As November comes to a close, take a look at what we're making in art! As a reminder, artwork generally comes home once or twice a year (except for 3-D projects, which come home as soon as they are complete). Our kindergarten students began the year by learning about primary and secondary colors. We also talked about abstract art. Currently, we're creating shape-filled cities with textured grass and a mixed color background. OMS first grade students are working on "Fall Into Winter" paintings. We discussed warm colors and what changes happen to our world during autumn and winter. We also did a mini-project on architecture. After reading Iggy Peck Architect, students worked both with partners and alone on building (and drawing) Lego creations! Please see my previous blog post for our first project of the year: aquariums. Second grade students began the year learning about the life and work of Georgia O'keeffe and created soft pastel flower drawings. We created our flowers the way Georgia did, as though they were magnified. Our next project, which we just finished, was a Very Hungry Caterpillar inspired collage. Students also created a story about a "very" (tired, silly, artistic, whatever adjective they wanted) caterpillar! Our third graders are finishing up symmetrical alien masks. Prior to this we wove baskets. Check out the awesome variety of extraterrestrials below! Fourth grade students began the year creating van Gogh inspired oil pastel drawings. Currently we are making winter landscapes with warm & cool colors. Lastly, fifth grade students started the year creating silhouette collages (see previous blog entry) and are concluding a project on shades and tints. What are shades and tints you ask? See the picture below.
