1st Grade - Boo! Watch out for those first graders they might just scare you. After studying how Pablo Picasso liked African masks, we made our own crazy mask. Using colored construction paper, we drew and cut eyes along with creating a shape for our mask. After getting the basic mask done, we flipped it over and started creating our designs.
2nd Grade - Groovy Gradation! All second graders are studying Peter Max and how he used gradation. Gradation means to gradually move from one color to another. It looks very smooth through blending. We connected gradation with what is happening with the leaves outside. After looking at a couple pieces of Peter Max's artwork, we started creating our own leaves. Some students drew realistic leaves, while others made up their own creative leaves. Next week we will be painting our leaves with a new watercolor technique!
3rd and 4th Grades - After working on our masks for the last month, we have finished them!!! This week I will be hanging up several artworks from each class for the "Scare Away Drugs" contest. During art class this week, we will have an 'Artist' day. This means the students can choose what kind of artwork they want to make and how they will make it. This is very rewarding after such a long project like mask making!
