The start of this school year has been off to a VERY creative start! We have almost mastered our classroom procedures of setup and cleanup. And with two schools, 1,100 students, 42 classes, and only 30 minutes.....procedures are key to being productive.
Each grade level jumped right into a project filled with materials, techniques, and production. Even kindergarten started with watercolor paints.....I was feeling incredibly determined this year!
Kindergarten's Rainbow Lines:
These artists learned the basic watercolor painting techniques and painted in horizontal rainbow order. Then they cut a variety of vertical lines. Finally they glued them side by side with space in between.
First Grade Rainbow Danimals:
These artists learned the basic watercolor techniques
alongside a drawing lesson of animals using the letter D. Then they colored their 'D'animals using a rainbow pattern of crayon and painted the background with watercolor paint.
Second Grade Owls on a Birch Tree:
These artists learned primary vs secondary colors with an inclusion of texture. Next they used thick and thin lines to paint their birch trees. Finally the traced and cut out a variety of owls from their painted paper to create a collage.
Third Grade Visual Texture:
These artists used a variety of lines and pattern to create visual texture on their hand space. Next they decorated them, glued them, and added more visual texture to the background.
Fourth Grade Henri Rousseau's Jungle:
These artists are still in progress with one of my favorite projects. This assignment focuses on the artist Henri Rousseau and how to successfully use foreground, middle ground, and background perspective techniques. They also are using oil pastels, crayons, and watercolor paints.
Fifth Grade Elements Cube:
These artists learned the elements of art and how to produce them. Using a cube template they recreated their version of each element and created the three-dimensional cube.
