This week the art room lit up with the neon glow of a groovy 1960s living room. My second graders painted bright papers, cut them into organic and geometric shapes, and turned them into glowing lava lamps. Each piece starts with a neon shaving cream print and ends with a mini map labeling every shape they used. This lesson is a perfect mix of color, contrast… and math? Far out! Supplies: Neon paint, painted papers, scissors, glue, shaving cream, markers, construction paper. #elementaryart #artte
