Students are busy creating and learning great things. Here's a sample of what we are doing in each grade at the beginning of the year: Preschool: How to use centers in the art room including drawing, modeling clay, and blocks for sculpture. Students rotate through the three centers and can experiment with the materials at each station. We are talking about lines, shapes and colors. Students learned about the artist Mondrian and created a collage inspired by his paintings. Kindergarten: How to use centers in the art room including sketch books, modeling clay, and structure blocks for sculpture. We talked about the many different kinds of lines artists use (straight, curvy, zig zag etc.) and created a crayon resist painting. First Grade: Each student made their own sketch book to practice drawing and to collect ideas. We reviewed the line family by painting different lines with water color paint. These paintings will become the vase for their fall still life collage. Second grade: Students started the year designing their sketch book cover and then practiced texture rubbing. Texture is the way something feels. They will use their texture pieces to create a cut paper collage. Third grade: Students learned that artists keep sketch books for may reasons. The books become a great place to collect ideas to use in other art projects, a place to share drawings and a way to practice drawing, because the more you draw the better you get! Each sketch book needed to have the student's name, teacher code, and a starburst design. Students could select their own colors and art materials. Fourth grade: These students are working on their Michigan Themed Mosaic. Students will select a symbol important to our state (apple blossom, painted turtle, Mackinac Bridge, etc.) and create their design out of small paper squares. They will simplify their idea, use many values of color and glue things down with just the right amount of glue. Fifth Grade: We are talking about the importance of a unique identity; something that makes you special and different. Students cut a symmetrical shape in the style of a medieval heraldic shield from a folded piece of paper. They will create four symbols to represent their interests like their favorite sport, animal, food, or book character. Parent Volunteers: Parent helpers are always welcome. I especially need kindergarten volunteers. Please visit the sign up genius links below if you would like to help with kindergarten.
