Artists At Work

The art rooms at Brown & Lincoln are buzzing with creativity.

This has been another fast-paced, week full of learning and creating.

Y5's are entering into a unit where they are exposed to and experiment with several different art materials.  

K students are learning about Wassily Kandinsky and abstract art.  They will be creating a work of concentric circle art inspired by Kandinsky's work.

2nd grade artists are using line, shape, texture, space and form to create a realistic work of art.

3rd graders are finishing sketchbook covers.  We also started comparing realistic and abstract landscapes, learning foreground, middle ground and background, and will create an abstract landscape inspired by Ted Harrison.

4th graders are working with focal point and learning to create artwork with an obvious focal point.  They are using Henri Matisse's painting The Goldfish as inspiration.

5th graders are really pushing their artistic growth to create works of art that use symbols and images to create meaning.  These will become their name self portraits.
