This year began with Online learning, and that included Art. Projects were recorded so that students could do them at their leisure between assignments. They are still available on the Art Google Classroom so that students can still go in and learn how to draw or paint. All of these online assignments were created using simple art supplies, like crayons and watercolors that most students would have available at home. When students were finally back in the classroom, I tried to have them do lots of painting, which they all love.
Watercolor-Crayon Resist was used to create Fall Leaves. Tempera paint was used to make Painted Paper.
Students regularly asked to create dragons, like one I had up in the Art Room. So we made them out of Painted Paper. They turned out great!

First we made the Painted Paper, a visceral experience in and of itself. then students traced and cut out a dragon, and finally decorated it.

Artist Trading Cards
Artist Trading Cards
A new way to encourage students to continue to create Art at home was to introduce the idea of Artist Trading Cards. One can create Art on an index card with their name & grade on the back, then put their card on the board in the hallway, and choose someone's else Art they like. This way, they can create a collection of Art by their peers, and trade as many as they like. The kids loved this! Here is Sophia, trading her first card.
The Culminating Activity was learning about Color Mixing and the Color Wheel.
The Culminating Activity this years was color mixing. Students in Grades 2 -4 learned how to mix Primary Colors. Red + Blue= Purple, Yellow+ Red = Orange, Blue +Yellow = Green

Fourth graders were given a Tertiary Color Wheel, which is much more complicated than the Secondary Color Wheel. The third colors created were painted down below in the circles with the names on them.
