Genesis 2:7 (NLT)
"Then the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man’s nostrils, and the man became a living person."

Art carries something that does not fade. It carries the mark of its creator...life has been breathed into it. Art is imbued with this life by its creator - in creating art, we imitate our Creator who first breathed life into us.

2nd Grade Project: Aztec Sun - Color Temperature

Warm and Cool Colors were the focus of our 2nd Graders study of the Aztec sun.  In this project we used the shape inspired by the Aztec sun to create pictures to be used in our color temperatures lesson.


Students began by drawing their own suns.  These suns needed to have a face, rays, and a background.


These three parts were divided down the center of the page by a curvy line.  On either side of this line students used different kinds of shapes to draw their sun: one side would be angular shapes while the other was rounded shapes.  After drawing and outlining were completed, students moved to coloring with pastels.


The students then colored with warm and cool colors on either side of our dividing line, alternating between warm and cool colors.
