This week in Art Class...

Here's what we've worked on this week in art class:

Kindergarten-This week we started our artwork for the art show (October 6th!). The students filled in the background of their white paper by using texture plates and crayons. After this, the students were given skin color paper, drew the shape of their face, cut it out and glued it onto their paper.

1st Grade- This week the students finished up drawing their landscape painting inspired by Starry Night by Van Gogh. Also some classes began painting their landscape with watercolors.

2nd Grade- This week the students finished up drawing their Aboriginal inspired artwork on their white paper. We discussed painting procedures and the students learned how to pump their own paint from th paint jugs. Some students then began to paint their artwork.

3rd Grade- This week the students finished up drawing their landscape garden scenes inspired by Monet. I then reviewed painting procedures with the students, and discussed sponge-painting techniques with them. Some students then began to paint their garden scene.

4th Grade-This week has been challenging for the students, but all made it through! We finished designing our polygons that we will create our tessellation with, and the students then began to draw a grid on their white paper. After the grid was complete, students began to trace their polygon onto their paper using the grid.

5th Grade- This week, we began drawing our fruit still-life on good white paper. The students were challenged to draw a group of objects from life, and I was VERY impressed with the students' work!

More to come next week! =)
