February & March in Art
We are currently working on the following projects....
Kindergarten- We read the story Mr. Tiger Goes Wild! and made Mr. Tiger drawings using various different painting methods.
First Grade- We are learning about the artist Alexander Calder and his mobiles. We are using colorful wire to form our own fish mobiles.
Second Grade- We are working with iPads to create the modern "selfie" in the style of modern artist Chuck Close.
Third Grade- We finished up our metal repousse project, some classes made snowflakes and 1 class made flowers. Our next project is well underway. We are studying the paintings of artist Georgia O'Keefe and are using the iPads to help us change our perspective of a chosen flower for our different compositions.
Fourth Grade- We just completed our long study of Optical Illusions connecting math and art. The students made 3-d cubes with 6 different optical illusions drawn. We are currently working on a paper sculpture project based on the artwork of modern artist, Jen Stark.
Fifth Grade- We are all wrapped up in our current weaving project. Students are learning about the woven basket and are eagerly constructing their own functional baskets from jute twine and colorful yarns.
February is National Youth Art Month.
We celebrated this year with our district level art shows.
