1st grade has now joined the portrait bandwagon. The beginning project got them reminded and accustomed with the art room. Now we are working on a watercolor portrait with Kandinsky inspired circles in our background.
2nd grade is jumping into clay....
An underwater theme of fish and turtles will get them going. Two classes will be doing textured fish and two will be doing texture turtles! Our focus will be to apply texture to the slabs and then score & slip their fins or legs on.
We are going to learn about the parts of the fish & turtle we need to have in order to make them look as they should. But the texture- that is all up to the student!
3rd grade has ventured into landscapes with a focus on foreground, middle-ground, and background. We are viewing many famous works of art and acknowledging their composition.
We will be working on creating our own landscapes together, they will sketch their own, and then we will be enlarging the image. How this will all come together is still up in the air... the mystery behind the project.
4th grade- finishing their portraits: there are 3 levels to their portraits and this should be the end. We will be moving into an abstract experience with music and color after! (excited!)
The global read aloud is going on right now at HOWE and our 4th grade is reading:
Out of My Mind by Sharon M. Draper
Our focus is Chapter 2 when the main character describes how she can 'almost hear the colors and smell the images' when music is being played.
