Express Yourself!

Expressionism is the new style of Art we're learning about here at Southwest!
Expressionism is all about showing emotions in art work: whether that's through choosing special colors to show emotions or making objects look a certain way to show emotions.
I took some action shots of the second graders in Mr. Whaley's class while they were working today.  They are learning about Paul Klee: one of Paul Klee's famous quotes is, "Drawing is taking a line for a walk."  So the students are "taking a line for a walk" and then going back into the drawing and finding new things.  For second grade, they were specifically looking for ways to turn their lines into a landscape.


Color, color, and MORE color!  LOVE IT!

Finding hills and flowers.

Trees, Hill, Sky, and Sun

I love a power stance while making art! hehe.
