Ms. Heverly's Art Space

Our heARTs is in Art <3

Kindergarten

These kiddos have been working hard! We have been working on drawing animals (photos to come) and cave art! We watched a short video clip about the Lascaux Caves. We also had a discussion about what the cavemen might have created these drawings with in addition to why they may have created these images! Lastly, we viewed images of the animals and cavemen that were drawn in the caves. Now it was time for them to create their own cave art! Each table had colored chalk (red, gray, black, white and browns) and they were to draw an animal in the center. They were allowed to add cavemen and other details as well! We finished them off with a white handprint as a signature! They enjoyed using the chalk and blending the colors! We are finishing up the handprints and finishing our animal drawings and we will compare the images we draw today to the animal images from the caves!

First Grade

First grade students recently finished their chalk lions and have been working on a Cezanne inspired still life. First we discussed Cezanne and viewed images of his work. Students created these step by step as a class. I had previously drawn each step and I showed it to them and explained it as we went. First we began with 3 circles, then added stems, next the plate and finally they could customize their placemat or table. To complete these, we painted them using watercolors. Some classes are finishing these!

Second Grade

In second grade, artists have been working underwater images and image transfer. When we first began this project we discussed items that we might find underwater by brainstorming and looking at some projected images. Next, students drew their own underwater image on a white sheet of paper using pencil. We are currently in the middle of our image transfer process onto aluminum tooling (using our original image, a pencil and a magazine) and some classes are currently working on coloring these with colored sharpie markers! Finished images to come!

Third Grade

Third grade students are currently finishing up their tree-houses and beginning their animal textures. Completed images to follow!!

Fourth Grade

Fourth grade students have been working on two different projects. At Riverview we began working on figure drawing while incorporating the grayscale and introducing thumbnail sketches. Fishcreek students began working on a lego self-portrait that truly represents them! In the middle of all of these projects, students at both schools have been glazing their mugs and preparing them for their final firing in the kiln!

Or as my students refer to it...Ketchup Time :)

Kindergarten

My kindergarten kiddos have been working very hard! We finished up our self-portraits and moved onto the color wheel! In this project we began by creating a circle and dividing it into parts. Next, we reviewed the colors of the rainbow and applied them to our sectioned circle by coloring with markers. Students then turned their circle into a turtle...some were ninja turtles! To complete this work of art, kindergarten kiddos added types of line to create various types of water (zig zag was extreme waves, straight lines were calm water and so on!) We are currently working on Animal drawings and Cave Art!

First Grade

First grade student finally finished their Landscape, Cityscape & Seascape art. We then quickly moved onto chalk lions. We began by drawing a rectangle and then added additional shapes to create a lion. To color these, I decided to be brave and have them use chalk! It was extremely exciting to see how inspired they were while blending the chalk colors together to create the lions mane! They turned out pretty wonderful! Next they will be working on a still-life painting!

Second Grade

Second grade students finished their bubbles and have been working on Folded Fish. We began folding our large white paper into 4 equal parts. We then unfolded one part and drew a simple fish including things such as an eye, scales, fins, gills, etc. Next, we opened the paper up to create the mouth and the rest of the body. This was really fun for the kiddos because we began with an innocent fish swimming around and ended up with a fish with sharp crazy teeth!! Some students made their teeth silly instead of making their fish appear scary! We then colored them with crayons or colored pencils. We are now working on image transfer and aluminum tooling!

Third Grade

While still attempting to finish our 1point perspective drawings and our zentangle landscapes, students have also been learning about architecture. After discussing architecture in terms of what it is, who creates it and viewing examples, we decided to make it fun! Third grade students became "Treehouse Masters!" After thinking about interiors and exteriors and number of rooms, students also brainstormed ways to enter and exit their treehouses and ways to get from treehouse to treehouse such as rope bridges and zip lines! Some of these were very creative!! Next, students will be working on animal silhouettes and animal textures!

Fourth Grade

These students have finished their Van Gogh inspired chairs and have been working on creating crazy contour line owls! After a discussion about different types of contour line drawing such as blind contour line drawings and continuous line drawings, students drew a crazy owl using a continuous line. We then colored in each space with crazy bright colored markers! We are currently working on backgrounds for these and lego portraits!
