This week in art: 
 
7/8 - Color and Contrast - This week in painting we are continuing our planning and starting on our final papers for our watercolor project. Students are creating artwork showing the contrast between Watercolor and pen/ink. This project is due on Tuesday, 10/31. 
 
5/6 - Line and Pattern - Students are beginning their zentangle silhouette project this week. Students will design their silhouette and zentangle backgrounds. Once they are done, students will create a wash background using watercolors. 
 
3/4 - Line and Color - This week students are starting on their Paul Klee line project. Students will be drawing in a continuous line, experimenting with different line styles, without intersecting their lines. Once they finish that, they will use oil pastels in the color scheme of their choice to create a blended pattern throughout one side of their line, leaving the other side white. 
 
1/2 - Line, Shape, Color - Students are beginning their first drawing project, focusing on Abstract Art through their study of Joan Miro. Students will learn about Abstract Art and how artwork does not have to include a subject or recognizable image. They will create an abstract artwork using their knowledge of Line, Shape, and Color. 
 
Kindergarten - Line, Shape, and Color - Students this week will be delving into the world of Abstract Art through the work of Reginald Laurent. Students will learn about Abstract Art and how artwork does not have to include a subject or recognizable image. They will get the chance to work with a new process called crayon resist painting. Students will begin the project drawing with white crayons on their paper and then use watercolors to reveal their images.
