Kinder is creating amazing patterns that will be transformed from two dimensional pieces of paper into three dimensional sculptures!
Fifth Grade has just finished studying the great Renaissance artist Leonardo Da Vinci, and have made horse sculptures out of clay. Here are sneak peeks of students painting glazes onto their bisque-fired horses; next step, another round in the kiln for the glaze firing!
Third grade artists are learning all about perspective and depth in two-dimensional artworks, as well as the art element of VALUE. Here students are creating a winterscape, and using size and color to show depth. They are mixing lighter and dark values of gray, and learning how to place objects in the background, middle ground, and fore ground.
Check back next week for an update on First, Second, and Fourth Grade artists!
Fifth Grade artists are creating the illusion of a three-dimensional room on a two-dimensional surface - paper! Students used six perspective techniques to help create their illusions: converging lines, overlapping, different sizes of objects, placement of objects, detail, and color. A casual classroom poll confirmed that students' favorite part was designing the artworks and sculptures for their galleries. Students were able to choose what style of art was in the galleries as well as if they wanted to have a matching theme for the art. Outstanding attention to detail and color really invite viewers to take a closer look.
