Young 5 and Kindergarten artists have started the year learning about lines!
So far they have drawn lines with crayon, made lines out of pipe cleaners, sculpted lines with clay, and have created line sculptures with paper and glue!
First grade artists created rocket ship drawings to review the types of lines they learned last year!
Then they created mini-Mondrian masterpieces to review the primary colors and vertical and horizontal lines.
Then they experimented with mixing the primary colors together to make new colors! They mixed colored clay, molded it into a shape, and then tried to see how may colors they could mix with paint!
Second grade artists are learning how to turn a stick person into a “bubble person” and are working on showing movement in their drawings.
They posed for each other and tried to capture what each part of the body was doing. Then they chose their favorite pose and created a moving-bubble person- painting!
Third grade artists have been working on sunflower still lifes! They are learning how to draw what they are seeing in front of them, not what they imagine in their heads.
Fifth grade artists created sketchbooks at the beginning of the year that they have been using for warm-ups, planning sketches for final projects, and free-drawing.
Then they started their first self-portrait project of the year! They are showing the way they look with half of their self-portrait and are showing their interests on the other half!
