Good Morning Everyone,

 

Happy Tuesday! 

 

What is going on in art this week:

 

7/8 Drawing - We are spending the week working on our final drafts of our Historical Figure portraits which will be shaded with text. These text portraits challenge the students to think about the shadows and highlights within their reference image and how they can use words and typography to enhance their chosen portrait. 

 

5/6 Art - This week students are using their time to finalize their Still Life drawings. Students are working from objects that they chose from home, and 'zooming in' on different aspects of the objects to show more close-up details instead of only focusing on the object as a whole. 

 

3/4 Art - 3rd and 4th grade are also coming to the end of their first project, focusing on Landscapes and patterns using outlines and zentangles. Students received a reference image of a landscape and they are using that reference image to find the shapes within their landscape to fill with varying complexities of zentangle patterns 

 

2nd Grade - My second-grade students focused on lines and patterns this week, creating their own Farm Landscape. Towards the end of the week, we will focus on shape and color, finding our unique take on a self-portrait. 

 

Kindergarten - Starting the week off strong, we are finalizing the self-portraits we learned about and worked on last week. For the remainder of the week, we are looking back at our rainbow and starting to learn our color wheel and put together some of our color families and how they work with each other. 

 

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. Have a fantastic rest of your week!
