Art Room Update

Come and see what we have done!


5th Grade: Henri Rousseau inspired Jungle Drawings


1st Grade: Popcorn Drawings. For this project we talked about organic shapes and drawing from observation. After we were finished drawing, we ate our models. (:




4th Grade: Mountain Landscapes. For this project students learned about foreground, middleground and background. We colored the drawings with colored pencils and learned how to cross hatch, shade, and layer colors while using the "side hold" technique.




3rd Grade: Pastel Flowers. After looking at famous artworks that included flowers we discussed why artists often choose to draw and paint flowers. We gave it a try, then traced our pencil lines with glue. The next day we added colorful chalk. They turned out awesome!
