ART SHOW

It's that time of year again... ART SHOWS!! I have made the VERY difficult decision of selecting 6 pieces of artwork (from a school of 500+) to go on display in our annual district show. Here are the finalists. I couldn't be happier for my mini Monets!  

 Kindergarten: Grant Wood inspired landscape. Mixed Media: Oil Pastel/Watercolor

 Second Grade: Still Life. Mixed Media: Tempera Paint/Oil Pastel

 Third Grade: Canal Reflection Cityscape. Oil Pastel

 Third Grade: Animal Collage.

 First Grade: Animal Landscape. Mixed Media: Oil Pastel/Watercolor

Fifth Grade: Paul Klee inspired cityscape. Mixed Media: Watercolor/Crayon

What's been happening in ART?

Sorry it has been a while, I blinked and now it is MARCH! Here are some pictures of what has been going on in Art.

 These are some Mondrian Animals. I LOVE this lesson for 1st grade as a way to learn about artist Peit Mondrian and Primary Colors.

1st Grade moved right into Secondary Colors and we kept with the animal theme. I showed students a YouTube video of the book "Owl Babies", such a cute story of three little owls on a branch. But instead of white we went Secondary. But then talked neutral for our watercolor backgrounds. 

Art Club's made some clay penguins and polar bears for the winter theme groups. 

3rd Graders are starting Egyptian Portraits, these are already looking great! I'll keep you updated on their progress. 

*We have some artwork from a local artist, Jack Allen on loan at our school. It has been great to teach students about Abstract Expressionism. Be looking for pictures to come on that lesson.
