What's happening

I'm sorry there won't be any pictures with this post. My home computer is on the fritz so I can not upload any photos, hopefully soon though so be on the look out. But I still wanted to update everyone on what is happening in art right now.

Kindergarten will soon be finishing their primary color birds. This is a great lesson where students learn about their primary colors for the bird then mix the secondary colors for the background.

First graders are starting to work on their backgrounds to the Modrian inspired animals. They did a great job of using thoughtful craftsmanship when painting!

Second grade learned about Value and did some color mixing. Now they are starting to turn all that wonderfully painted paper into a Tropical Bird collage. Thank to you Deep Space Sparkle Blog for the idea!

Third grade just finished learning about Geometric Shapes and made some really creative Robots. Soon we will start making a Southwestern Landscape.

Fourth graders are learning how to weave. Creating circle weaving's using different color families, inspired by the Aztec "sun stones". Next step backgrounds.

Fifth grade students are being challenged and learning to draw using 2 point perspective. And they are passing the challenge with flying colors, I couldn't be happier with the results! Thank you to Mrs. Knight's Smartest Artist blog for both my fourth and fifth grade lesson ideas.
