I publish a monthly blog at my current school, keeping parents informed with photos, project updates, and news from our art classroom. Below is an example from a recent month. Click here to see the entire year's catalogue of monthly updates.
Cubist Masks
Cubist Masks
Students learned about Pablo Picasso, Cubism, and contemporary artist Kimmy Cantrell. Ask your students where Picasso's inspiration for Cubism came from! We investigated Atlanta local Kimmy Cantrell's contemporary work. Students then designed their cardboard relief mask.
Paper Form Sculptures
Paper Form Sculptures
Our 4th graders concentrated on spatial understanding as they built form sculptures. These kids did a fantastic job on this multi-step process. They had to design their sculpture, draw and model the forms, color with anticipation of directional light, and re-build their 2D sculpture so it has a sense of weight and depth. Kids did an outstanding job.
Color Wheel Lions
Color Wheel Lions
For a fun crafty project that promoted color wheel understanding, students created a Lion. Skills included paper folding, color theory, fine motor development, two-tone painting, character design, and collage.
Contemporary Artist Research Projects
Contemporary Artist Research Projects
Our oldest classes explored contemporary artists, taking notes and researching modern artists and their craft. Students picked a favorite, gave a presentation, and led our class in a Feldman's model art critique.
Parent Art Night
Parent Art Night
It was my absolute joy to host parents for our February Art Night! It was a blast creating handmade jewelry alongside our amazing Premo community. Hopefully, we all walked away with some appreciation for handmade jewelry. :-)
