4th Graders studied aboriginal dot paintings, then created their own first by drawing an animal from an interesting viewpoint and cutting it out. They then added interesting patterns and lines using q-tips.

Tissue Foil
Students glued tissue paper onto tin foil. Once it was dry, they ripped the foil in strips and pieces and glued onto black paper.
Penguins!
I did these penguins with pre-k and kindergarten, changing them slightly for each grade. For pre-k, the kids used white crayon to draw lines all over white paper. They then painted with blue watercolor to make the white crayon show up. Kindergarten used a texture plate and white crayons instead of just drawing lines. After they created the background, they cut out ovals for the penguins. They turned out really cute.
Paper Sculpture Masks
Spent one day going over paper sculpting techniques and practicing, one day cutting out our masks and one/two days creating the masks.
Cyclops Monster Weaving
These turned out great, though they do take awhile to complete. First, students create a circular weaving on white cardboard for the loom. These will become the eye of their cyclops creature. Once the weaving is done, they can create the cyclops. We talked about texture, to give the cyclops creature lots of detail. Some classes painted their creatures with basic colors (I limited it to 3 colors per creature), and then added oil pastel on top for the texture/details. Some classes used oil pastel for the whole creature. Really fun!
Texture Squares
Kindergarten has been learning about texture, so they did some simple texture rubbings using texture plates. On top, they drew different animals.
Clay Pinch Pot Animals
Basic pinch pots, with added parts to make fun animals! These are before they were painted.
