4th ART with HEART

4th Grade artists created these gorgeous 3D heart displays. They created their own designs based on the elements and principles of design!

Picasso's Rose Period

Our 3rd grade artist recently completed an art critique that compared and contrasted Picasso's Blue and Rose period paintings. Picasso's Blue period is mostly known for the dreary blue tones and sad subject matter that reflected his depressed mood. Then came Picasso's Rose period, after the artist had fallen in love with someone special; during this period his works were comprised of primarily rose colors and happier entertainers as his subjects.

Students worked in groups to complete a "table talk" art critique. We of course used our ArtSmart resources to use identify appropriate ARTiculation of our thoughts! These talks are a fabulous time for learning because there are really no wrong answers (expect for no answer at all). It is great to see such young artists challenge themselves to really look at a work of art, decide their personal opinion of it. Then they look deep into the paintings to identify ART words.

You can see their table talk presentations below!

To finish the lesson each student designed a Rose themed heart to celebrate Picasso's loving mood change.

Community Service Update

Our second annual Holiday Community Service Project was a great success. I am happy to announce that Ridgedale raised over $500 for WVU children's hospital. That is amazing! Thank you to all who participated, volunteered and donated! Thank you also to Miss Southern WV for talking to our student about supporting our community!

MLK Gallery Display

Mr. Rogers 2nd grade class created some awesome art made from pillow cases as part of Art Mons annual MLK display. The theme this year is "every great thing begins with a dream" That is why we created our art on pillow cases. Half of the students work will be displayed at Arts Mon with a reception Friday, the 17th from 5-8pm. The gallery will remain open until Months end. The other half of the students work will be displayed in the Ridgedale library.
