Project 6

The last art project for the 2019/20 school year is for all students!

KG, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th graders will be creating BUTTERFLIES.

There are multiple ways you can create your butterfly. You could draw your butterfly using crayons, markers, chalk, ink pens, colored pencils, or paint. You could create a collage using cut paper, clothing, dishes, or items growing outside. You could build your butterfly using blocks or Legos. 

ONLY requirement… that your butterfly shows symmetry.  

Just make sure both of your butterfly wings are the same!

Project 5

for KG, 1st, and 2nd Graders
(3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students you were sent a Google Classroom invite via email)

Wassily Kandinsky was an abstract artist who felt he could express feelings and music through colors and shapes within his paintings.

Watch the videos below before beginning your artwork.

Art with Mati & Dada  and  Wassily Kandinsky 

              

Directions: Create a picture using only one shape. Choose any shape you want to use.
You can draw using a pencil, crayons, markers, paint, ink pen, or cut out different sizes of the shape and arrange to create a collage.

Now relax... close your eyes, take a deep breath, and listen.  

What do you hear?  The TV in another room, someone cooking in the kitchen, a bird chirping, a dog barking, background music on an app or video game, a lawn mower.  Don’t hear anything?  Then play some music or your favorite song.

Focus on the sounds you hear.

Is the sound slow or fast?  Is it loud and energetic, or soft and soothing?  Does the sound repeat?   How does the sound make you feel inside? 

Now start to create your artwork based on the sound. 

Is your shape BIG or small? Does your shape repeat all over the page, or it is spread out?  Are you using more than one color or the same color multiple times?

Don't over think this... relax and let the sounds inspire your art!

Examples:

When finished email me a picture of what you create.
