Oct. 10th- Oct. 14th

Kdg: Kinders are learning about SCULPTURE. Sculptures are 3D and you can walk "all the way around" them, as oppose to a flat painting or drawing! Following our lesson about lines, kinder artists used paper to create a line sculpture. 

1st: As part of our Types of Art Unit, Firsties are creating a Still Life painting. They learned about the artist, Paul Cezanne, and his still life paintings of apples. Still Life paintings are pictures of THINGS.

2nd: Second grade artists are demonstrating their knowledge of warm and cool colors with these ornamental corns! 

3rd: After learning about tints, shades, and hues, 3rd graders are creating GORGEOUS moonlit pumpkins. The students placed pumpkins in the foreground, middle ground, and background-- which is a way of adding PERSPECTIVE! Perspective makes art look more realistic!

4th: Fourth graders are finishing up a quick lesson about gesture drawing. Not only did we draw from live models (ie. ME and some volunteer students), but we also created foil action figures! We used our action figures to make gesture drawings. The key to drawing movement? Diagonal lines.

5th: Fifth graders drew their names in block letters using perspective, then placed them in a landscape setting, real or imaginary. These are so fun!
