Second Quarter Amazing Art

Amazing Art!

Kinders have been hard at work creating color wheels. They have been exploring how to mix colors and painting basics. 

We got our inspiration from the book Mouse Paint. After break we will create color wheels. 

1st graders have been hard at work creating Story Collages. These are inspired by Ezra Jack Keats books, who uses collage and drawing to create his stories. The first graders came up with a story with a setting and characters. Then then painted their backgrounds. They created a collage on top of their backgrounds to match their stories. Then then drew and attached their characters!

 2nd Graders have been exploring the elements of art: texture, shape, color, line, and form. They will create a piece of their choice using all the elements after break. So far they have used, line, color and texture. 

 

3rd Graders have been using teamwork and problem solving skills to plan and create murals for our school. They had to come up with a message and target group. Then they drew out their ideas. After break they will be drawing and painting the murals to hang up around our school. 

4th Graders just finished a fan favorite: Pinch Pot Creatures! They learned how to form their creature and add details in clay. They are painting them with lots of colors and details!

 
5th Graders finished up their favorite medium projects a few weeks ago. They were able to choose their favorite medium to work in and their subject matter.
