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!
