I introduced the Art I project for Balance and Contrast. The students created a Notan Design using positive and negative space and had three different options for creating this project.
Third grade is finishing up their alien landscapes by adding in details that show perspective. Plants and rocks get smaller as they are further back. The students then drew aliens to cut out and put into the landscape.
First grade is finishing up their warm and cool colored landscapes. They drew in yellow windows and outlined their building and windows with black oil crayon. Next they drew and cut out a car to put in the foreground.
Fourth grade is continuing finishing up their Skull Dia de Los Muertos Design. We printed the skulls and then the students mounted them on paper and glued them to their painted floral background design.
Second grade worked on finishing up their Radial Leaf designs. They used either warm or cool colors for the leaf and the background was the opposite. The students drew designs with line and and shapes with oil crayon and then continued on by using a water call wash in the same colors.
I began teaching Kindergarten a lesson on Piet Mondrian. I had cut rectangles and squares in the primary colors and learned what the words horizontal and vertical meant. I was pretty impressed with how the students caught onto the meanings with hand signals and at the end of class could use the words. I showed a short PowerPoint in Piet's artwork and the students went up to the Smart Board and drew either a horizontal or vertical line where they were on Piet's artwork. The students now know Piet Mondrian as Pete! At the end of class I showed a short video on Piet's work.
