Good Morning!

 

Happy Monday. I hope you all enjoyed your break and were able to spend some quality time with your friends and families!

 

Welcome to Semester 2! This is by far the messiest semester so if you have a student in my class, please be aware they might get paint, clay, or other materials we use on their clothing. 

 

What's on the Docket for this week?

 

Kinder - This week, Kindergarten will jump into our next element of art, value. Value is the use of lightness and darkness within an artwork, whether that is black and white or tints and shades of a color.  We will be creating a winter scene utilizing value to show shadows. 

 

2nd Grade - This week students get to study the parts of a face, creating a portrait inspired by Pablo Picasso. 

 

3rd/4th—This week, we are beginning work on our final self-portraits, which we began last time we were together. We will begin with a short review and jump right into the project, focusing on Value and Shading. 

 

5th/6th—This week, we are jumping into our self-portrait project inspired by the work of Pop Artist Roy Lichenstein. Students will be working in reverse, starting with the details and ending with the full-color backgrounds. 

 

7th/8th - Students are starting Q3 which is all about Sculpture art. Their first project will be to upscale an item out of cardboard. Students will learn different cardboard techniques as well as utilizing prior knowledge of painting and paper mache.
