Working with children (especially during this time of year) is so much fun! Their excitement is super contagious and I just can't help but join in on the joy of the holidays coming up. I hope you all have a fabulous Winter Break, Happy Holidays and Happy New Year!
Here is a little update on our little artists!
Kindergarten went from the past drawing animals on their "cave" walls to the present painting farm animals on their paper! Can you guess the different animals these artists have chosen to illustrate?
This week, we talked about patterns and textures we could find on our farm animals. We also looked at Picasso's Rooster and Andy Warhol's Zebra to see how they used pattern and texture but had a lot of fun with their color choice. Students tried their best creating the textures and patterns found on their farm animal but had so much fun using expressive colors!
PINK HORSES AND BLUE AND PINK PIGS... OH MY!
Third graders are still working hard on their Greek vessels. We looked at Red Figure and Black Figure Greek pottery examples. Students painted their vessels red-orange in preparation for their black designs and myth illustrations after break!
Fifth graders had so much fun finishing their figure unit with these elongated figure gesture sculptures inspired by the Swiss sculptor Alberto Giacometti!
With two grades making paper mache sculptures and all the other grades painting... combined with the excitement of break and the holidays right around the corner... it sure has been a long past couple of weeks! I think it is safe to say we all deserve to sharpen our saw with some time off!
SEE YOU ALL NEXT YEAR!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
