7th grade water colors with trees

Recently Lincoln 7th graders studied the artist Tom McCracken.  They made reproductions of his work using crayon, water colors, and black acrylic paint.  They all turned out very unique.

Polish Ornaments

8th grade Geometry students at Lincoln created these beautiful Polish Paper Ornaments.  They took the ornaments and decorated a tree in Down Town Milwaukee at Cathedral Square Park.  The best part about these ornaments was the collaboration between the students and the connections between math and art that the students got to experience!

7th grade Dessert

All kids love to eat, especially my 7th grade students!  The kids loved learning about artist Wayne Thiebaud.  They created drawings inspired by real desserts (yes, they ate them too!).  Once they were done, the students learned about mixing colors and the color wheel to produce these look alike paintings.

Day of the Dead Art at Lincoln

The 6th graders at Lincoln have been hard at work learning about Day of the Dead.  Check out these awesome skulls that they created out of aluminum and copper!
