We've had another amazing rotation in our art rooms at Brown and Lincoln.  Students are mastering routines and we're getting into our art learning!

Y5 artists are working on identifying the parts of a paintbrush and experimenting with proper painting technique by keeping the brush happy and letting it paint on its tiptoes!

K artists completed their project learning the color spectrum.

1st grade artists are starting their work with the Elements of Art.  They are able to identify and create straight, curvy, and angle lines.  Next, they will review painting technique and apply paint to their line paintings.

2nd graders finished up their sketchbook covers and are now moving into working on drawing realistic pumpkins.  We're reviewing line, color, shape, form, and texture to create our masterpieces.

3rd graders are finishing sketchbook covers, then will be working on comparing realistic and abstract landscapes.

4th graders are finishing sketchbook covers and building on their academic art vocabulary knowledge.  They are working with focal points and creating a BIG work of art inspired by Henri Matisse's The Goldfish where their challenge will be to create a focal point.

5th grade artists are starting work on their name self portraits.  This is always a favorite project for both the students and for me.  Our 5th graders are learning to think very creatively and use images and symbols to create meaning in their art.  They are being challenged with the task of turning the letters of their name into images that describe who they are.  This process is tricky, but the results are amazing.
