This year in Art Club it is all about experimenting and trying new techniques. I've always loved art club because it's a smaller group of kids who all REALLY enjoy art! So this year we ALL (Yes even me) are going to try some new ways to make art. Each quarter will focus on a different medium. This quarter is all about drawing. I'm showing the older kids how to hone their skills and the younger ones get to use some new supplies.
First lesson for the littles (K-2nd)...CAVE ART. Cave men are the first artists you know. First we went on a virtual tour of the Lascaux Cave. Then we made our own cave wall and animals using chalk. (The closest I wanted to give them to charcoal.) Well we got a bit messy, but made some wonderful art.
We worked outside for a little extra texture.
The older group (3rd-5th) started by drawing a Still Life.
We talked about contour with this fun video on Vimeo: Contour Video and how to draw from observation.
