Young 5 and Kindergarten artists began the new year creating artwork that shows different emotions!
They drew self portraits and changed the direction of or the shapes of their facial features to show different feelings.
Then they created an abstract painting to show how they feel when they are experiencing each emotion. They used color and lines to express these feelings.
Then they created robots by drawing, cutting, and gluing shapes together to design their own unique robot.
First grade artists created crayon rubbings of their symmetrical masks! They used watercolor paints to paint over 2 of their crayon rubbings.
Then they used brayers and ink to create prints of their masks!
On the last art class in January, they covered their masks in foil and colored them with permanent markers. In February they will choose their favorite three versions of their mask to mount together.
Second grade artists added color to the trains they drew during one art class.
Then they prepared a paper plate to be a weaving loom by painting it and adding small notches for yarn around the edges. In February they will warp their looms and begin to weave with yarn!
Third grade artists glazed their coil creations they had made in December before break!
Then they created painted papers that will be used for an upcoming collage!
Fifth grade artists mounted their favorite collagraph prints and used descriptive language to write about their memory they were showing in their artwork.
Then they finished a foil sculpture that they had started with Mrs. Russell.
Lastly, they painted a series of 8 mini abstract paintings that will be used to make an accordion book in February.
