The Story of Art

After hearing "Where the Wild Things Are" and "The Big Pets," we created our own Wild Things and made a group mural for them to "live" in. Concepts explored: Animals, environments (setting), horizon line, use of materials.

Lesson: “Value makes art POP”

After viewing examples from Artist Jim Dine, students created these pop art images of ordinary objects. Concepts explored: Shape and line, complementary color, value/contrast, use of oil pastels/blending.

Lesson: "Listen to your Eyes!"

Students created crayon and watercolor resist paintings after practicing contour drawing technique. Concepts explored: Drawing what you see (ie, an apple is not really a bright red circle), composition, resist technique.
