We have been learning different ways to print in 2nd grade art. Students learned how a print is a copy of something. Students practiced with kneaded erasers and stamp pads to explore printing. Then, we looked at the artist Piet Mondrian and his geometric artwork. Students created a monotype print using paint on plastic. We also used the primary colors: red, yellow and blue. Students really enjoyed making this artwork!
1st grade artists have been designing characters and comic stories. We looked at how art connects with story telling through comics and picture stories. Students worked to draw creative characters. After that, we discussed the setting of a story. We finished off with creating action in a comic story. Here are a few examples.
Kindergarten artists have been creating a fun artwork that represents their family. We discussed how all families are different yet have things in common. Students created a paper version of Russian nesting dolls.
4th graders are creating a clay relief symbol with 3D and carved parts that represent who they are. Students first sketched and colored designs. Then students cut out a large slab shape for the clay relief. We will be adding clay and carving this coming week. Then students will paint their clay symbols.
5th graders created a dot design by stitching yarn on painted cardboard. Students painted and splattered paint on the cardboard before learning about dot designs. We practiced radiating symmetry, rotating squares and a spectrum design. Students chose one of those designs or their own dot design. 5th graders loved this project!
1st grade artists enjoyed learning about Andy Goldsworthy and his art in nature. Goldsworthy goes into nature and makes art from what he finds outside. Here are some images of his work. 1st graders worked in groups to create art using items from nature. We didn't go outside because of the cold and snow. Here are some of the groups' creations! 4th graders finished creating a paper lantern based on Christian art. Students chose a Bible story to represent on their paper. Then students cut out the story using simple shapes and X-acto knives. To add color and make the light still go through, students glued colored tissue paper to cover the holes. Can you tell which stories students are expressing? 3rd graders have been learning how to be expressive with faces. One of the first activities we did was draw each others' faces. Then students created background papers using paper marbling, bubbles and sponges. We learned about the warm and cool colors as well. Warm colors are reds, yellows, oranges and pinks. Cool colors are blues, greens and purples. Students folded paper and created a symmetrical face. Students cut out different facial expression masks to place on their special paper.
2nd grade artists have been working with symbols and learning how symbols are expressed in art and life. Students learned about Ancient Egypt and created life-size mummy cases. Here is a short animation we watched to learn about the mummification process. Students drew and colored hieroglyphics on the mummy case. Hieroglyphics were the symbols ancient Egyptians used to share messages and record history. |
