2/10 - 2/14
Good Morning!
Happy Monday! I hope you all had a good weekend! Welcome to a new rotation (K-6).
What's on the Docket for this week?
Kinder - This week, Kindergarten will jump into our next element of art, value. Value is the use of lightness and darkness within an artwork, whether that is black and white or tints and shades of a color. We will be creating a winter scene utilizing value to show shadows.
1st Grade - This week students get to study the parts of a face, creating a portrait inspired by Yali Ziv. She is a contemporary artist from Tel Aviv who focuses a lot on shape and color, which are the elements of art we will be focusing on as well!
3rd/4th—This week, we are beginning work on our final self-portraits, which we began last time we were together. We will begin with a short review and jump right into the project, focusing on Value and Shading.
5th/6th—This week, we are jumping straight into clay, so that students will have an ample amount of time to be able to paint their pottery at the end of the rotation.
7th/8th - Students finalized their planning sketches last week and will be starting on their clay sculptures this week. We are creating architectural constructions using the slab method, focusing on form and texture.
