Primary + Secondary Colors in First Grade

Making school visits as an author-illustrator affords me the opportunity to see excellence in education. These glorious images were created by first graders in northern Ohio. They were hanging in the hallway to welcome students and visitors alike. The old teacher in me gets so excited over seeing this type of incredible work on display. 

From my observations it appears that each student created both a painting in primary colors and one in secondary colors as well. They were displayed together on bulletin board strips in the hallway.

The paintings above remind me of the graphic 'thank you' notes 
that were created by third graders in response to my picture book, 
"You're Wonderful"
following one of my school visits.

I know that these images are probably of most excitement 
to my fellow art teachers. 

I have some earlier articles here that I designed for your support.

  1. Gorgeous colors! My art class (K/1) did a series of Kandinsky Circles, 6 on each page. I hung them side by side and they looked incredible.

  3. Wow. I'm surprised and impressed that art education is still going on in some elementary schools. And the level of depth seems pretty amazing as well. I remember playing with things like glue, paint and construction paper, but what we were doing was never related to any particular artist or style. It was fun, but that's all I remember about art class until high school humanities. It's nice to see there are teachers who understand that students of any age have the capacity to not only appreciate art, but to understand and be able to relate it to the world around them. A very hopeful post. Good job.
