Happy May Day! As a special May Day gift to you, I have 3 projects to share!
The first is from 2nd graders. They learned about printmaking and self-portraits. We combined the two concepts together and created printed self-portraits. Hanging in the hallway is each students printing plate and one of the two prints they made. Each student chose their best print for the hallway.
The 4th graders have been hard at work at another project based on still life. This time, the students observed a bowl of fruit and did a drawing of it in class. We also looked at the artist Georges Rouault and his paintings. We noticed that he had dark black outlines around his objects which inspired the black outlines and stained glass-like lines in the background.
1st graders have been learning about how to make things look far away and close up in a picture. For this artwork we created 3 parts: the grass, the dinosaur and the trees and sky. Each piece was either the foreground, middle ground or background. Ask your student to tell you which is which!
