ABC Illustration with Grade 1

First Graders looked at the artwork of Illustrators, specifically, Shel Silverstein.  

We also looked at images of playground equipment.  We used problem solving skills to turn a letter from the alphabet into playground equipment.  Students used pen and water to create an illustration of their letter.  Students learned that illustrations can begin with one shape, like a letter.

This project turned out so awesome and was much fun!

Taking one point perspective to the wall - grade 5

Grade 1 - clay pinch pot

Kindergarten - clay medallions

Grade 3 -O'Keefe

Grade 3 studied the artwork of Georgia O'Keefe.  Specifically her work with flowers.  Students were challenged to 'blow up' their flowers and make them 'fall off the page'.

They used watercolor techniques to apply color to their flowers.

Simply beautiful!

Grade 5 - One point perspective

Grade 2 - Still Life

Still life paintings inspired by Vincent Van Gogh.  

Students studied Van Gogh's use of broken brush strokes and half mixed colors inspired by the Impressionism movement in art.  Students learned to draw things as they see them, still life drawing.  Students learned to use painting techniques to create a beautiful work of art!

Great work by our 2nd grade artists!!!
