Hello All! Students have been hard at work over the past weeks in the art room. Last Friday we were able to review a few elements of art with the upper grades and went outside to use our spacial skills with the younger grades. I have attached the pictures from those projects in my Flikr stream. Grades 3-5 practiced using line, shape, and value by taking off one of their shoes and drawing it. Students have to really focus on the details of their shoes and the results are fantastic! Younger grades had to work as a group (teamwork!) and come up with a large drawing that they could put their actual bodies in for a picture. Students drew monsters, cars, ferris wheels, and huge pizzas! They then incorporated each member of their group into the artwork for a picture. These pictures are attached to the right. What a fun Friday!
Here is an update of what each grade level is working on currently in their regular art classes!
Kindergarten: Students are finishing up their collage self-portraits that they began a few weeks ago this week. Students added the remaining features of their faces, their shoulders and hair. The pictures of the finished artworks will be in the Flikr stream! Kindergartners will learn about the color wheel next and how to mix secondary colors from primary colors.
1st Grade: Students are working on on their "Starry Night" landscapes inspired by Van Gogh. This week students are continuing to add color with water colors and are focusing on the beautiful swirly sky
2nd Grade: Students are finishing up their "wild beast" self-portraits this week. Pictures of the finished artwork to come soon!
3rd Grade: This week, students are finishing up their Monet inspired landscape. Students either drew a scene with garden inspiration or a scene with water/boat inspiration. Both of these scenes are commonly found in Monet's artwork.
4th Grade: Students are finishing up their Robert Indiana inspired word designs. Words, shapes, lines, and color are a common occurrence in Indiana's artwork and the student's too!
5th Grade: Students are hard at work on their Tessellations. This beautiful original pattern fills their papers. After tracing their original polygon, they add designs to make their artwork even more interesting.
I will be posting pictures of finished artwork as it gets finished in the Flikr stream. Have a great week!
