This Week in Art:

All Students should have their Art Supplies — Art Supply list found under Parent Pages/Supply Lists on the school website.  All students were sent an invitation by me to JOIN their Art Google Classroom with the assigned class code.

I have met with all K-8 classes and will meet this week with our PreK classes.  Let the CREATIVITY BEGIN!!!

Kindergarten — We begin this week with a unit on LINE (Vertical, Horizontal and Diagonal — Line Families). Students will analyze the work of artists Kandinsky and VanGogh.  I will emphasize drawing with lines and shapes and using a horizon line in landscapes.  Kindergarteners will learn how to use basic geometric shapes to draw people.

Gr. 1 — First graders will start with a mixed-media collage where they will review the elements of art they learned in Kindergarten, learn water color technique and learn how to create TEXTURE using repeated patterns.

Grades 2 and 3 — these classes will finish designing their boy and girl face mask portraits.

Grades 4 and 5 — will be using construction paper to transform a 2-dimensional face mask into a 3-dimensional piece of original art work.

The Middle School students will be making their own Drawing Journals out of cereal boxes, paper, yarn and twine.

ECC Classes will be watching a video entitled “What is Art?”  — a Trip to an Art Museum.

Keep Creating and Enjoy Your Week!
