Imagine & Create!

The Creative Process Continues in Mrs. Heverly's Art Room!

Kindergarten

Kindergarten kiddos have been finishing up their owls! Kindergarteners tore pieces of brown paper and glued them onto a piece of black paper to resemble night. After all of the torn pieces of brown paper, or feathers were glued on, each student cut out and glued on eyes, a beak and feet! To complete the project, we used construction paper crayons to add a moon, stars and/or a tree branch! We are currently working on origami and clay will follow!

First Grade

First Grade students learned about warm and cool colors. At the beginning of each class we reviewed them before working on our projects and an image of warm and cool colors were displayed using the projector. Using what Mrs. Heverly calls "controlled scribbling," we colored patches of warm OR cool colors to fill our entire white piece of paper that would later become a background for our paintings. Students were to use as many warm OR cool colors as they could while utilizing crayons, markers and colored pencils. To complete this project, students learned about the famous artist Gustav Klimt and his Tree of Life painting. Using black tempera paint each kiddo painted their interpretation of Gustav's Tree of Life! We are currently working with clay!! :) 

 Second Grade 

In second grade, students have been working on mixed media self-portraits. After reviewing the parts of the fact, each student drew a self-portrait using a mirror and a pencil. When this step was completed, students then folded their paper creating four squares. In each square, a different medium was to be used. One square was colored using colored pencils, one with crayons, one with markers and the last one could be colored using pencil or one of the other mediums! We are currently working with clay!! :) 

Third Grade

Third grade students have been working on a mixture of projects! After finishing their Dia de los Muertos (Spanish Collaboration Project), students have been finishing up their Aboriginal Dot Art. After learning about Australia and their dot paintings, each student chose an animal to draw, paint and attach to piece of brightly colored paper. From there, we used neon colored tempera paint and pencil erasers to create patterns of dots around our animals. While finishing these up, students have been working with clay!! Next, third graders will be printmaking!  

 

Fourth Grade

Multicultural masks!! After exploring masks from different cultures, each student created their own. They were allowed to combine other masks or create their own original mask! Each student first drew their design on paper using pencil. From there, we transferred them onto a piece of aluminum tooling and colored them using colored sharpie markers. Next, we will be working with clay followed by self-portraits!  :)

*4th Grade SKETCHBOOKS!* 

Each fourth grade student received a sketchbook! Once a week I will assign a sketchbook assignment that will be discussed during the following art class. I believe that having an art critique about their sketchbooks will help them talk about their art once they are at Lakeview and Kimpton. Students who complete the assignment will be given bonus points! These sketchbooks are for the kiddos to keep and can be taken home! Also, they are allowed to draw in them in addition to their assignments, keeping the drawings school appropriate of course! These can also be decorated at home or I have supplies here at school! :)
