    News & announcements from your child's school art room.

    November 8, 2016

    Hello from the Art Room!


    from Ms. Phelps and Mrs. Franchi
    We cant believe its already a few weeks into the 2nd Quarter! The school year has definitely flown by so far.
    We wanted to give you a glimpse on what is happening in the art room. Lets take a look at what we have planned for
    the rest of the quarter.
    KINDERGARTEN is currently working on their Dr. Seuss inspired Wuppet Puppets. Students learned about geometric
    shapes and are using them, along with different paper manipulation techniques to create their puppets. We also
    continuing to build their cutting paper and gluing skills. This quarter students will also be working in clay for the first
    time and will be learning how to make pinch pots. We will also be learning about organic shapes and how they are
    different from organic shapes. For this unit we will look at the artwork of Andy Warhol and create a project inspired by
    his prints.
    1ST GRADE just finished their Complementary Color Dance party project. For this project students learned about the
    artwork of Keith Haring, studied body movement and how to accurately draw bodies in motion, and learned the
    complementary colors (or best friend colors). Students will next be learning about the artwork of Alexander Calder
    and will be introduced to new types of artwork including mobiles, stabiles, and stained glass, while also reviewing color
    mixing and how colors are made. Students will ultimately create a mobile sculpture inspired by Calder and using their
    knowledge of color mixing.
    2ND GRADE will continue working on their Matisse paper cut out project as they have been learning about Matisse and
    his artwork. This project focuses on paper cutting out and collaging skills and the concepts of positive and negative space
    to create an underwater seascape. Once finished students will move into their torn paper Self-portraits while learning
    about da Vincis Mona Lisa. This project will work on paper manipulation and collaging skills to create a likeness of
    themselves.
    3RD GRADE: has begun working on their exotic jungle landscapes inspired by Henri Rousseau and his artwork. Students
    have studied the concepts of overlapping and showing distance, while continuing to work on their drawing skills in order
    to create exotic jungle landscapes. Students will also be reviewing crayon rubbing skills, warm and color colors, and
    paper manipulation skills.
    4TH GRADE is continuing to work on their Georgia OKeeffe chalk flowers. Students have looked at the artwork of
    Georgia OKeeffe, specifically her extreme close-up flowers for inspiration. Students used view finders to create close-up
    views of their flowers and the grid drawing technique to draw their flowers larger than real life. Students used glue to
    outline their projects. They will begin to use chalk and review the warm and cool colors in order to finish their projects.
    5TH GRADE is continuing to work on their fantasy structures inspired by the architecture of Frank Lloyd Wright and
    Friedensreich Hundertwasser. During this unit students have looked at the work of both architects, learned a variety of
    vocab related to architecture, learned how to draw and add value in pencil and crayon to different forms (including
    cubes, cylinders, and cones, along with reviewing the sphere). Students have finished drawing their fantasy structure
    blueprints and will begin adding color to finish their projects.
    It's going to be a great quarter!

    Artsonia is the largest student art museum in the world! Our dream is that every young artist will have an online art gallery, preserving their masterpieces in a
    digital portfolio!
