The beginning of the school year has been off to a wonderful start! The first few days we were busy with learning art room procedures and expectations, while each grade made a self-portrait using only one color. These self-portraits together will make a rainbow mural in the hallway.
Langston is also participating in Square1 this year! Square1 is an art fundraiser that makes keepsakes with your child's art on them. The proceeds will benefit the art program and PTO here at Langston. PLUS the kids feel so accomplished to see their work on the keepsakes. Each grade is working on their Square1 artwork right now. More information to come :)
Kdg.- Kinders were introduced to line types and the colors of the rainbow, while learning how to paint using a paintbrush. Students created gorgeous ROY G. BIV paintings.
1st- First graders are learning about different kinds of lines (wavy, zig zag, castle, etc.) and their line directions (diagonal, horizontal, vertical). Putting our new knowledge of lines to use, we are creating a "9 Lines" painting using watercolors. They're coming along beautifully!
2nd- Second grade students are finishing their -ISH pictures, inspired by the book by Peter H. Reynolds. We learned how to think "-ish" when we create and to let go of our frustrations.
3rd- Third graders are learning about implied texture vs. actual texture. We are working on implied texture landscapes. The kids are so amazed that they can DRAW texture.
5th- See Above
