The Creativity Continues!!

Kindergarten

Kindergarten has been creating flowers!! We painted flower stems, leaves and a sun using tempera paint. Next we cut circles out of a previously colored piece of paper. Then we glued the circles down and completed our art by adding flower petals and any additional details desired! (We are currently creating a large scale Kandinsky inspired piece!)

First Grade

We have been learning about positive and negative space! After learning what each word meant, we viewed some examples and pointed out which space was negative and which was positive! For our project, we cut and glued black paper onto a white piece of paper. Next, we cut and glued a flower vase onto our papers. With white construction paper crayon, we completed our art by adding flowers to our vases! (We are now creating "shapescapes".)

 Second Grade 

Second graders have been finishing up their Andy Warhol inspired artworks and we just finished up our Georgia O'Keefe inspired flowers!! The kiddos viewed Georgia O'Keefe's famous flowers and created their own flower close-ups. Using oil pastel and watercolors, their flowers turned out pretty amazing! (Next we will be learning about and working with warm and cool colors.)

Third Grade

Inspired by James Abbot McNeil Whistler, third graders created a beautiful firework seascape. Using sponges and tempera paint, they created their cities and reflections in the water. Next they added chalk for smoke and completed the artwork by painting fireworks, once again using tempera paint. Their art definitely reminds the viewer of a warm fourth of July night. (Now, we are working on Self-Portraits with a twist!)

Fourth Grade

Keith Haring is currently the inspiration for fourth grade. We spent some time viewing his work and a website dedicated to his art. We are currently creating 2 pieces of art inspired by his work...more pictures to come!! (After completing our Keith Haring art, we will begin still life drawings using forms.)

We will be creating another single Keith Haring figure and painting them! I can not wait to hang them in the hallway and create a large scale inspired work!! 

SoOo close to Turkey Day! Remember to consider the things we are thankful for!
