What a great way to start the year! We have met with each art class at BES and we are very excited about what's to come. The 1st week is full of introductions and seeing how the art room is organized and prepared to support students in reaching their best artistic abilities. "Do Your Best" is one of my favorite rules we have in the art room. With this in mind we being learning about our first art projects of the 2014-2015 school year.
In Kindergarten and 1st grade we will be using shapes to make a picture. While the 2nd graders learn about folk art and the artist Heather Galler to create a picture that represents their community. 3rd graders get their very own sketch books and begin taking notes on how to draw a self portrait. 4th grade sees a short film on Henri Matisse and begins planning their paper cut outs in their very own sketch books. 5th grade reclaims their sketch books from when they were in the 4th grade and begins taking notes on how to create a radial design using their very own name.
Stop by and see what we are doing with our imaginations.
Stay creative!
