Happy 2019!

Welcome back to school for the new year! Hopefully everyone had a wonderful vacation and holiday! Here is what we were working on at the end of 2018:

First grade was learning about shapes and patterns through studying the work of Wassily Kandinsky, Kente cloth, and Romero Britto:









Students in first grade are also learning about the artistic process and creating "choice" works of art of their own design:



Second grade learned about how line can show movement, as well as creating patterns through weaving an Ojo de Dios:



Some students liked this technique so much that they created their own at home:







Students studied OP Art artists and created more patterns using complementary colors:







Kindergarten Shape Study

Kindergarten students have been learning about shapes and creating artwork by using them. 
We also made some literary connections!

5th Grade Line Projects

Fifth-graders have been learning about using foreshortening to make artwork look more three-dimensional. They have also been using line and shape in their choice projects.

3rd Grade Line and Shape Projects

Third graders learned about contour and cross-contour lines and create observational drawings of fruit. They also used what they had learned about geometric shapes earlier in the year for their own choice pieces.
