Art Room Lessons and Projects

The art classes are open-ended in that they include math, social studies, literature, science and religion connections and collaborative teamwork with their teachers.

In art class we address the 4 C's of learning which are important aspect in education. They are critical thinking, communication, collaboration and creativity.

We have completed our lessons on the Master painters of the Italian renaissance period of art.

The Pre K and Kindergarten classes have welcomed the season of Fall and the Thanksgiving Holiday with Sunflower paintings and turkeys and owls.
They have also learned their colors and how to create a pattern with different shapes.

First grade created thank you booklets with drawings of the people that help them and their favorite activity, and a  Native American landscape using beans for the tee pee design.

 Second grade explored the art of Mexican artist Frida Kahlo and drew a portrait of her embellishing her with pompoms and sparkles. They are now working on a water color of the moon witk a tree branch overlay. we also learned how to Moon Walk Thanks to Michael Jackson.

Third grade created a Navaho sand art  and copied a poem that relates to the sand painting that is an impotant aspect of their art.

Fourth grade Assembled a Wacky Witch leg collage to accompany their Wizard of Oz classroom theme, and a cornucopia painted with water colors.

Grade five worked on a group project of Renoirs " Girl with a watering Can" and researched Renoir's life for a written Bio which is part of their art copybook grade


Sixth graders are working on a paper sculpture in the style of Frank Stella using various french curve templates, which will be assembled into a sculpture.

Seventh and eigth grade have been introduced to corporate logos and their importance in company identification. We are studying copyright laws, public domain and common use terms which  relate to all creative work, even our intellect and ideas. Valuable information for students who write, research and use the internet.

  Looking forward to seeing you at Conferences. I will be in the art room where you can see your child's work for the first trimester.

 

Thank you
