Great Art Start!

The year has gotten off to a great start! Here is a brief run down of what we have currently been thinking about and creating in art! In all classes we have been reviewing how lines, shapes and color can be combined to create great pieces of art. Kindergarten: Students have been learning about lines and fingerpainting. 1st grade: We have been discussing shapes and creating collages. 2nd and 4th grades: Students have been discussing how to create patterns using various lines and shapes. We have been working on creating new species of insects. 3rd grade: Students have been painting using the 'wet on wet' technique with watercolor. We have been discussing John James Audubon's "American Flamingo" and we are creating some of our own. 5th grade: We have been discussing free-form, irregular shapes in nature and are creating some of our own using tempera paints. The "blottos" we are creating will be put into a larger collage once dried. Hope to see many faces during our Resource Extravaganza for the first Open House tonight!! Stop by the media center from 6-8pm after visiting your classroom!
