1st Grade, 2nd Grade, and 4th Grade: Current Art Projects
First Graders are studying Dutch artist Vincent Van Gogh, and creating their own version of the "Starry Night" using oil pastels. Here are some students demonstrating Van Gogh's technique of using short strokes to add color to their papers.
Second Grade artists looked at Pablo Picasso's Rose period paintings, and then we discussed the art element of VALUE. Students mixed red and white to make tints of red, and red with black to make shades of red, and created these heart paintings that are full of patterns!
Fourth Grade artists have been studying the American artist Wayne Thiebaud, who just celebrated his 94th birthday in November! Here students have already sculpted their cup cakes out of clay, and are adding color with glazes. Stay tuned for more news next week!
