Good Morning!

 

Happy Monday. I hope you all enjoyed your weekend!

 

This week, I will be attending a conference on Thursday and Friday, so I will have a substitute cover my classroom. 

 

What's on the Docket for this week?

 

Kinder - This week we will complete our final project - Our Warm and Cool Sunsets. Students will learn about the difference between warm and cool colors and how to identify them. Students will then create a sunset landscape separating the warm colors in the sky and the cool colors in the ocean water. 

 

1st Grade - This week we will create a still-life drawing, focusing on value and shape. I will help the students work with their pencils to "draw what they see". 

 

3rd/4th—This week, we are beginning work on our self-portraits, which we will finish when they return to me in March. 

 

5th/6th—This week, we are completing our second project, neuro doodles. Students will work on calming their minds and letting the artwork tell them what it needs instead of forcing colors, lines, or patterns. 

 

7th/8th - This week students will be beginning the planning process for our Second Life Paintings. Students will study and learn the techniques of impressionist and post-impressionist painters by giving a second life or "modernizing" some famous paintings.
