This Week in Art
ECC classes will finish up their Sheep project by gluing white pom poms on the sheep’s body, head and tail….BAA!!!
Kindergarten will glue wiggly eyes and a yarn mouth onto their Leaf People Collages.
First Graders will be drawing and coloring in the poppies to their Poppy Field project from the scene in the movie The Wizard of Oz. They learned that objects closer to you appear larger and objects in the distance appear smaller and blurrier at times.
Our Second Grade class will finish up their Folk Art project this week. Everyone did a wonderful job using the vibrant colors and patterned textures inspired by the folk artist Heather Galler.
I’m SO PROUD of our Third graders who are steadily coloring in the still life scene of a vase with sunflowers. Our next step will be to add highlights with white oil pastels and to use darker tones of colors for shading areas. This project was inspired from a slide share presentation of Van Gogh and Renoir’s Sunflower paintings.
The Fourth Grade will be making Turkey centerpieces for our school wide Thanksgiving Feast this year. They will be using oatmeal containers for the base/body and construction paper for all the other body parts. After completion we will continue on with our regular art curriculum.
Fifth graders will start water coloring their Fall Batik project. We have replaced traditional dyes used in this process with watercolors and used glue in place of wax.
Our Sixth grade class will continue on with using the pointillism technique of painting dots on their River Seine paintings.l
Seventh graders will finish up their oil pastel Fall Leaf Abstract Design drawings. They are doing a wonderful job!
Eighth Grade will begin to work on their Self Portrait Collages this week. They will be pasting in various images, pictures, poems, sayings, and words to depict a collage centering on Who They Are right now in their life.
Art Elective class will be working on their Shadow Boxes this week. Look for pictures coming soon…
Keep Creating~
