Second graders have been experimenting with EMPHASIS and trying to make their name the most BIG, BOLD, and IMPORTANT part of their composition.
Third graders have been studying the illustrations of artist Nate Williams and are using his work as inspiration for their self portrait sketchbook covers.
Fourth grade artists are experimenting with typography and using their imaginations to create new, inventive fonts for their covers. Their compositions are a reflection of their identity and use words they feel best describe their gifts, talents, and positive character traits.
Fifth grade artists are applying their art knowledge this year to create a sketchbook cover illustration that reads as a page out of their personal story. Some students are illustrating talents and hobbies, while others have documented special memories, or dreams they have for themselves. They have been challenged to apply artistic mediums that they enjoy using. We are learning a lot about ourselves and one another through these amazing compositions.
Our Young 5 artists at Lincoln have been practicing their fine motor skills by tracing straight and curvy lines, coloring, and cutting. Keep practicing scissor skills at home! We will be moving into learning how to use tempera paint and brushes properly over the next rotation.
Lincoln's K artists are working on drawing straight and curvy lines, as well as cutting straight and curvy lines. We discussed expression and practiced drawing different expressive eyes. We will be working on learning the ROY G. BIV color spectrum over the next rotation to complete our current project! We'll be saving the finished work as a surprise!
First Graders at Lincoln are completing a 20 line challenge for dot day. They each made a dot and created 20 DIFFERENT lines inside the dot. Our compositions are being painted right now as we review proper painting technique.
The art rooms are busy and students are off to an amazing start!
