Kdg.- Kinders are finishing their pattern paintings and are ready to move onto their Silly Line Sculptures. We will discuss what a sculpture is, practice observing and identifying sculptures, then create our very own using the various types of line we learned at the beginning of the year.

1st- First graders are finishing their Wild Things and are moving onto studying 2D shapes and 3D forms. We used the smart board to practice identifying shapes and forms. Now, 1st graders will make adorable cube houses from 2D paper.

2nd- 2nd graders are creating Fruit Basket Collages. We discussed the art form of collage and reviewed the types of art (portrait, landscape, and still life). 2nd graders are really understanding that still life pictures are of THINGS!
3rd- Continuing with our clay coil pots, we are now using an alternative glazing technique! This process involves coloring the bisque-fired clay using oil pastels, then painting over the entire coil pot with black tempera paint. This leaves a very cool effect-- can't wait to see how these turn out.

4th- Fourth graders have been working very diligently to finish their Pointillism pumpkins. They turned out beautifully, but boy, are we ready to move on! We will self-assess our pumpkins, then begin new project.
5th- Fifth graders have completed building their clay donuts inspired by Wayne Thiebaud. While waiting for them to be fired and to glaze them, we have started learning about Space. We learned about what things might be seen in outer space and why space is important to humans. Inspired by photographs taken by the Hubble Space Telescope, students have started their very own Space Scenes using chalk pastels. 5th graders will practice elements such as contrast, texture, and placement!
