Kindergarten

Kindergarten students learned about Lines, Shapes, and Color. They demonstrated the use of these Elements by creating Line Monster drawings and mixing primary colors to create secondary color monoprint ink transfers. They created Line and Shape Lion Collages and drew a City Landscape inspired by the book Small Mouse Big City.  And they were introduced to Artist Yayoi Kusama and created Kusama inspired Pumpkin Collages.

1st Grade

Our 1st Graders started the year by creating a self portrait on their Art Journals. They proceeded to practice with line and shape by creating Line and Shape Sculptures, drawing and coloring Baby Yoda, creating Art inspired by the book The Rainbow Fish , and were introduced to Artist Yayoi Kusama to create a Kusama inspired Pumpkin Collage.

2nd Grade

2nd graders started the year by using the Elements of Art to create an "All About Me" cover for their Art Journal, including their name and a self portrait. They followed that with a directed drawing lesson to create a drawing of Naruto. Finally, they practiced drawing with texture, by completing a project on Art Inspired by Literature, where they created a Wild Thing in their Wild Thing habitat.

3rd Grade

Third grade has been bust this year! They learned about Typography and Fonts and practiced creating bubble and block letters while personalizing their Art journals with their names and more. They followed that by demonstrating understanding of the Elements of Art by completing an Elements of Art Worksheet. Next, they brainstormed 3 ideas for Art Inspired by Literature, to create an artwork inspired by a book they have read or would like to read.

4th Grade started off the year learning about the history of Typography and how it relates to Art and Art jobs. Then they created their own style of type and used it to decorate their Art Journals/Sketchbooks. Next they showed us what they know about Landscapes by creating a preliminary landscape drawing for their Student Learning Objective, demonstrated proper use of the Elements of Art by completing a directed drawing lesson of Goku (with 3D hair), and began to demonstrate Symmetry, by making paper snowflakes in preparation for the Festival of Lights Tree Decorations.

Our amazing 5th Graders also started off the year learning about the history of Typography and how it relates to Art and Art jobs. Then they created their own style of type and used it to decorate their Art Journals/Sketchbooks. After that,  they dove deep into the Elements of Arts with an exercise in Form and Value, and practiced drawing and shading 3D shapes to create a Still Life of Form and Value. In addition, they  learned about the Day of the Dead Celebrations during Hispanic Heritage Month and some practiced using Symmetry, to create paper snowflakes.
