Good Morning!

 

Happy Monday. I hope you all enjoyed your weekend!

 

What's on the Docket for this week?

 

Kinder - This week we will be completing our first project - Our Rainbow Self Portraits. Students will learn about different types of lines and colors to create the background for their self-portraits and attach their faces after our backgrounds are dry. This will show up as 2 grades in the grade book: 1 for their background, and one for their self-portrait. 

 

1st Grade - This week we will be talking about shapes and how to use them to create an image. We will be studying the work of Mary Blair and how she was able to introduce new ways of using color within Walt Disney Studios and how we can use those colors to create our castles! This is inspired by the vivid colors and designs of the "It's a Small World" ride at Walt Disney World that was created by Mrs. Mary Blair.

 

3rd/4th - This week we are beginning our first big project. We will be starting the week off with some sketchbook work, learning and practicing patterns and landscape proportions. We will then begin to work on our final Zentangle Landscapes which will be due next Tuesday, 9/17.

 

5th/6th - This week we are beginning our first big project, Still Life drawings. We will start by learning the basics of how to draw/form a still life. Then students will bring in their own objects to draw close-up "zoomed-in" viewpoints of in order to complete 9 small drawings for their final image. This project will be due next Tuesday, 9/17. 

 

7th/8th - This week students will be finalizing their fantasy cityscapes, which are due at the end of class Monday, 9/9. We will complete a critique of their work as well as a peer's work, before moving on to our final project of the quarter, Animal Texture Scratchboard Drawings.
