4th Grade Pop Art at the Administration Building

4th Grade has got a project up at the Greenwood Administration Building for the rest of February and the month of March!  Students were learning about the Pop Artist, Roy Lichtenstein.  Students took Lichtenstein's work as a jumping off point to create their own comic book inspired art.  They used elements like: Benday dots, onomatopoeias, and scenes from comic books.  The students got so creative with interpreting Lichtenstein's work in their own style that I had to share it publicly!

 

Great Work 4th Grade!!!

 

Wayne Thiebaud and Watercolors

Mrs. Habig's 5th grade class got to have some fun today learning about the artist Wayne Thiebaud, and his brightly painted sweets. Now, these students learned about Thiebaud before when they made cupcakes out of clay; so it was fun to revisit him in the 2D world. They also learned how to properly tape down papers they were going to watercolor on and how it helps to keep their papers flat. Here are some of the watercolor paintings from the day!  Watercolors might be my favorite :)

 



Pablo Picasso Reaches 5th Grade

Just this week, 5th grade has started their Picasso inspired portraits.  5th grade is not only looking at the Cubist portraits Picasso made, but also looking closer at how Picasso would combine a profile view with a straight on view of a portrait (thus making one face look like it has multiple faces). 

 

The 5th graders have been coming up with some really creative stuff!  It's making me feel inspired to make my own work too!  Here's a sneak peak at what the kids are just starting to make.

Another 2nd Grade Class Finishes Pablo Picasso Project!

Miss Thomas' class put the finishing touches on their art projects today and they are beautiful!  I love how creative the students are making their portraits!  Pablo Picasso would have been totally excited to see the students expressing their creativity in such fun ways!
