Spring has Sprung!
Kindergarten Artists have been busy drawing, cutting, gluing,
and scribbling. We
reviewed the colors of the rainbow and made a picture of our
friend “ROY G. BV!”
They learned about warm and cool colors and turned their
scribbles into great artwork!
Hungry Anyone? In first grade the students made pop-art
texture pizzas. They
came out wonderful.
They also looked at Claude Monet’s impressionistic paintings and
sponge painted water lilies of their own.
The second graders made 3D aquariums with construction
paper. They also
worked really hard on their line drawing, warm and cool, colored
landscapes.
Currently they are looking at artwork by Georgia O’Keefe and
creating flowers using pastels.
In third grade we learned about shadows.
The students made two figures with shadows.
They also looked at Pablo Picasso’s cubism.
They drew cubist style faces on styrofoam and printed
them with ink.
Fourth Grade students painted landscapes with tall birch
trees. They learned
about the artist Gustav Klimt.
They are currently working on abstract profiles.
The Fifth grade students worked on 3D paper stars that
are hanging in the cafeteria.
Then they painted paper using watercolors to represent
the four seasons.
They drew and cut out trees to glue onto their paintings.
They are now working on Henri Matisse inspired collages.
The Sixth grade students also made 3D paper stars that
are hanging in the cafeteria.
They did watercolor paintings and are now working on
turning objects into abstract cubist art.
The Seventh grade students studied stained glass.
They looked at many pictures of Cathedrals and made their
own stained glass windows that are hanging in the windows at the
end of the hallway.
Now they are drawing tessellations and learning about M.C.
Escher.
