This week in art was a blast! Kinders learned the "magic" in leaf rubbings! They thought this was the coolest thing ever! 1st graders learned about acorns! I read them the book, Little Acorn by Melanie Joyce. This book teaches them about the life cycle of an acorn! They got to see real acorns and they drew their own super cute acorn too! These acorns are placed on our tree glass mural by the little kid playground! They also learned about Veterans Day and colored their poppies for all of the fallen soldiers. 2nd grade finished up their adorable owls and started their field of poppies. This project works on teaching kids background, middleground and foreground on their paper! 3rd grade wrapped up their 5 stacked pumpkins painting! They loved giving them jack-o-lantern faces! 4th grade glued their hanging bat to their sunset tree paintings from last week and they started making their links for their grade level, collaborative, American flag art piece! 5th grade
started their Verterans Day art project. They are creating agamographs. Agamographs are a a series of images that change at different angles. This work is named after the Israeli sculptor, Yaacov Agam who was born in 1928 and still living today. This artist is known for his optical and kinetic art. The fifth graders were so excited for this project! 6th graders almost finished up their oil pastel pumpkins! This project is teaching them how to observe still life objects from a different angle!
