We are reviewing a fabulous home art curriculum, Home Art Studio! We were using just the third grade level, but recently got the 1st grade kit to review also. I am blogging through our art projects to help keep me {the non-art lover} accountable, and also so I can prove to my kids that we DID do art!
Our latest project was Rollercoasters, which again I was excited about, since it seemed pretty simple and fun. This is the first project on the 1st grade DVD. We watched the DVD before beginning, and then referred to the printed lesson plan while working. On the DVD they enjoyed seeing real rollercoasters!
This was another project I knew Ladybug could participate in. I cut out her strips and she drew the black lines on and told me where to glue stuff. I helped her a lot, but she loved every moment of the project and the end result!
Krash was extremely into this one, he LOVED it!
He worked long after the other two, making many track pieces on his own and working hard to construct his coaster. I didn’t help him one bit with it!
Naming the coasters was a part of the project too, Krash chose “King Coaster” for his.
Pac loves art, so he jumped at the chance to join us and completed his coaster on his own too.
The completed coasters with the happy bunch {happy because they love doing art projects}!
Since I know these won’t keep forever, I took a picture of each one for the kids, this is Ladybug’s, “Bat Coaster.”
Krash’s “King Coaster,” I love how he connected all of his pieces so thoughtfully!
Finally, PacMan’s “Stealth Raptor.”
Yay! No paint again! I am going to lose it when paint comes back into the art project time!
