KG in Art
Art class for kindergarten is a fun experience. We color, we build, we draw and we create. Students review and practice writing letters, drawing lines and shapes, and using scissors with control. We’ve learned about the primary colors and used these colors to create lovely drawings.
Positive & Negative Space
3rd grade students cut out any type of shape from a square piece of paper and assembled it onto a yellow background to identify the positive and the negative space.
Math Posters
Recycled Paper Towel Rolls
First grade students are turning recycled paper towel rolls in a collaborative work of art. Students painted their roll a solid color and then added dots using the complementary colored paint. I then assembled all the colorful rolls on the stairway leading up to their classrooms.
Warm & Cool Colors
3rd grade students identified and distinguished between warm and cool colors by creating either a warm colored hand interfering with a cool colored background pattern, or the opposite a cool colored hand interfering with a warm colored background pattern.
Cityscapes
2nd graders used shapes and details to draw cityscapes. Then students used colored pencils and focused on craftsmanship by filling in areas neatly and completely with a color.
Color Circles
3rd and 4th grade students work on a collaborative art project by designing, coloring and cutting out different sized colored circles. The circles were then organized by color and assembled to create an overall color spectrum.
Animal Drawings
An activity that 1st grade students work on throughout the year is to draw animals based off a letter of the alphabet. By using simple lines and shapes, students draw the animal and its environment.
Abstract Faces
Second grade students drew abstract faces with black crayons, and then filled in areas with color using water colored paint made from recycled marker ink.
