4/14 - 4/18
Good Morning!
Happy Monday! I hope you all enjoyed your weekend.
What's on the Docket for this week?
Kinder - This week Kindergarten will be creating and glazing their pottery. Glaze is a special kind of paint for clay with microscopic pieces of glass so that when it is fired, the glass fuses to create a shiny, waterproof surface.
1st grade - This week, the 1st grade will finalize and glaze their pottery. Glaze is a special kind of paint for clay with microscopic pieces of glass so that when it is fired, the glass fuses to create a shiny, waterproof surface.
3rd/4th—Students will finalize their aboriginal dot paintings and glaze their tic-tac-toe boards this week. Glaze is a special kind of paint for clay with microscopic pieces of glass so that when it is fired, the glass fuses to create a shiny, waterproof surface.
5th/6th—This week, we are finalizing our reverse self-portraits. Students are working in the style of Roy Lichtenstein from the Pop art movement of the 1950s, taking on a comic book style. Students have been painting on a transparency so they have been working in reverse, starting with their details and then finalizing their painting with the big general colors. Due to our CMAS schedule, students will not get the chance to glaze their pottery, but once they take home all their artwork at the end of the year, students can paint their pottery with watercolor or acrylic, or they can color it with crayons and put it in the oven to melt the crayons over the surface.
7th/8th - Students are working on their final Digital project before moving on to Photography. Students will get their choice of imagery and will use geometric shapes to create a mosaic-style artwork, referencing the work of Antoni Gaudi, Maurice Bennet, and Sonia King. We will be using Canva for this project, but other sites like Illustrator and even PowerPoint can be used to create the same look.
