ART
Created on Tuesday, 10 June 2008 10:14
In January, Fourth Graders will continue experimenting with value as they create abstract designs which incorporate the stippling, gradation and crosshatching techniques. Snowman collages are next on the agenda for First Grade giving them the opportunity to review color groups. Working with the tissue paper technique, they will be creating a frosty snowy day by using the cool colors for the background of their snowman paintings.
Line and pattern will be emphasized in both Kindergarten and Third Grade. Vertical and horizontal line will be introduced to Kindergartners as they create a simple composition based on the artwork of Dutch artist Piet Mondrian. Three dimensional lines will also be explored as they use paper sculpture techniques to create imaginary playgrounds. Wavy, jagged zigzag, dotted and dashed are just a few of the line types the Third Graders will be combining to create patterns as they design a patchwork cat.
And finally, Second Grade will be starting the New Year with a painting lesson using dinosaurs as their subject matter. Tissue paper and watercolor techniques will also be explored as they create a collage based on the painting "Goldfish" by Henri Matisse.
Happy New Year!
