Good Morning Everyone!
Happy Tuesday! I hope you are all having a great start to Spirit Week!! I apologize for the late upload of our weekly art endeavors, our first rotation for K-6 is coming to an end, and it has been a bit hectic.
This week in art:
7/8 - Pointillism and Color Theory - This week in drawing we are starting on our next project focused around Pointillism and Georges Seurat's neo-impressionist work. Students will be creating artwork showing their understanding of color theory using the stippling technique to create an image of their choice. Students are going to be utilizing the law of simultaneous contrast to create new colors and values within their marker creation.
5/6 - Value - This week, students are completing their final project of this rotation, utilizing value to determine the forms within a human skeleton. Students will be drawing on black paper with white charcoal to create a sketch of the human skeleton using highlights and shadows to give the illusion of depth to their artwork.
3/4 - Color - Students are trying out a new art medium this week through printmaking. After studying the work of American Pop artist Andy Warhol, students are creating a self-portrait study where they get to experiment with different color schemes through the use of a stamp-printing method.
1/2 - Color - Students are studying the work of Jim Dine and his use of analogous colors. Students are going to experiment with colored tempera paint sticks to emulate the simplified shapes used by Jim Dine while incorporating their knowledge of analogous colors.
Kindergarten - Color - This week students are learning the basics of the color wheel and how it can start to be broken up into color families that are easy to recognize. We will be focusing on Primary and Secondary colors and how they relate to one another.
