DrawingsStudents began this project by studying Van Gogh's 'Sunflower Vase' painting. They each created a vase using shapes and then added their own variation of flowers to go inside. PaintingsStudents finished their work by painting with watercolor over their drawings. Students learned the technique of overlapping paint colors.
7th grade students learned about contour line drawing and visual texture over the past quarter. Their final project was to create a contour line drawing of a teddy bear and add texture using a pen to make the teddy appear like it is furry.
Wow are these landscapes that the third graders made just beautiful! Students started with a pencil drawing on black paper and then used Elmer's bottle glue to draw over their lines. After the glue was dry, students applied chalk pastel and explored the technique of mixing and overlapping colors.
We had so much fun in Kindergarten making these mixed media baby owls sitting on a tree branch! First we started by tearing strips of brown paper and gluing them down to make the tree branch look like bark. Then we took some cotton stuffing, rolled it into three small balls, and attached them to the top of the branch. We then added the details such as eyes and feet to our baby owls. To finish our piece we used a q-tip and white paint to make it look like it was snowing!
Students in 2nd grade have been learning about the artistic style of Vincent Van Gogh. Students created an oil pastel sky using small quick strokes like Van Gogh uses in much of his work. Students also learned how to draw buildings by using the simple lines that make an arrow! If you look closely, you may see some familiar Chicago buildings in their drawings!
Pablo Picasso GuitarsStudents have been learning about the artist Pablo Picasso and created a cubist background for a Picasso-like guitar. Oil Resist Watercolor PaintingsStudents learned about the magical properties of oil and water for this beautiful snowflake artwork. Students used white oil pastel and then blue and purple watercolor on top. When the watercolor goes over the oil pastel, the oil repels the water revealing their drawing!
Students in pre-k have been practicing using scissors all quarter long! We have focused on how to hold the scissors safely and how to cut correctly. Here you can see students cutting different pieces out of construction paper to create a confetti collage.
