Those are wonderful! I might have to make one to put in my classroom next year. Maybe I'll even try it out with my kids. :)
ReplyDeleteWow! I am so blown away by these suns! What a beautiful and bright art project. I love how unique each child's sun turned out. The textures, colors, and words add so many nice touches. What a treasure your kids will have forever. Adore!

Hi Farley:
ReplyDeleteI am not-in-the-least-bit artsy, creative, or anything else necessary for this project.
And yet... There is something so positive and bright and cheerful and, well, possible about it!
I'm thinking I could try it over the summer and then have next year's kiddos give it a go.
Thank you for posting it in a way that I could follow along...
Next year, the sixth graders may actually turn to each other in wonder and say, "We're doing art in our room today!!!"

ReplyDeleteDelighted in Second
Ahhhh, oh my gosh these are so incredibly AMAZING!!!! I just can't get over how great they turned out!!! I am going out this weekend to buy canvases and supplies for my kiddos to make these!!! And I love the "shine" touch... what a good message for the kiddos to take with them as they leave us!! I love all the bright fun scrapbook paper you used too! Did you use a specific kit/get them from somewhere specific or were they just a bunch of leftovers?? Thank you so much for the inspiration! I am so excited to do these!!

ReplyDeleteDid your students get words from a book you read?
I would love to try these with my class - here in Alaska we need all the sun we can get in January!!
B-Utiful!! I'm going to give this a run with my own three! We can hang them when we move into our new home in a few weeks. I'm looping back up to 4th next year and I know my group would LOVE to do this!! Thanks for all you do and all you share!!

b.e.a.u.t.i.f.i.l. I made my sample this evening and cannot wait to do them with my students this fall. Simply gorgeous. And what a great piece to take home as a keeper! Thanks a million!
ReplyDeleteStephanie
I love, love, love these. I teach 4th grade and just have to try these this year. Couple questions...what type of paint did you use? How'd you make the cute swirlies? And lastly, what size canvas did you use? So inspirational! The colors make any room a "happy place."
ReplyDeleteDid you answer the questions above somewhere? I'm wondering about the canvas size and type of paint. I'm thinking so not as crafty as you but I think this would make a wonderful activity to kick off the year next week.

regular acrylic paint... not sure what the exact canvas size was but it was bigger than a piece of writing paper...hope that helps a little :)
DeleteThank you for posting this. I am a teacher but instead of my whole class making one I made one this summer with my 4 year old daughter. I used the word smile and since I don't have a cricket I just used the largest sticker letters I could find. I have had many compliments from my teacher friends and students and I have told them about your site.
ReplyDeleteHi! I did this with my class!!!! It was AWESOME!!!!!! My kids had a blast! Come on over to my blog and check it out!
