2nd Robots

This was a FUN second grade art project. Students looked at shapes as parts of a robot.  They also learned about "friend" or analogous colors (colors that sit next to each other in the rainbow or color wheel. We finished this project off with a printmaking design to border our robot.

This is my welcome to art video :) This was a great introduction to art class, it goes over the basics in a fun way. A major advantage is that I do not have to repeat the "rules" to all 18 of my classes!!

ARTfully Delicious!

Second grade first project of the year explore knowledge in the content area of COLOR. Developing on last years skills, students used white and black paint to create TINTS AND SHADES of a color. Tints are lighter and shades are darker. They cut and sorted these new colors into a yummy ice cream cone.

After the art project was finished these second grade students participated in their first art critique. This is a time to use ART SMART words to talk about their own art work as well as their peers. Below are a list of ART SMART VOCABULARY words we like to use!
