New year resolutions? One of mine should be to update this blog more often! Also I need to investigate into the legalities of posting kids artwork online, because really whats an art blog without visuals?!!
Quick update of whats going on in your childs grade:
k- Exploring the art element of texture and color. Currently we are working on cool and warm colored texture rubbings. Look for a valentine/Jim Dine inspired project to be appearing in the halls at the end of next week
1 - Texture (visual and tactile - can your child tell you which is which?). First up collage with visual textures and then clay hearts with tactile textures to follow.
2 - Art History focus on Claude Monet. 2nd graders are creating their own impression of Monet's famous waterlillies paintings. We will finish it up by contrasting the 2-d of painting with a small 3-d origami boat on the water. Monet loved water and boats and was inspired by Japanese art, so origami ties in nicely to this lesson.
3- Art History focus on Claude Monet. 3rd grade has been challenged to bring the paintings and images of Monet's water garden to life in the form of a paper sculpture.
4th - Art History focus on Gustav Klimt. Inspired by the shapes and patterns found in Klimt's art nouveau art work students are creatings their own take on the famous painting "Baby".
5th and 6th - SOCK CREATURES!!!! Almost never have I seen my darling 5th and 6th graders as happy as they currently art, sock creatures have begun. Students will be using socks to create stuffed animals out of. This project stresses competency and craftsmanship. By the end your student should be able to thread a needle, overcast stitch, and tie a knot, as well as bring home a most memorable stuffed animal.
