Young 5's, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th Graders have spent a few class periods learning about class this month. Clay is one of the most exciting materials students work with! Everyone is excited! Students learn and work on various skills such as creating texture, properly joining 2 pieces of clay together, making pinch pots, and glazing. Here is the list of what each grade worked on: Y5's- Textured Heart Ornaments/wall hangings 1st Grade- Colorful Clay Owls 2nd Grade- Snowmen 3rd Grade- Pinch Pot Animal Puppets 4th Grade- Coil Pots (will be created in spring!) 5th Grade- Clay Leaf Bowls 2nd Grade Artists made these gorgous leaf artworks to pair with an Autumn Acrostic poem created in the Library with Mrs. Player! Using chalk pastels, students created a cool color or mostly cool color background with blues, greens, and violets, then colored in their leaves with a variety of warm colors- pinks, reds, oranges, and yellows. Mixing and blending is always encouraged and students came up with some fasinating new colors! Kindergarteners have been creating artworks using new painting, print making and collage techniques in a variety of ways. Begining with the 3 Primary colors and simple geometric shapes, students aranged, glued, and printed in response to artworks by Piet Mondrian. As their skills grew Kindergarten artists began collaging at liberty or within a theme. Students enjoy being able to make their own choices during their creative process. The work below dipicts such themes as Fall Pumpkins and Monsters. |
