Sneak Peak...

Here's a little peak into the 5th grade display that just went up in the Art hallway.  We just finished up a school wide weaving unit!



Adventures in Kindergarten Art Class

Most of first semester in kindergarten was spent on the very basics of Art:  drawing lines, coloring, and cutting.  However, second semester has been far more exciting!  

I read, and sang ;) Pete the Cat to the kids and then we made our very own sneaker wearing cats!




We used recycled toilet paper rolls to be the cat's body, colored them with color pencils, and then added little white sneakers!  Too cute!
In our most recent project we learned a little more about Art history and discovered the painting "Starry Night" by Vincent Van Gogh.




Kinders used Construction Paper Crayons to draw their own "Starry Night"  I love how the crayons look like chalk on the paper!

We learned all about the curvy and dotted lines that Van Gogh used in all his paintings.





I love it when they're working so hard they can't help but stick their tongues out.

Foreground, Middle Ground, & Background


Fifth graders really worked hard on these projects! First, they painted the backgrounds using tints and shades: creating middle grounds using a silhouette technique: and finally drawing the foreground using color pencils. I'm so proud of them!



All the projects up in the hallway!
