GES Art Teacher: Jenny Penuel fordj6@smithcoedu.net
Welcome to GES!
This week we will
CREATE Step 3: Use a variety of color schemes to complete each section of the Andy Warhol project.
Step 2: Create multiple copies of the same drawing using different color schemes. We continue to draw inspiration from the work of American artist, Andy Warhol.
Practice Contour line drawing by careful observation.
Step 1; Prepare drawings for a repetition image inspired by Andy Warhol.
PRESENT their work to their classmates and potentially as a wall display in the halls.
RESPOND by Asking questions about each other's work, explaining their choices, and interpreting what they see in the works of Andy Warhol.
CONNECT with their peers by discussing their ideas and design choices. They will connect with the artist's idea that art can be many things beyond paint and marble and even the simplest things can be artfully made.
This year we will be celebrating our country's 250th birthday by focusing on American Artists!
WEEK 1-2: Thank you X
WEEK 3-7: Andy Warhol
(Pictured is a compilation of runner-up designs from this year's Fair Cover Art competition. There were so many great pictures. I was proud that students made the competition fierce!)
Art class goals for grades 3-6 should focus on enhancing creativity, developing technical skills, and fostering an appreciation for various art forms. These goals can include encouraging self-expression through different mediums and understanding the elements of design and composition.
Key Goals for Art Classes
Creativity Development — Encourage students to explore their imagination and create original works.
Technical Skill Improvement — Focus on mastering techniques in drawing, painting, and mixed media.
Art Appreciation — Introduce students to various art styles and historical contexts to broaden their understanding.
Collaboration — Foster teamwork through group projects that promote sharing ideas and techniques.
Critical Thinking — Encourage students to critique their own work and that of their peers to develop analytical skills
My name is Jenny Penuel. My husband and I live on our family farm here in Smith County. I have drawn and made things with my hands since I was able to hold a crayon. I love seeing students learn about their world and how to express their ideas through making things along with me.
