Abstract line paintings

Kinder artist had a great time examining lines and trying to find Larry the imaginary snake, who likes to hide in lines around the school :)

Legends

First grade artists painted sunsets just as Little Gopher did in The Legend of the Indian Paintbrush. Students learned how legends start as a true story but throughout time may get exaggerated. Students also read the Legend of the Blue Bonnet and created a class bar graph of things that we like and things that we love based on their sentimental value.

Cave art, Pictographs

2nd grade artist studied the effects of real and simulated texture in art. They aged and texturized paper to give a cave feel and then painted symbols to create a fictional Native American story.

Totem poles!

Our third grade artist learned about the honor and symbolism behind a totem pole. They also learned why artifacts are important to study history. They have created some awesome totem characters!

Tribal shields

This project was created by our 4th grade artists. They studied the value of symbols and their meanings in Native American culture. They also learned the about 3 types of balance in art:symmetrical, asymmetrical and radial.

Its a Mystery!?

Each month I post a mystery artist on out bulletin board. I give a few examples of the artist's work but do not give out their name. Students can find details about the work to research it. Students submit their answer for a drawing. Last month Madilyn in Mrs Bloom's class won her choice of art supplies for knowking that Da Vinci created the Mona Lisa :)

4th Grade Poetry Leaves

For this project students analyzed art peices for the element of contrast. Students then applied the concept of contrast to a design that was painted on a leaf. Students also painted an abstract background and disected a Robert Frost poem.

3rd Movement Prints

For this project we learned about the Principal of Design Movement. We studied Van Gogh's Starry Night (famous for its sense of movement) and then we used shaving cream and food coloring to create movement prints. To culminate we compared and contrasted the movment in Van Goghs work to that of Action Jackson!
