker last week for our field trip!  We had a great time!

4th Grade Ink and Watercolor/Chalk Houses!

These are quite spectacular pieces of work by our 4th graders!  We found our houses on Google Earth and printed out a color copy that we then gridded to match our 12x18 paper.  We drew our houses in pencil, looking especially at details of texture and trim.  Then we used fine calligraphy pens to go over our pencil lines carefully and when the ink dried, we erased out the pencil lines.  Color was added with watercolor or colored pencil or soft pastel.
