The art room has been a fun and messy place these last couple of weeks. Students have been using a huge variety of media, and are getting some good practice with some new art materials. Take a look below to see what we have been creating as we continue to explore the art elements of shape, form, value, color, and space.
 |
| Kindergarten got some painting practice as they complete an experimental color mixing activity. |
 |
| Blue and yellow make... GREEN! |
 |
| We filled our entire papers with mixed colors. BUT we tried not to make brown by mixing too many colors. |
 |
| 1st grade reviewed primary and secondary colors with this beautiful cityscape activity. |
 |
| After reading the book Painting the Town by Denise Minnerly, students drew their own towns, and painted them with tempera paint. |
 |
| Students received only primary colors (red, yellow and blue) and had to mix them to create new colors. |
 |
| Finally, black paint was used to create outlines and windows. |
 |
| 2nd grade learned about Grant Wood. He loved to paint landscapes! |
 |
| We drew our landscapes with pencil... |
 |
| and colored them with oil pastels and tempera cake paint. |
 |
| Landscape in progress. |
 |
| Ta-da! We are proud of our landscapes. |

 |
| 3rd graders finished their harvest moon projects. This project focused on showing space or depth in an artwork. |
 |
| By changing the size of our shapes, we can make things appear to be close or far away. |
 |
| Objects in the foreground are big, and objects in the background are small. |
 |
| Great job 3rd graders! |
 |
| 4th grade finished their apple still life drawings. We used shading to show shadows and highlights. We used all types of media! This apple was done using ebony pencil... |
 |
| charcoal... |
 |
| oil pastel... |
 |
| marker (pointillism).... |
 |
| and sharpie marker (stippling). |
 |
| 5th grade used the 3-D shapes they created to set up still lifes. Look at those great shadows!! |
 |
| We drew the still lifes carefully. We focused on drawing the shapes in perspective, and creating shadows and highlights. Ms. May is proud of their hard work! |
