December in the ART ROOM

Kinder- Winter Hats and Mittens

1st Grade- Snowflakes and Arial Snowmen
The watercolor resist sky will be created for their background and then we will move into sizes of small, medium, and large for the snowman.  Students will use a template to assist them in drawing but will cut free-hand.  We will put it all together and finalize the snowman with some details of scarves, carrot noses, and sticks for arms.

2nd Grade- Starry Night and Winter Trees
A foreground, middleground, background project with a twist.
Van Gogh's starry night will be a fun twist on a sky and the gray, black silhouette of the grounds will help create a good contrast.

3rd Grade- Clay Picasso Portraits
Slabs cut for the size of their Picasso masks.  Profile line will begin the separation and we will use additive and subtractive methods to complete the project.

4th Grade- Clay Slices of Cake
Slab & Coil techniques are being combined to create these awesome pieces of cake.  They are going to finalize their piece by the details on the lid/top of their piece of cake.


Sub Projects:
 Wreath of hands for grades 3-4.
All students will trace their hands, cut them out & glue them in a pattern to the cardboard bases.

 Snowmen catching Snowflakes
All students will cut a circle and a half circle out to create a snowman.  This snowman can be seen from the side, looking up, or in any which direction the prefer.
Students will use the scrap paper to create a scarf and cut out eyes, mouth, a nose.
IF there is time students will use the marshmallows and the trays to print with white paint- in the background or they can use crayons to make snowflakes.
