We are well into our shape activities here at English Landing. Take a look at what we are making!
 |
Kindergarten is focusing on circles. We read the book "The Dot", and looked at art by Wassily Kandinsky for inspiration. |
 |
We used oil pastels to create our circle art. |
 |
Work in progress. |

1st grade learned all about pumpkins. After reading a book about a pumpkin patch, we looked closely at pumpkin shapes in order to draw them realistically. |
 |
Notice the shadows and highlights! |
 |
Wow!! |
 |
2nd grade is studying organic shapes (shapes from nature). |
 |
We went outside to study leaf shapes. |
 |
We made sketches of the leaves we were studying. |
 |
Working hard! |
 |
Nice organic shapes! |
 |
These sketches will come in handy for our next art project. |
 |
After studying symmetrical and asymmetrical shapes, we made a symmetrical art project. |
 |
This project gave us some good scissor and glue practice, too. Look at those beautiful and intricate shapes! |
 |
4th grade finished up their Henri Matisse collages. We used geometric, free-form, and organic shapes in our art. |
 |
Finished product. |
 |
Finished product. |
 |
5th grade is focusing on 3-dimensional forms. After discussing the differences between shape and form, students created
3-D forms out of paper. |
 |
We made shapes such as a cube, rectangular prism, triangular prism, and triangular based pyramid. |
 |
They were tricky at first, but now we are really good at making them! |
