Fall Projects

It has been a colorful fall in the art room at Wayne Thomas. The students have been hard at work exploring and creating. 
Kindergarten: Learned about the modern Japanese Artist Yayoi Kusama and studied her use of line in her pumpkin artwork.  Students learned 14 famous lines and used their favorites to make a neon pumpkin painting.  

First Grade Learned about Vincent Van Gogh and his painting Starry Night while working with the warm and cool colors to make a pumpkin patch at night.

Second Grade Learned about tree silhouettes and made a wonderful night sky showing monochromatic color mixing and painted nocturnal animals in silhouette.  

Third Grade Learned about Medieval castles and the art of heraldry while designing their own castle luminaries from clay.  Students also designed their own family crest to hang in the halls of Castle Wayne Thomas.

Fourth Grade Finished up the 3-D drawing unit and celebrated their hard work with a fun filled clay cupcake celebration, all the fun without the added calories!

Fifth Grade has been working on a mythical creature macrophotography drawing project using pattern and texture to create one of a kind eyes.  They truly are amazing!

I look forward to seeing you over conferences.  If I miss you when you are at Wayne Thomas please leave word with the office and I will set up a conference as soon as I return from my other building.  Have a wonderful holiday!
