Art room updates!

Georgia O'Keefe Flowers by Kinders

In Kinder we worked on using resources to help us draw flowers. We used our brains, pictures and fake flowers to help us. The result were amazingly beautiful flowers!



1st Grade Illustrations

In 1st grade we studied Jan Brett's illustrations. We leanred how to draw a setting and characters. The target was to tell their story by using pictures. We created a story map to help us stay organized. Our finished products were outlined with only one detail colored to make it POP!





2nd Grade "Starry Nights"

In 2nd Grade we worked on examining Vincent Gogh's "Starry Night." We studied how he made movement in his art. Then we practiced creating movement in our own skies. We started with marker and then used paint to create movement. We used tints for the colors and collaged the foregrounds. 









3rd Grade Aboriginal Dot Paintings

3rd graders studied the art of the Austrailian Native People, the Aboriginals. We discussed and practiced creating visual rhythm. Then they created their own animals and designs. 








4th Grade One-Point Perspective Drawings

4th graders worked hard on these drawings! They practiced drawing one point perspective to create 3-D and depth in their art. They chose the way they colored either by, outlining, using colored pencils, crayons or marker.
