We are busy creating around here! Here's what's happening:
Middle School:
*7th Core has been studying Impressionism and creating their own Impressionist landscape paintings. They've been doing exercises in color mixing and learning how to create realistic color and light in their paintings.
*8th Core has been studying Pop Art and creating Pop Art relief sculptures in the style of Andy Warhol. They are moving on to Abstract Expressionism next, and will be learning how to express a mood, feeling, or emotion without using words or recognizable images.
*Mixed Media has finished their clay relief sculptures and are now creating a mixed media word design. They've learned about a variety of materials and are combining them to create a final product.
Elementary:
*Kindergarten: They are now color experts on Primary, Secondary, Warm, and Cool colors. We've been creating projects based on these color teams. We are moving on to creating patterns, and are making patterned pumpkins this fall.
*1st Grade: They have learned about Ancient Egypt and created their own clay sarcophagus. We are moving on to realistic observational drawing, and using pumpkins to draw our fall still life.
*2nd Grade: They have finished their realistic pastel fall leaves and are studying the Art of Japan. We made Japanese fans and are now creating our clay Koi fish.
*3rd Grade: They have completed a unit on observational drawing, light and shadow, and 3D shapes and created a still life. We are going to be studying Native American art--especially baskets--and making our own basket weaving before heading to Ancient Rome!
*4th Grade: We finished studying the art of Africa by making Safari Silhouettes and African clay water pots. They were introduced to the Art of China and are creating their own watercolor dragons.
Enjoy the new clay creations pieces in the display case from our 7th grade artists!
